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]
