History

Formation


Anton’s Revolt

During the Marik Civil War, the Eighteenth Militia supported Anton Marik, initially meeting with great success in their battles.[1] They quickly subdued Sorunda.[2] On New Olympia, however, the cadets of the Allison MechWarrior Institute and the Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace Academy managed to hold off the Eighteenth until reinforcements could arrive. These actions cost the Eighteenth Marik Militia a battalion of BattleMechs.[3] After the 21st Centauri Lancers arrived to reinforce the cadets, the 18th left New Olympia and secures Drusibacken. They then planned an attack on Keystone.[4] This attack was apparently unsuccessful, as was a raid on Emris IV where the 18th was savaged by the 6th Orloff Grenadiers and 8th Orloff Grenadiers.[5] When the 18th relocated to New Delos, they could only muster a battalion of troops.[6]

Fourth Succession War

Like most of the FWLM the 18th didn't participate in the Fourth Succession War.

War of 3039

In 3039 the 18th took the world of Hall from the Federated Commonwealth quickly and easily. Unfortunately the Black Widow Company led the counterattack, capturing part of the Second Battalion and smashing the other two battalions. The 18th withdrew to their base world to rebuild.[7]

Operation Guerrero


Operation Bulldog


Jihad


Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Jerome Merz[8]. He was replaced in 3066 by Colonel Julie Kiel.[9] Colonel Merz was stripped of rank and stood trial for tax evasion.

Tactics

The command could not fight as an cohensive unit because of the bad influence of the CO's. Once a proud unit it has developed to a running joke within the brigade.[8]
