Bromhead Planetary Militia

Bromhead Planetary Militia
Disbanded 3067
Affiliation Federated Suns
Parent Command AFFS

Bromhead Planetary Militia was the Militia unit assigned to defend Bromhead.

History[edit]

Bromhead was strategically unimportant during the FedCom Civil War, and so saw no action. Indeed its defenders were stripped and reassigned elsewhere.[1] This left just the Bromhead Planetary Militia to defend the planet when the Second Taurian Lancers invaded in February 3067. The Lancers wiped the militia out, although the Leopard-class DropShip Acero escaped destruction, and not only damaged a Taurian Union-class DropShip during the initial attack, but also destroyed a grounded Mule-class DropShip full of supplies, forcing the Taurian Defense Force to attempt a resupply mission ahead of an anticipated Armed Forces of the Federated Suns counterattack. Captain Piotr Majikowski, the captain of the Acero, accurately predicted the deployment of the Taurian supply ship, the Overlord-class TCS Leviathan, and was able to harass the larger DropShip long enough to prevent it resupplying the Second Taurian Lancers before the AFFS counterattack began.[2]
