The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] were the first to arrive, with raiders from the [[Seventh Donegal Guards]], [[Stealths]], [[Prefectorate Guard]] and [[Ariana Grenadiers]] attacking the League troops and each other; these were soon joined by the [[Fourth Davion Guards]] and [[Fifth Dragonlords]] - dispatched by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] - and the [[Eighth Sword of Light]] and [[Black Sharks]], dispatched by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]]. Tyrfing was already badly damaged, with much of its ecology poisoned by the aftereffects of the nuclear and chemical weapons used during the [[Amaris Civil War]], and the five-way battle for control of Tyrfing - or for access to loot any remaining [[Star League]] technology - effectively ended any prospect of Tyrfing continuing to be a viable world. Between the rampant use of nuclear and chemical weapons and the lingering poisons left from the previous war, almost ninety percent of the infantry forces on Tyrfing were dead when the battle ended in February [[2789]], and only a fifth of the Twenty-third's conventional forces were still combat ready - more than that of any other regiment to have participated in the battle. Tyrfing's pre-Coup civilian population of more than three billion had been reduced to just eight million and was falling steadily, with every major city destroyed during the conflict; by the end of the [[First Succession War]] that population had dropped to five million and was still falling, with the League government placing Tyrfing under quarantine in [[2824]].<ref name="FSWp110">''First Succession War'', p. 110: "The Tyrfing Conflict"</ref><ref>''Turning Points: Tyrfing'', p. 7</ref> − − The Twenty-third was subsequently destroyed later during the war.<ref name="FSWp138"/> − === Second Succession War ===+ The 23rd Militia contained the survivors of the [[8th Marik Militia]] after that unit was destroyed on [[Wisconsin]] in [[2838]].

The 8th wasn't able to resist the attacking [[Justine's Grenadiers]], and many Militia troops were captured.
