Jihad
The Marlette Crucis March Militia were one of the units contributed by the Federated Suns to Operation SCOUR in 3077. Assigned to the Free Worlds League front of SCOUR, the Marlette CrMM formed a part of Group IV, alongside Beta Galaxy of Clan Wolf-in-Exile and the 3rd Lyran Guards. The Marlette CrMM soon saw action on Talitha, where Group IV deployed with the Clan Nova Cat Aegis-class WarShip CNC Blade in support and quickly achieved air superiority in the system. With Beta Galaxy forming the core of the ground assault, the three units quickly rolled over the defending Blakists and liberated Talitha in a short campaign.[1]
The first 18 months of Operation SCOUR were a bloody, brutal and demoralizing experience, and by the time the Marlette Crucis March Militia and the other Group IV units had linked up with the bulk of the rest of the Free Worlds League task force on Pollux in June 3078 the Wolf's Beta Galaxy was the least damaged of the Group IV units... and yet could muster only a single Cluster, one third or less of its' initial strength.[2]
During the Operation SCYTHE the Marlette Crucis March Militia was assigned to General Galen Cox's command. They were heavily damaged when the defending Word of Blake forces tried to destroy them with tactical nuclear weapons[3] during the battle for control of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.[4] The bulk of those who survived the nuclear attack had retired from active service by 3079, but the few who remained in service would provide the nucleus around which the Marlette CrMM would be rebuilt. The Marlette CrMM was also at the front of the supply lines for rebuilding and was likely to be the first of the new Light Combat Team-pattern Militias to enter service.[4] In addition to the high priority the Marlette CrMM had for supplies, more than half of the 'Mechs and armor from the Anjin Muerto CrMM were earmarked to transfer into the Marlette CrMM, although that transfer hadn't taken place by October 3079.[4]
By 3085 the Marlette CrMM was rebuilding swiftly, and although the equipment supplied to the Militia was of a technology level equivalent to that of the Succession Wars the new Marlette CrMM LCT was running workups and mock battles on Marlette to gain experience. The Militia found itself with no shortage of recruits as volunteers outnumbered vacancies two-to-one.[5]
