History[edit]
Following the creation of the Marik Republic in 2241, Charles Marik wanted to expand the four-world coalition, but he could not convince any nearby settlements to join. Charles began a campaign of conquest in 2245 that was aided and continued by his sons Alonzo and Detlev.[3][4]
Leader[edit]
Detlev succeeded his father as ruler of the Marik Commonwealth upon Charles's death in 2251. By 2271, the Commonwealth had increased to encompass twenty settled star systems.[3][2]
Free Worlds League[edit]
In 2266, Detlev was contacted by Sir George Humphreys at the behest of Tomás Allison, the head of state of the Federation of Oriente. Allison proposed a permanent alliance between their nations and the Regulan Principality. Detlev balked initially, though he liked the idea, fearing that it could not happen. Humphreys continued negotiating, however, until he persevered in 2269. During a meeting, Humphreys mentioned to Detlev that Raju Selaj collected miniature items: books, dolls, figurines, paintings, and the like. Detlev collected historic awards and trophies, and found himself intrigued by Selaj's collection. Detlev gave Humphreys a message to pass to Selaj and the pair began a correspondence that lasted for years.[5][6]
