History[edit]

In 2775, Lisl Stephenson was serving in the Free Worlds League Military as the Colonel commanding the Second Marik Militia. Captain-General Kenyon Marik deployed the Second to Connaught that year, in a blatant attempt to secure the Terran Hegemony world for the Free Worlds League. Under the guise of "providing relief to the overextended Star League Defense Force," the Second made an attempt to take control of the Kong Interstellar Corporation plant on the planet. the Kong Interstellar plant was a key military supplier that was rebuilding to pre–Civil War production levels, and was considered an important piece of infrastructure by the SLDF. The SLDF had no intention of simply giving up the plant, and a standoff between the Militia and the SLDF troops began, broken when shots were fired. In the resulting skirmish two companies of the Militia were destroyed, and the SLDF disarmed the remainder of the regiment and interned the personnel. Initially held on Connaught, the regiment was subsequently shipped to an interment camp on Talitha that Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky ordered built specifically to hold the Second.[1]

Kenyon Marik demanded the release of the Second, as well as compensation for the damage the Militia had been taken, while FWLM regiments attempting to occupy four other recently-liberated Hegemony worlds issued ultimatums to the SLDF garrisons, demanding that they leave the worlds in the hands of the Free Worlds League forces. The SLDF responded by forcibly disarming and deporting each of the four regiments, although the SLDF troops allowed the aid workers who had traveled with them to remain; hostile communications between Kenyon Marik and Aleksandr Kerensky were exchanged for some time, causing Kerensky to commit more troops to defending worlds on the Free Worlds League border than he had originally planned. The personnel from the Second were repatriated, with most of the regiment back in Free Worlds League space by August, but five members of the regiment were tried and convicted for crimes against the SLDF. This included Colonel Stephenson. Those convicted received sentences of between eight and thirty years each.[1]
