Kathil Capellan March Militia
Sarna News
History
In 3029 the Kathil CMM and two other units were transformed into the 1st Kathil Uhlans, after fending off a heavy capellan assualt on Kathil.
Years later, a new Kathil CMM was founded.
In 3062 fighting with the 8th FedCom RCT erupted. Both sides saw their respective chain of command as the legal one: The Kathil CMM followed the commands of Field Marshal George Hasek and the 8th FedCom followed direct orders from Katherine Steiner-Davion. As the 2nd NAIS Training Cadre was also attacked by the 8th FedCom, they joined with the Kathil CMM.
Both sides kept delivering reinforcements and the fighting kept on until the end of the FedCom Civil War in 3067. It is very possible, that the Kathil CMM was destroyed, as it was engaged in the battles from the beginning.

Notes
Their homeworld is Kathil. Their motto is "Duty, Honor, Loyalty".
One of their more prominent warriors was Captain (later Major) David McCarthy, a Kathil native who piloted a Devastator, which was rare in a March Militia unit. Formerly Kommandant McCarthy in the 1st Kathil Uhlans, he was one of the surivors of that unit's actions in Task Force Serpent, choosing not to join the SLDF like his fellow Uhlans and re-enlisting in his homeworld's military. For his ties to Prince Victor, the Archon-Princess demoted him to Captain. McCarthy took over command of his battalion after the Kathil CMM XO, Leftenant-Colonel Damien Zibler, was killed in the initial engagement between the CMM and the 8th FC RCT. He is also the protagonist of the novel Flashpoint, but it is unknown what came of him and his command by the conclusion of the Battle of Kathil.
