Affiliation Terran Alliance
Parent Command Alliance Global Militia

The Third Alexandrian Militia was a militia unit formed on Alexandria.[1]

History[edit]

The Third Alexandrian Militia defended the University of Thebes in the four-month battle for Alexandria against the Fourteenth and the Twenty-ninth Alliance Special Combat Battalions. The Militia lost more than 3,000 soldiers during the battle for Alexandria and inflicted heavy casualties against its opponents. While the Militia was defeated, the Terran Alliance was unable to hold the planet due to critical supply shortages and a lack of reinforcements; the Fourteenth and the other units involved in the campaign were withdrawn in June 2238, effectively giving up control of the planet.[1][2]

Among those in the Third Alexandrian Militia who saw combat against the Fourteenth was Sergeant Hector Rowe, who was left permanently embittered and angry from the campaign and would eventually found the Periphery nation known as the Rim Worlds Republic.[1][2]
