==History==
The '''Rim Commonality Guards''' were established as the [[Rim Commonality|Rim Commonality's]] military after the [[Free Worlds League]] dissolved in [[3079]], formed by former [[Marik Militia]] and mercenary commands who wanted a steady paycheck. Initially satisfied with just claiming their pay and settling for mediocre service, once the Rim Commonality began being raided by [[Regulan Fiefs|Regulan]] and [[Marian Hegemony|Marian]] forces they were inspired to improve their skills. Eventually this allowed the Rim Commonality to expand its borders as nearby independent systems agreed to form defense pacts. After the Free Worlds League re-formed in [[3139]], the Rim Commonality Guards received support from the federal government which allowed them to secure their gains.<ref name=FM3145p73/>

Initially satisfied to just claim their pay and aim for mediocre service, once the Rim Commonality began being raided by Regulan and Marian forces they were inspired to improve their skills. Eventually this allowed the Rim Commonality to bring other independent systems into the fold and establish mutual defense pacts with other independent systems.
