−	The Marik Militia [[brigade]] was formed in the early [[twenty-third century]] as the primary offensive and defensive brigade of the newly-formed [[Free Worlds League]]. The Second Marik Militia would serve the League for centuries. Like the other regiments of the brigade, the Second was dedicated to serving and defending the people of the League, rather than serving the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], a distinction that separated the Militia from other federal formations such as the [[Atrean Dragoons]] and [[Free Worlds Guards]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 10: "Marik Militia"</ref>	+	The Marik Militia [[brigade]] was formed in the early [[twenty-third century]] as the primary offensive and defensive brigade of the newly-formed [[Free Worlds League]].

	When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]] limiting the size of the military maintained by each [[Great House]] the Second was one of nineteen active regiments within the Marik Militia. Like the other regiments of the Militia, the Second remained a popular unit with both the commoners within the League and the peerage because of their public dedication to the people of the League, and like the other regiments of the Militia often acted as training grounds for troops across the League.

−	In [[2775]] [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] deployed the Second to [[Connaught]], in a blatant attempt to secure the [[Terran Hegemony]] world for the Free Worlds League. Under the guise of "providing relief to the overextended [[Star League Defense Force]]", the Second made an attempt to take control of the [[Kong Interstellar Corporation]] plant on the planet. the Kong Interstellar plant was a key military supplier that was rebuilding to pre–Civil War production levels, and was considered an important piece of infrastructure by the SLDF. The SLDF had no intention of simply giving up the plant, and a standoff between the Militia and the SLDF troops began, broken when shots were fired. In the resulting skirmish two companies of the Militia were destroyed, and the SLDF disarmed the remainder of the regiment and interned the personnel. Initially held on Connaught, the regiment was subsequently shipped to an interment camp on [[Talitha]] that [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] ordered built specifically to hold the Second.<ref name="H:LOTv2p32">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 32: "Don't Fight It"</ref>	+	In [[2775]] [[Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] deployed the Second to [[Connaught]], in a blatant attempt to secure the [[Terran Hegemony]] world for the Free Worlds League.

	Kenyon Marik demanded the release of the Second, as well as compensation for the damage the Militia had been taken, while FWLM regiments attempting to occupy four other recently-liberated Hegemony worlds issued ultimatums to the SLDF garrisons, demanding that they leave the worlds in the hands of the Free Worlds League forces. The SLDF responded by forcibly disarming and deporting each of the four regiments, although the SLDF troops allowed the aid workers who had traveled with them to remain; hostile communications between Kenyon Marik and Aleksandr Kerensky were exchanged for some time, causing Kerensky to commit more troops to defending worlds on the Free Worlds League border than he had originally planned. The personnel from the Second were repatriated, with most of the regiment back in Free Worlds League space by August, but five members of the regiment were tried and convicted for crimes against the SLDF. This included Colonel [[Lisl Stephenson]], the Second's Commanding Officer. Those convicted received sentences of between eight and thirty years each.<ref name="H:LOTv2p32"/>		Kenyon Marik demanded the release of the Second, as well as compensation for the damage the Militia had been taken, while FWLM regiments attempting to occupy four other recently-liberated Hegemony worlds issued ultimatums to the SLDF garrisons, demanding that they leave the worlds in the hands of the Free Worlds League forces.

The 2nd Marik Auxiliary Corps was one of a number of Corps that made up [[Task Force MAILED FIST]], the military component of [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the Star League operation within the Rim Worlds Republic between [[2581]] and [[2596]].<ref name="H:RWp152"/><ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref> The Second Marik Militia sent the bulk of Operation MAILED FIST operating alongside the Sixth Marik Militia and the First Brigade of the Fusiliers of Oriente; together, the three regiments would conduct campaigns in the [[Star's End]] system in [[2581]], on [[Stirling]] in [[2583]], [[Viborg]] in [[2588]], [[Marisura]] in [[2589]], [[Barcelona]] in [[2591]], [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Götterdämmerung]] in [[2592]], [[Bensinger]] in [[2594]] and [[Crellacor]] in [[2595]]. The only campaign conducted by this ad hoc formation that the Second missed was the campaign on [[Kladnitsa]] in [[2584]]; the Second remained on Stirling while the Kladnitsa campaign was fought by the Sixth and the Fusiliers of Oriente.<ref name="H:RWp152"/><ref name="H:RWp153"/> The Star's End campaign was one of the first systems to be designated as a target for the Star League forces; still considered a newly-colonized system in the late twenty-sixth century, the population of the Star's End system numbered less than five thousand but was considered a strategically significant system. As a result, it merited a strong garrison, and during the early years of the civil war within the Rim Worlds Republic that garrison was a battalion from the [[5th Amaris Fusiliers|Fifth Amaris Fusiliers]]. The Fifth were considered to be loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] but with no idea of how these loyalist forces would react, Task Force MAILED FIST was forced to treat the Fusiliers with suspicion.<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Persistence, Treeline, Star's End and Black Earth (May-December 2581)"</ref> The Second Marik Militia and the other [[FWLM]] units entered the Star's End system in May 2581. Unsure of what resistance to expect, if any, the [[Free Worlds League]] forces were surprised to find no visible military presence when they entered the system. The colonies had all been established on various asteroids along with the military garrison, all of which had gone dark to evade detection; with no charts of the system to draw on, the [[SLDF]] forces were forced to survey the system for themselves, a long, laborious fourteen-month task. Despite the difficulties in surveying the system, the Star's End system was declared to be secure in June or July, and the SLDF began to establish a fleet base in the system that ironically became the single biggest customer for the local mining colonies. The SLDF also established a supply depot on Novo Cressidas, the one habitable world in the system.<ref name="H:RWp132"/> In addition to facing the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers at Star's End, the Second Marik Militia would also come into conflict with the [[3rd Amaris Fusiliers|Third Amaris Fusiliers]] on Viborg, the [[7th Amaris Fusiliers|Seventh Amaris Fusiliers]] on Marisura and the [[3rd Amaris Legionnaires|Third Amaris Legionnaires]] on Stirling.<ref name="H:RWp154">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 154: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-off - 2587)</ref><ref name="H:RWp155">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 155: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref> While many of the campaigns were fought against local militia and partisan forces rather than line regiments from the [[Rim Worlds Army]], the Second Marik Militia found that the overall campaign became increasingly difficult after the atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584 resulted in a massive increase in resistance from local forces and partisans and increasingly rebellious populations.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref> The Second Marik Militia and their companion units from the 2nd Marik Auxiliary Corps operated largely independently of the other units within Task Force MAILED FIST; the exceptions to this were on Marisura, where they operated alongside the [[1st Arkab Legion|First Arkab Legion]] and the [[4th Proserpina Hussars|Fourth Proserpina Hussars]] from the Draconis Auxiliary Corps, on Barcelona where the forces of the [[Lyran Auxiliary Corps]] and the [[31st Armor Division|Thirty-First Armor Division]] were also deployed - with the FWLM forces being on the periphery of the event known as the [[Day of Rage]] - and lastly on Bensinger, where the Second fought alongside the [[17th Royal Division|Seventeenth Royal Division]].<ref name="H:RWp152"/><ref name="H:RWp153"/> === Star League Era === When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]] limiting the size of the military maintained by each [[Great House]] the Second was one of nineteen active regiments within the Marik Militia. Like the other regiments of the Militia, the Second remained a popular unit with both the commoners within the League and the peerage because of their public dedication to the people of the League, and like the other regiments of the Militia often acted as training grounds for troops across the League.

This included Colonel [[Lisl Stephenson]], the Second's Commanding Officer. Those convicted received sentences of between eight and thirty years each.<ref name="H:LOTv2p32"/> ===Third Succession War=== The Second Militia took years to recover from a botched raid on the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] world of [[Algorab]] in [[3020]] which cost them over half the [[Regiment]]. The Second's main strike unit, the Ridge Riders, survived the battle, as did the Second's command staff, but after three years of rebuilding the Second was still fielding a lot of green recruits. Appleton's Fire Battalion - also known as the "Fender Benders" - had almost two full companies of raw recruits and had managed to survive largely thanks to the instincts of the unit commander, whilst the recon battalion had barely more experience.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p91">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 91: "2nd Marik Militia"</ref> Transferred to the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] front in [[3024]], it was able to go on the offensive more, albeit at the cost of increased casualties. This led to a continuous cycle of raw recruits joining the unit, making it difficult for the Second to grow in experience.<ref name=FMFWL55>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 55: "2nd Marik Militia Unit Profile"</ref> ===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]]<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 33</ref> before taking up duty stations on [[Keystone]], where they would spend the rest of the conflict.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 35</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===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.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 64</ref> ===War of 3039=== In [[3038]], in conjunction with the [[4th Marik Militia|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.<ref name=FMFWL55/> 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 [[3rd FedCom RCT|Third FedCom]] RCT and the [[Sarna Martial Academy Cadre]], the [[LCCC]] was forced to send in the [[12th Atrean Dragoons| Twelfth Atrean Dragoons]] to extract the Second.<ref name=FMFWL55/> ===Operation Guerrero=== The Second Marik Militia didn't participate in [[Operation Guerrero]]. ===Operation Bulldog=== The Second Marik Militia didn't participate in [[Operation Bulldog]], but during this same time period they did rebuild to full strength.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 148: "2nd Marik Militia"</ref> ===Jihad=== Though largely left alone by the horrors of the [[Jihad]], the Second Marik Militia landed on [[Vosloorus]] in [[3077]] to oppose the occupation of the world by forces from the [[Principality of Regulus]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 46</ref> They were later relocated off the world, which was then taken by Regulan troops.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 52</ref> The Second was stationed on [[Manihiki]] and [[Alterf]].<ref name=frfwl8>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 8</ref> The dissolution of the Free Worlds League hit the members of the Second Militia very hard. Only about half of their troops came from the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, and the "foreign-born" troops continue to serve simply because they don't know what else to do. The unit's morale is very low at this time, with bitterness and disappointment roiling just below the surface. To overcome this, Colonel Gierke has established an aggressive training schedule to keep the regiment occupied.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 82</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Secind Marik Militia''' |- | [[Colonel]] || [[Lisl Stephenson]] || [[2775]]<ref name="H:LOTv2p32"/> |- | Colonel||[[Philip Ortega]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HMp108>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 108: "FWLM Deployment Table"</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Alva Gierke]]||[[3050]] - [[3085]]<ref name=20YUp56>''20 Year Update'', p. 56: "FWLM Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=ORp38>''Objective Raids'', p. 38: "FWLM Deployment Table - 3054"</ref><ref name=FMFWL55/><ref name=FMUp160>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 160: "FWLM Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p91>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 91: "FWLM Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |} ==Tactics== The Second makes extensive use of scout [[VTOL]]s and drone systems for reconnaissance.
