====Third Succession War====
Suffering increasing damage from Capellan Confederation raiders during the [[First Succession War]], wealthy merchant princes on Calloway VI formed their own private army in an attempt to defend against them, however, as the Succession Wars continued without end, the merchant cartels found their often-greedy and headstrong troops increasingly difficult to deal with. By the [[Third Succession War]] with disagreements mounting, the cartels offered their forces to the [[League Central Coordination and Command]] just to get rid of them. With his requests for troops increasingly stymied by the League's Parliament refusal to support his grand "[[Operation KILLING STROKE]]," Captain-General [[Thaddeus Marik (30th c.)|Thaddeus Marik]] eagerly accepted the new mercenaries. Renaming themselves the [[Langendorf Lancers]], after General [[Mortimer Langendorf]] the retired officer hired by Calloway VI's merchants to form the force, the force became a conventional mercenary command, suffering heavy losses during the truncated and ultimately unsuccessful Killing Stroke in [[2950]].<ref name=HM-43>''House Marik'', p. 43: "Operation Killing Stroke"</ref><ref name=HM-106>''House Marik'', p. 106: "Mercenary Units - Langendorf Lancers"</ref> By [[3025]], the [[Earthwerks Incorporated]] Martina plant on Calloway VI is one of its two remaining 'Mech plants, manufacturing ''[[Stinger]]'' and ''[[Archer]]'' 'Mechs, with a third line is being retooled for the ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]''.<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 129: "Earthwerks-FWL Inc."</ref>
