	The '''VIII Triarii Protectors''' (also known as the '''Eighth Triarii'''), are the garrison unit for Prefecture VIII.

−	The Eighth spent most of their time on Denebola in a quiet garrison post. They only moved to the Republic's border with the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Oriente Protectorate]] after the [[Blackout]]. They garrisoned [[Suzano]] and stopped their opponents from taking the world during the [[Capellan Crusades]]. They lacked the manpower to pursue the attackers though. When the order to execute Fortress Republic was issued, the Eighth refused to return. Instead they chose to remain on Suzano. After [[Fortress Republic]] was executed, the VIII Triarii Protectors remained on Suzano until [[3143]] when it became clear the Capellan Confederation was determined to take the system. At that point they joined the [[Republic Remnant]] outside [[The Wall]]. Before they left, though, Colonel Oisín Fegan negotiated with the Confederation to have Suzano enter the Confederation. This spared the population a fight on their world.<ref name=3145p42/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 30</ref>	+	After [[Fortress Republic]] was executed, the VIII Triarii Protectors joined the Republic Remnant outside the walls.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 30</ref>
−	They were the garrison of [[Alhena]] in [[3145]].<ref name=FM:3145p145/> In May [[3149]] the [[103rd Striker (Clan Wolf)|103rd Striker Cluster]] of [[Clan Wolf]] attacked Alhena intent on conquering it for the [[Wolf Empire]]. Colonel Oisín Fegan dug in his forces around the planetary capital of [[Focci's Point]], forming a wall of 'Mechs and [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] in front of artillery batteries. The 103rd's [[Star Colonel]] [[Maurice Radick]] realized that his [[Cluster]] would not win in a long-distance duel against artillery and  ordered a [[trinary]] of ''[[Linebacker]]''s under [[Star Captain]] [[Rhea]] to reconfigure for close assault and strike the Triarii's flank, relying on their speed to avoid being targeted by the artillery. Breaching the artillery park, the ''Linebacker''s silenced the guns and struck the Protectors from the rear as the rest of the 103rd launched a frontal assault. Mauling the RAF troops, few of the Eighth Triarii survived the 103rd's attack to withdraw off-world.<ref name=rg5p12>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 6'', p. 12 "Linebacker"</ref> <ref name=SFp69>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 69 "3149: The Dam Breaks - Reuniting with the Remnant - The Vanishing Remnant"</ref>	+	==Officers==

−	Linking up with the lone surviving [[battalion]] of the [[III Principes Guards|Third Principes]] on [[Marcus]], in March [[3150]] the Eighth Triarii would be attacked by the [[9th Assault (Clan Wolf)|Wolves Ninth]] and [[328th Assault (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault Clusters]]. Still bitter over being ejected from [[Castor]] during [[Operation SHOFAR]], the 328th hit the Eighth Triarii hard and fast from the start, the Eighth almost shattered during the initial charge. Ultimately with the Third Principes broken within three hours, after forty-eight hours of combat the vestiges of the Eighth abandoned the last Republic Remnant world to the Wolf Empire.<ref name=SFp85>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 85 "3150: The Predator Strikes - Chasing Down the Herd - Collapse of the Remnant"</ref>
