Franklin Pierce-Marinetti (born ???? – died June 3050) was the commanding officer of the 2nd Regiment of the 12th Star Guards mercenary brigade.[1]
History
Clan Invasion
In March 3050 the Second was stationed on Toland when Clan Jade Falcon invaded. The Second had taken a defensive position in the Judea Jungle along side the Toland Defense Force, however assaults from the Ninth Talon Cluster and the Turkina Keshik forced them to retreat out of cover across the exposed Cantor Climb. Here they were strafed by Falcon aerospace assets and harried all the way back to Toland City. Less than a company of troops reached the defenses there and the majority were killed in the final Falcon attack.[2]
A handful of survivors including Colonel Franklin Pierce-Marinetti made it off planet and escaped to Wotan to join the remnant of their sister unit, the First Regiment. The Falcon's hit the planet in June 3050 and the Guards attempted to fight them off alongside the Wotan Tamar March Militia. Colonel Pierce-Marinetti coordinated a series of small unit actions until he was killed in an airstrike after which the defenders were easily defeated.[3]
