History
The Malagrotta Crucis March Militia was formed to defend Malagrotta against pirates and Taurian Concordat raids. In fact, the Concordat has targeted Malagrotta more than any other border world.[1]
FedCom Civil War
Though they paid lip service to Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion, the Malagrotta Crucis March Militia focused on maintaining their post on the Periphery border. They intercepted at least one hundred pirate attacks during the Civil War despite being stripped of most of their transport assets. [2]
Jihad
During the Jihad the Malagrotta Cooperative formed in 3073. Banding together with several other systems, the Cooperative opened trade relations with the Filtvelt Coalition and several other Periphery powers. The Malagrotta CrMM became the backbone of the Cooperative's military. In order to secure their borders, the Cooperative offered Letters of Marque to pirate bands. Unfortunately the pirates moved into the Cooperative and destroyed the Malagrotta CrMM. The Malagrotta Cooperative was freed by the Remagen Crucis March Militia. Once it rejoined the Federated Suns the Malagrotta Crucis March Militia began rebuilding.[3]
In 3085 the Malagrotta Crucis March Militia was reactivated. Though their equipment levels are low and many of the designs are pre-Civil War era equipment, the presence of the Malagrotta CrMM provides a political statement for the worlds that used to make up the Malagrotta Cooperative: They are not forgotten and they are important. Though the LCT lacks battle armor and Aerospace forces, the Malagrotta CrMM has access to a full regiment of conventional fighters.[4]
Officers
- 3050 to 3054, the commanding officer was Leftenant General Eda Shrake.[5][6]
- 3067, Major General Raul Jimenez Besoba.[7]
Tactics
The Malagrotta CrMM was adept at fighting in micro-gravity (Zero-G) conditions.[1]
