===Third Succession War===
Around [[3020]] the Thirty-third Militia attacked [[Solaris]]. They landed using disguised [[DropShip]]s, reaching their primary objectives they were hammered by the Lyran counterattack. However, as the Militias fighters gradually lost air superiority the operation started to fail as the Thirty-third started to take heavy casualties. During a lull in the battle the 131st Battalion (Keshii's Battalion) was sent to attack the suburban hills area to draw away as many of the counterattacking units as possible. The Battalion soon found itself taking heavy casualties as well from superior air power and Lyran assault units. The orders to retreat did not reach every command and Company B, the ''Swords of St. George'', were cut off in a salient. When they finally attempted to retreat to their [[DropShip]]s it was too late as these had already been captured.<ref name=S>''Shrapnel'', pp. 94–102: ''The Race is not to the Swift''</ref>

The Thirty-third were not listed on the Militia roster in 3025<ref name=HMp108>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 108: "FWL Deployment Table - 3025"</ref> and it appears that the attack on Solaris destroyed them as a command.
