History

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 'Mechs while the other two battalions were equipped with a mix of heavy and assault 'Mechs. Since these units had a low ground speed, the Sixth trained extensively in making combat drops.[1]

In 2749 the Sixth was deployed to Blue Sava in response to rising tensions with the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]

Anton's Revolt

Together with the Ninth Marik Militia, defended Emris IV against Wolf's Dragoons in 3014 during the Marik Civil War, holding out for three weeks before conceding defeat. Wolf's Dragoons Gamma Regiment was stopped completely by the Sixth's assault battalion, the Death Watch Brigade.[2] They then redeployed to Sophie's World and Vanra.[3]

Fourth Succession War

Anticipated a call-up for Operation Dagger in 3028, but wasn't activated.[4]

Andurien Secession

Captured a former Defenders of Andurien base on Scarborough in 3032.[4]

Made occasional raids on Shiro III and Palladaine between 3032 and 3038.[4]

Landed on Conquista with the Atrean Hussars and Second Free Worlds Guards in a failed attempt to capture the Fifth Defenders of Andurien. This campaign led to bad blood between the Sixth and the Hussars.[4]

War of 3039


Operation Guerrero

During Operation Guerrero, they attacked Talitha with the Atrean Hussars and the Iron Guard.[5]

Jihad

During the FedCom Civil War, the 6th was deployed to the Lyran Alliance world of Arcadia in an attempt to rescue Kristen's Krushers. They drove the 2nd Donegal Guards off-world, but couldn't rescue all of the Krushers.[6]

In 3068, the 6th Marik Militia was destroyed on Megrez.[7]

Officers

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Boris Ames-Marik.[8]

As of 3050 to 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel David Kyster[9][4]. He was still in command in 3067.[10]

Tactics

The command use the advantages of the combined arms to its best efforts. During landing operation the double strength fighter branch provide air cover and air superiority for the entire brigade. 2 Battalions form the front line because the flanks and backyard are covered by the conventional forces, which also provide reconnaissance for the rest of the brigade. Should ever show the enemy a weak spot the reserve battalion will be ready to do its best to bring the enemies off balance.[4]
