The 9 August, the critical military weakness of the League became evident when a group of [[Pirate]]s attacked New Delhi's Factory Zone 4, and [[Margolian]] wasn't able to defend it. In a meeting of the AML leaders, the 15 September, Marena, hearing Geran's advice, decided to recruit [[mercenary]] units, sending representatives to [[Galatea]] and [[Kandersteg]]. However, the 18 September, the [[Lone Wolves]] arrived by their own initiative. She had a meeting with their spokesman, [[Albert Heidegger]]. He impressed her as a very cunning negotiator, and despite the fact she needed desperately mercenaries, both bargained hard, eventually accepting a payment of money and a single [[OmniMech]] for the Wolves every month.<ref>''Lone Wolf and Fox''</ref>

Soon, the Wolves were followed by many smaller units. A unit, the [[Tread of Doom]] broke the contract, which enraged Marena, but eventually decided not to cancel the contracts with all the other units. She didn't want to groom another military caste, but tasked her military leader, Margolian, to create an AML permanent military, promoting him to [[Star Colonel]].<ref>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 43–46</ref>

Marena later negotiated with nearby worlds, incorporating more to the League. Her main interest was [[Blackjack (system)|Blackjack]], for housing military academies and ''sibkos''.

Marena, after hearing about the formation of the [[Clan Jade Falcon Remnants]] on [[Sudeten]], led by [[Jiyi Chistu]], she contacted him, ordering her to rejoin her former clan. When he, now proclaimed Khan, asked her to submit to him, she laughed about it, and refused to recognize him as Khan. Instead she offered him to command all her military assets, but as her subordinate. He refused, but the conflict between both Falcon proto-states didn't begin. In fact, Marena used the Remnants as dumping ground, to get rid of those unwilling to accept her new order, sending a full [[JumpShip]] to Sudeten with those who did.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 55</ref><ref>''A Question of Survival'', ch. 11</ref>
