====Formation====
The '''Sixth Marik Militia''' was formed in [[2241]]. Intended to anchor other units in their division, the Sixth was designated a "keystone" unit by the [[LCCC]]. This designation, along with the fact that most of their heavy vehicles carried [[LRM]] launchers, led to their name. The Sixth was one of the first [[FWLM]] units to receive 'Mechs, but retained their battlefield role. The first battalion was equipped exclusively with [[Assault 'Mech]]s while the other two battalions were equipped with a mix of [[Heavy 'Mech|heavy]] and assault 'Mechs. Since these units had a low ground speed, the Sixth trained extensively in making combat drops.<ref name=er2750p48/> The Sixth Marik Militia would serve the League for centuries. Like the other regiments of the brigade, the Third 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>

It was noted in ''[[House Marik (The Free Worlds League)]]'' that the [[1st Marik Militia|First]] and [[Third Marik Militia]]s earned enough salvage during the Reunification War campaign against the Magistracy of Canopus to form a sixth regiment.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p90">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 90, "Marik Militia"</ref> However, as the formation of the Sixth Marik Militia has been confirmed as 2241 in at least one more recent sourcebook<ref name=er2750p48/> the sixth regiment references in ''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'' has either been retconned or it refers to another regiment from within the Marik Militia.

When rolling random Lance type, add a +3 modifier.<ref name=er2750p141>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 141</ref>
