Formed after the collapse of the Republic of the Sphere, the Protectorate Coalition was one of the so-called proto-states created from the remains of former Free Worlds League worlds that had been ceded to the Republic.
Overview[edit]
Founded in 3136 as one of Thaddeus Marik's so-called Pocket Fortresses, the Protectorate Coalition consisted of the worlds of Kalidasa, New Hope, Alkes, and Rochelle.[2] The governing body of the Coalition was called the Senate.[3]
In 3137, the Coalition fended off incursions from the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth and Lyran Commonwealth.[2] By 3138, the Protectorate had entered into an alliance with the Covenant Worlds and sent militia forces in response to Thaddeus Marik's call for military assistance to aid the Oriente Protectorate's war against the Duchy of Andurien, joining the Covenant Worlds 1st Expeditionary Force by May of 3138.[4] The Expeditionary Force's success in taking of Savannah and Remulac created a bridge between the two stellar nations.[5]
After the collapse of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth in Operation HAMMERFALL, the Coalition's worlds began to receive refugees from the Marik-Stewart armed forces, including the entire Silver Hawk Irregulars, who based themselves on New Hope. By this time the Coalition was the only part of the former Silver Hawks Coalition to avoid occupation by the LCAF, Republic Remnant or Milton Combine.[6] The alliance with the Covenant Worlds, meanwhile, was deepening rapidly towards a union.[7]
The Coalition joined the reformed Free Worlds League, but the League proved unable to prevent the Lyrans from conquering Kalidasa and Rochelle. At some point prior to 3145 the remaining Coalition worlds joined the Covenant Worlds outright and the Coalition ceased to exist.[8]
