'''Philippa Marik''' (born [[2803]] - died [[2873]]), was the Thirty-eighth [[Captain-General]] of the [[Free Worlds League]].<ref>''Handbook House Marik'', p. 90</ref>

==History==
 +
Philippa was the second child of [[Charles Marik (29th c.)|Charles Marik]] and sister to [[Gerald Marik (29th c.)|Gerald Marik]]. She was appointed Captain-General of the Free Worlds League in [[2861]] after Gerald Marik's sudden death, coming to power as the [[Free Worlds League Military]] campaigns to recover territory lost to the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during and after the [[ComStar War]] were grinding to a halt.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p35">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 35, "Recovery and Stalemate"</ref>
  
==History==
+
A long-time advocate of peace, Philippa had the opportunity to work towards an armistice with the Lyran Commonwealth in [[2863]] when [[Archon]] [[Elizabeth Steiner]] proved to be of similar mind; although an official armistice wouldn't be called until later, diplomatic teams on both parts were welcomed on both sides.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p35"/>

As the prospect of peace looked increasingly likely Philippa came under increasing pressure to disband part of the [[Free Worlds League Military]] to allow funding to be redirected to reconstruct the League's damaged industrial base, and to relinquish the powers available to her under [[Resolution 288]]. Philippa resisted both calls, but did dispatch some of her surviving enclaves of scientists to the worlds of [[Andurien]], [[Danais]], [[Rochelle]] and [[Ryerson]] in [[2863]] in an effort to help rebuild industry on the four worlds. While Rochelle proved to be unsalvageable, the other three worlds underwent a remarkable recovery and would remain economically viable until at least the [[thirty-first century]] as a result of her efforts.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p36">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 36, "Last Chance For Peace"</ref>
