History

Formation

The Second Militia took years to recover from a botched raid on the Lyran world of Algorab in 3020 which cost them over half the Regiment. Transferred to the Capellan front in 3024, it was able to go on the offensive more, albeit at the cost of increased casualties. This lead to continuous cycle of raw recruits into the unit, making it difficult for the Second to grow in experience.

Anton’s Revolt

The Second didn't see any combat in Anton Marik's Revolt. Instead they reinforced worlds that were likely to come under attack or had been recently liberated by forces loyal to Janos Marik. In 3014 and 3015 they moved from their homeworld of Wasat to garrison Avellaneda and Oceana[1] before taking up duty stations on Keystone, where they would spend the rest of the conflict.[2]

4th Succession War

Andurien Secession

In late 3032 the Second Marik Militia raided the Federated Commonwealth world of Second Try. Even though the raid cost the Second quite a bit of equipment, the information they gathered about the FedCom's response and tactics was crucial to the LCCC's planning department.[3]

War of 3039

In 3038, in conjunction with the Fourth Marik Militia, the Second staged a successful series of raids that were intended to help both units gain experience. It worked, with the Second going on to carry out several more raids against both the Federated Commonwealth and Capellan Confederation over the next decade.

However, the unit's luck turned bad again in 3049, when faulty intelligence caused the Second to grossly underestimate the defenders on Sarna. Hammered by both the Third FedCom RCT and the Sarna Training Battalion, the LCCC was forced to send in the Twelfth Atrean Dragoons to extract the Second.
