General
Since the marriage between Ana Stewart, daughter of Earl Androcles Stewart, and Captain-General Janos Marik in 2998 the fate of the Stewart Dragoons has been tied up with the Marik family. Despite being founded by the first nation to be forcibly absorbed into the nascent Free Worlds League, the Stewart Dragoons have a history of loyal service to the Free Worlds League and House Marik. The Dragoons have a history of excellence across a wide range of combat roles, lack the antipathy towards the Capellan Confederation espoused by many other Free Worlds League Military units, and have benefitted from the high priority given to them by the LCCC due to their success and loyalty.[1]
History
The Stewart Dragoons began with the Stewart Commonality, sometimes referred to as the Stewart Confederation, one of many proto-nations to form after the Terran Alliance issued the Demarcation Declaration; the Home Guard can trace their roots back to the original Confederation military. When Juliano Marik landed eight regiments of combat troops on Stewart in 2293, the Stewart military resisted fiercely despite the three-to-one odds, and one of the two battalions of troops to survive the Marik conquest became the Home Guard.[1][2]
Under the aegis of the League the Stewart Dragoons grew in size through the Age of War, and one of the Dragoons regiments - the Juggernaut regiment - fought during the Reunification War as a part of the 1st Marik Auxiliary Corps under General Ian Marik. When the Succession Wars began, the Stewart Dragoons had expanded to five full regiments, but the centuries of warfare would reduce the Dragoons down to just two regiments by the end of the 3rd Succession War.[1][3][4][5]
