Unit Description[edit]
The Wyatt Militia was formed to defend Wyatt. It has existed as part of the Free Worlds League, then the Lyran Commonwealth and finally the Republic of the Sphere.
History[edit]
First Succession War[edit]
Wyatt had been annexed by the Free Worlds League early in the First Succession War, but the Marik Militia forces assigned to Wyatt withdrew in late 2790, leaving the planet open to conquest. The League had honored the titles of the Roark family on Wyatt when the world was annexed from the Terran Hegemony, in exchange for the Roark's fealty. That fealty was tested when two Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces regiments - the Fourth Donegal Guards and Fifth Lyran Guards - arrived to annex the planet in January 2791. A Lyran negotiator attempted to persuade Baroness Althea Roark to switch her allegiance to the Lyran Commonwealth, but Althea's son and daughter - former Captain Stephan Roark of the SLDF and his sister Dana Roark - were opposed to breaking their oaths to House Marik, and so was Bartolomeo Roark. The defending forces on Wyatt consisted of the Wyatt Militia and the personal 'Mechs of House Roark, which were dispersed around the various Roark landholdings across the world. Stephan and his allies fought against the annexation, but were undercut by the Baroness Althea Roark, who aligned House Roark with the Commonwealth to preserve the family's position on Wyatt.[1]
Dark Age[edit]
By 3135 Wyatt's HPG had been chosen by ComStar to play host to an attempted restoration. While the first attempt failed, the second, overseen by technical genius Tucker Harwell, proved successful and on May 5th, 3135, Wyatt's HPG had transmitted and received data with its counterpart on Thorin.[2]
As many had anticipated, Harwell's success attracted the attention of other interested parties and Wyatt saw fighting between several factions throughout May that year, all intent on securing both the now-valuable planet and/or Harwell himself and led to the Battle of Wyatt. These included the Republic's Wyatt militia, the Eagle's Talons from the Oriente Protectorate, Chaffee's Cut-Throats, a mercenary force affiliated with Bannson's Raiders, and the Purifier Pouncers Trinary from the Spirit Cats. On May 22, a new and mysterious force entered the fray, abducting Harwell and then vanishing. [3][4]
Shortly after, when Exarch Jonah Levin enacted the Fortress Republic plan, Wyatt was effectively left as an independent world.[5] By 3145 it had been incorporated into the Wolf Empire[6], which most probably meant the end of the unit as such.[citation needed]
