=== Age of War ===
The relationship between the Atrean Dragoons and the [[Free Worlds League Military]] was formalized in [[2528]], when [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Albert Marik]] made the loan permanent in response to the eruption of the [[Second Andurien War]] between the Free Worlds League and the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Albert Marik attached a single stipulation to the formal transfer; the Sixth and the other [[regiment]]s of the Dragoons were required to honor their roots in the Marik Commonwealth by continuing the tradition of recruiting graduates from the military academies on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp9"/>

While the Sixth remained federal troops the entire brigade was loyal to the office of the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], allowing whichever member of [[House Marik]] was holding the office at the time to employ the Dragoons for his or her own purposes. These purposes - officially all undertaken in the interest of federal security, but often either of a federal or personal nature - included those that might have caused other federal units to hesitate, and with the increased tension between the Free Worlds League and the [[Star League]] following the [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]] Captain-General [[Ewan Marik]] wasn't above using the Dragoons as a martial extension of his belligerent and antagonistic policies towards the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Ewan Marik's son, Captain-General [[Kenyon Marik]], continued to use the Atrean Dragoons to make life difficult for [[Star League Defense Force]] garrisons in the Free Worlds League.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp9"/>
