History

Formation

The Ninth Marik Militia was formed in 2725.[1]

Anton's Revolt

Fought Wolf's Dragoons twice during the Marik Civil War, on Emris IV in 3014 together with the Sixth Marik Milita, and again in 3015 on Vanra with the Fourth Regulan Hussars. Surviving these battles contributed to the Ninth being known as one of the luckiest units in the FWLM.[2]

The Ninth was reduced to less than a Battalion of 'Mechs, but did not stand down to refit following the end of the conflict.[2]

Defended Hassad from Capellan forces in 3017, and captured Goodna from the same in 3019.[2] The extreme losses from the Revolt and the following attacks on the Capellans were mitigated by the skill of the unit's Techs, who became experienced in jury-rigging replacement parts. The fact that the Senior Tech was willing to bargain with underworld sources and run elaborate scams to get the parts his unit needed helped as well.[3]

Fourth Succession War


Andurien Secession


War of 3039

Stationed on Carbonis during the 3030s and 3040s, which it used as a launching pad for raids on every Capellan world within sixty light years, including a 3039 raid on Capella, where they fought Blandford's Grenadiers.[4]

Operation Guerrero

During Operation Guerrero, the Ninth landed on Zosma[2]. This wasn't much of a challenge for the Ninth, however, and they quickly returned to their homeworld. The Ninth remained on Carbonis in 3067, and their time as a garrison force had reduced their combat skills.[5]

Operation Bulldog

The Ninth didn't participate in Operation Bulldog.

Jihad

In 3079 the Ninth Marik Militia redeployed to the Rim Commonality to insure that minor province's security. The Ninth split into three smaller commands, with Negushevo, Tematagi, and Tohelet each receiving a unit.[6]

Officers

In 3025 the Ninth Marik Militia was commanded by Colonel Montague Van Castille.[3]

As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Theodore Kauk[2][7]. He was still the commanding officer in 3067, but most of the actual orders and commands were issued by Force Commander Matthius Sunner.[8]

Tactics

Some parts of the brigade show better results in close quarter combat, but the rest lacks some battlefield expierence.[2]
