The '''Neerabup Melissia Theater Militia''' (previously known as the '''Neerabup Periphery March Militia''') is the defensive unit assigned to the outer edges of [[Lyran Commonwealth]] space. The Falcon Incursion of [[3058]] was a surprise to the unit as the Falcon line of advance didn't follow the expected course. Instead the Falcons swung wide and entered Lyran space through the Melissia Theater.

Prior to this the Neerabup MTM acted mostly as a mobile reserve for the [[22nd Skye Rangers]], who were also in the Melissia Theater. The only time the Neerabup MTM moved off [[Neerabup]] was when the Rangers engaged in a pirate hunting sortie.<ref name="fi12">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 12</ref>

Unfortunately they were pinned down at Fort Dresden by the [[5th Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|5th Battle Cluster]]. Though the Clanners thought the militia would simply roll over and die, the Neerabup MTM held them off for several hours. Not one MTM unit broke and ran, something that the Jade Falcons couldn't claim.<ref name="fi19">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 19</ref> As a result of their actions, the Falcons took many of the survivors as [[bondsmen]]. Speculation suggests that these bondsmen will be used to fill out the ranks of the 5th Battle Cluster.<ref name="fi13">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 13</ref><ref>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 8</ref>

During the [[FedCom Civil War]] elements of the Neerabup MTM landed on [[Melissia]] along with elements of the [[Gacrux FTM]] and [[15th Arcturan Guards]]. There they (along with the [[3rd Alliance Guards]] and [[6th Donegal Guards]]) faced seven clusters of [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. After three days of heavy fighting, the [[LAAF]] forces left the world, but the Third Alliance and Sixth Donegal Guards were destroyed.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 116</ref> The [[LIC]] sent the Neerabup MTM to [[Inarcs]] to destroy the [[7th Crucis Lancers]]. The Lancers fought hard for six weeks, but the MTM eventually accepted their surrender.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 148</ref> They later assaulted the Jade Falcon-held system of [[Black Earth]], where they faced the [[3rd Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|3rd Talon Cluster]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 118</ref>
 
 
 
The [[Jihad]] was hard on the Neerabup MTM. In [[3079]] they were reduced to 15% of their normal strength, leaving them with slightly more than a company of 'Mechs.<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 17</ref> By [[3085]] they had rebuilt to battalion strength by receiving replacement soldiers from the [[Qanatir MTM]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 106</ref> They were stationed on [[Main Street]] in 3085.<ref name=FM3085p108/>

After the loss of so many experienced soldiers, by 3062 the unit still wasn't able to operate as a large formation.
