1st Marik Militia

History

Took part in two famous battles. The Battle of Skada Ravine on Megrez in 3018, where the Regiment's Third Battalion (better known as the Perth River Strike Battalion) saved the other two battalions from a LCAF assault.

In 3039, the unit was involved in operations on Andurien, north of the capital Jojoken. What started as a minor battle with the 6th Defenders of Andurien trapping a Company of the First Militia in the city of Baroda escalated into a meeting engagement that became the pivotal battle on planet, shattering the First and Sixth Defenders.

In later years the First staged a reprisal raid against the Capellan Confederation's Warrior House Ijori on Jasmine.
