== History ==
=== Formation ===
The first [[regiment]] of the Marik Militia [[brigade]] - which was formed along with the [[Free Worlds League]] in 2238 - the First Marik Militia would serve the League for centuries. Like the other regiments of the brigade, the First was dedicated to serving and defending the people of the League, rather than serving the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], a distinction that separated the Militia from other federal formations such as the [[Atrean Dragoons]] and [[Free Worlds Guards]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 10: "Marik Militia"</ref>

=== Reunification War ===
At the start of the [[Reunification War]] the First Marik Militia was stationed on [[Rohinjan]]. The Militia was selected to support the [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] invasion of [[Cranston]], one of the first worlds to be attacked in the opening stages of the invasion.<ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref> 

==== Cranston ====
Cranston was expected to be a tough battle, and the SLDF [[Fifty-eighth Brigade]] had already been ordered to redeploy most of the brigade's [[aerospace fighter|fighters]] to the [[Fifty-seventh Brigade]] for their assault on the nearby world of [[Restitution]]. The First Marik Militia and the Second Orloff Grenadiers were deployed alongside the Fifty-eighth Brigade to bolster the invasion. Defending Cranston when the strike force landed in October [[2577]] were the [[First Canopian Grenadiers]], who were soon discovered to be much better armed and equipped than SLDF intelligence had indicated - a result of an illicit trade in weapons and matériel with agents and companies within the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Capellan Confederation]]. Although the Fifty-eighth and the FWLM units had the Canopian Grenadiers heavily outnumbered, the Canopians played to their own strengths by using maneuverability, speed and the local terrain to constantly harass the SLDF units, hitting hard and fading back before any of the task force unit could bring their superior numbers to bear.<ref name="H:RWp97">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 98: "Restitution and Cranston (October-November 2577)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (Jump-Off-2582)"</ref>

Hampered by a lack of AeroSpace forces to do any reconnaissance or gather intelligence and facing a foe that refused to engage in stand-up battles dragged the SLDF campaign out into November; events then took a turn for the worse when, on the 9th of November, the SLDF [[WarShip]] picket line in the system reported an unidentified vessel arriving at a pirate point in the system. The new vessel was inside the picket, and successfully deployed [[DropShip|DropShips]] onto the northern continent of Cranston, from which emerged the [[Third Canopian Light Horse]], fresh and supposedly the garrison for Restitution according to SLDF intelligence. Suddenly faced with twice the number of enemy forces and completely outmatched in the air thanks to the significant AeroSpace forces accompanying the Third Light Horse, the Fifty-eighth Brigade commander decided to split his forces; General [[Michael Martinnson]] deployed two thirds of his forces against the First Canopian Grenadiers, while ordering the other third and both Marik regiments to prevent the Third Canopian Light Horse from linking up with the Canopian Grenadiers. The next three weeks were a brutal campaign, particularly for the scratch company of AeroSpace pilots and fighters that were all the Fifty-eighth, the First Marik Militia and the Second Orloff Grenadiers could muster to defend them from the Canopian AeroSpace assets; by the time the MAF defenders had been forced to retreat from Cranston, three weeks after the Third Light Horse's arrival, the Fifty-eighth and both FWLM regiments had been bloodied, the MAF had proved that the war was going to be fought in a fashion entirely different to that predicted by the SLDF planners, and the surviving SLDF AeroSpace pilots from the scratch company were the first recipients of the Star League Medal of Honor in the Canopian theater.<ref name="H:RWp97"/><ref name="H:RWp150"/>

==== Granera ====
After the campaign for Cranston, the First Marik Militia were rotated through the supply and staging world of [[Granera]], presumably for repair and resupply. Intelligence received by the commander of the [[MAF]], [[Colonel]] [[Adam Buquoy]], indicated that the second-line troops acting as garrisons on various supply worlds throughout the border region of the [[Free Worlds League]] were ill-prepared for any attack and that where plans for the defense of supply worlds existed, they weren't being practiced. Buquoy acted decisively on this information; in addition to personally leading four mercenary units against the important supply world of [[Meadowvale]], he dispatched units to strike at three other supply and staging worlds - [[Ayn Tarma]], [[Saonara]] and Granera. The [[Second Canopian Light Horse]] were dispatched to attack Granera, and did manage to successfully destroy their assigned targets, but the presence of the First Marik Militia on the world came as a complete surprise to the Canopians. The Militia used this surprise to deadly effect, brutalizing the Second Light Horse and destroying almost a battalion of Canopian [['Mechs]] before the Second could withdraw.<ref name="H:RWp150"/><ref name="H:RWp99">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 99: "Meadowvale (January 2578)"</ref><ref name=FMP34>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 34: "2nd Canopian Light Horse"</ref>

==== Ruschegg ====
In contrast with the difficult campaign to capture Cranston, the deployment to capture [[Ruschegg]] in [[2578]] was relatively easy; one of three former [[Free Worlds League]] worlds which had defected to the Magistracy in the 2550s, all three were conquered through a display of overwhelming force and agile diplomacy by Captain-General Marik. The defenders of Ruschegg effectively offered no resistance to the SLDF landings, although it would have been difficult for any local militia to contest an invasion which saw the SLDF Fifty-eighth Brigade deploy alongside the [[Sixty-second Royal Brigade]], the First and [[Third Marik Militia]] and the [[First Fusiliers of Oriente|First]] and [[Second Fusiliers of Oriente|Second Brigades]] of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]]. Within a very short period of time the planetary leader of Ruschegg had not only surrendered but was actively petitioning for Ruschegg to be admitted into the Free Worlds League. The relatively peaceful capture and annexation of Ruschegg, [[Payvand]] and [[Scheuerheck]] was an important publicity victory for the Free Worlds League, one that the Captain-General's allies in the Parliament used extensively against opponents of the [[Star League]].<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp100">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 100: "Ruschegg, Payvand and Scheuerheck (August–October 2577)"</ref>

==== Obrenovac ====
When the war began, [[Obrenovac]] was a key trade hub for the [[Magistracy of Canopus]], and in March [[2579]] it was targeted for conquest by the [[Star League Defense Force]] task force. Following setbacks earlier in the war the task force was proceeding slowly but steadily in [[2579]], ensuring that planets were targeted with overwhelming numbers of troops to reduce the effect of any resistance; in a short campaign lasting from 19 to 25 March 2579, Obrenovac was conquered by the combined forces of the [[SLDF]] [[Fifty-fifth Brigade|Fifty-fifth]] and [[Fifty-sixth Brigade]]s supported by the First and [[Fourth Marik Militia]]. With more than twenty assorted regiments of troops used in the conquest of Obrenovac the occupation itself was little more than a police action with the SLDF rapidly taking control of government buildings and infrastructure. By January 2580 the task force had also secured the worlds of [[Eleusis]] and [[Bethonolog]] alongside Obrenovac, and in doing so had secured the entire anti-spinward flank of their advance into the Magistracy.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp100b">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 100: "Eleusis, Obrenovac and Bethnolog (March 2579–January 2580)"</ref>

==== Tetski ====
The heavily industrialized world of [[Tetski]] was the site of one of the more important battles of the SLDF campaign against the Magistracy. In the [[twenty-sixth century]], Tetski was one of the most rim-ward Magistracy colonies, and the site of some of the most extensive [[BattleMech]] repair facilities in the nation. As an important cog in the MAF war machine, battalions and regiments of Canopian troops were regularly rotated through Tetski and the system was one of the few worlds other than Canopus to merit a permanent naval [[WarShip]] picket. On the 3rd of September [[2582]] the defending planetary garrison, the [[Third Canopian Light Horse]], were witness to two battalions of the First Marik Militia arriving in-system. The Militia harassed orbital traffic, and then made landfall near a major refinery close to the city of Sendai, where they promptly tore through the local garrison.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp150"/><ref name="H:RWp101">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 101–102: "Tetski (September–November 2582)"</ref>

The MAF responded quickly; the naval picket blocked attempts by the Militia's DropShips to link up with their [[JumpShip|JumpShips]], while the Third Light Horse attempted to pin the Militia forces down and use their greater numbers to wear them down. The Militia responded the same way the MAF had since the beginning of the campaign - they refused to face the Third Light Horse directly, instead moving quickly and pulling the Third Light Horse further away from their established defenses. The Militia played hit and run for a week, and on the 10th of September, the second stage of the attack on Tetski began. An SLDF flotilla jumped in at a pirate point just ten hours out from Tetski and ripped through the two Magistracy [[corvette|corvettes]] in orbit before dropping more troops onto the planet - a lot more troops. The Third Light Horse made a cross-country race towards the capital city of Tokhai, arriving inside the city defenses just as the 'Mechs of the [[Fifty-eighth Brigade]] entered the atmosphere.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp101"/>

Unable to catch the Third Light Horse out in the open, the Fifty-eighth were faced with a siege; bolstered by the [[Fifth Marik Militia]] and the [[Third Fusiliers of Oriente|Third Brigade]] of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]], the Fifty-eighth spent three weeks forcing their way into the city, but even when the task force had seized the industrial, economic and political centers of the city, the Third Light Horse refused to surrender. Instead, the Canopians fought until every man was down, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The loss of Tetski and the facilities there was a heavy blow to the MAF war effort.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp101"/> A unit citation was issued to the First Marik Militia for their bravery in the campaign for Tetski, and the citation was added to the regimental standard; the Militia still carry the citation proudly today.<ref name="H:RWp38">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 38: "First Marik Militia"</ref>

==== Canopus IV ====
The Militia were largely inactive in 2583, but in [[2584]] they were a part of the Captain-General's massed assault on the Magistracy capital, [[Canopus IV]]. Three complete brigades of troops landed on Canopus in early May, the Fifty-eighth and [[Sixtieth Brigade|Sixtieth Brigades]] along with the [[Sixty-third Royal Brigade]]. Bolstering the brigades were three independent SLDF regiments along with almost half the [[FWLM]] auxiliary division. The First Marik Militia fought alongside the Third Marik Militia for the first time since Ruschegg, as well as the [[Fourth Fusiliers of Oriente|Fourth Brigade]] of the Fusiliers of Oriente, the [[Third Orloff Grenadiers]] and the [[First Defenders of Andurien]]. The battle for control of the planet took several weeks before the MAF defense was routed at the city of Delphi, and the First Militia wouldn't take part in another planetary invasion until the final year of the war.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp103">''Historical: Reunification war'', pp. 103–105: "Canopus (March–April 2584)</ref>

==== Kossandra's Memory ====
Settled shortly before the outbreak of the war by the MAF for use as a redoubt and base of operations should Canopus IV fall, the outback world of [[Kossandra's Memory]] was the site of the final battle between the SLDF task force and the Magistracy Armed Forces. The MAF had managed to keep the existence of Kossandra's Memory secret for much of the war although it hadn't been able to evacuate the [[Magestrix]] to Kossandra's Memory when Canopus fell in [[2584]]; when Captain-General [[Marion Marik]] finally invaded Kossandra's Memory in [[2588]] the Second Canopian Light Horse and [[Buquoy's Bandits]] were the only surviving major MAF units and were both on the world. Numbering just a few mismatched battalions, the MAF units still contested the landing, under the command of [[Colonel]] Adam Buquoy himself; Marik landed the First Marik Militia and the [[Third Regulan Hussars]] on Kossandra's Memory, along with the Sixty-second Royal Brigade and led them personally into battle.<ref name="H:RWp105">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 105: "Mopping Up (2584–2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583–2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583–2588)"</ref>

Marik used three regiments drawn from those who had landed in her assault against Buquoy's positions, and while Buquoy tried to trick Marik into making rash attacks that he could capitalize on, the Captain-General kept her cool and used her superior numbers to grind the Canopian forces down. With the last of the Magistracy forces finally defeated after eleven years of campaigning, the war between the Magistracy and the Star League finally ended when Marik accepted Buquoy's surrender with a firm handshake.<ref name="H:RWp105"/> The part the Militia played in this final battle wasn't recognized with a unit citation, unlike their actions on Tetski, but their role still generated almost as much pride in the regiment. Hanging in the regimental mess on [[Marik]] is a painting of Marion Marik accepting Adam Buquoy's surrender with 'Mechs from the First standing overwatch.<ref name="H:RWp38"/>

=== Star League Era ===
When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]] limiting the size of the military maintained by each [[Great House]] the First was one of nineteen active regiments within the Marik Militia. Like the other regiments of the Militia, the First remained a popular unit with both the commoners within the League and the peerage because of their public dedication to the people of the League, and like the other regiments of the Militia often acted as training grounds for troops across the League. A significant number of the personnel serving in other more prestigious federal units and various provincial forces within the League had actually begun their careers in the First or another of the Marik Militia regiments.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10"/> The First remained the most experienced of the Militia regiments<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10A"/> but was consistently posted to worlds far from the border with the [[Capellan Confederation]] because of the strong anti-Capellan sentiments within the regiment.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10"/>

=== Anton's Revolt ===
A loyalist unit in the [[Marik Civil War (31st c.)]], the First Marik Militia under Colonel [[Shanna del Rey]] was faced with rebel special forces and disgruntled workers who had seized the Soapstone Mountain BattleMech factory on [[Irian]]. Del Rey, unwilling to damage the factory, isolated it and attempted to negotiate.<ref>''Brush Wars'', p. 23</ref> However, when [[Janos Marik]] demanded an immediate resolution of the situation on Irian she abandoned the negotiations and staged a night assault. The rebels had no qualms about using heavy weapons within the factory, and as a result the plant was heavily damaged and virtually razed.<ref>''Brush Wars'', p. 27; ''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 127</ref>

The First Marik Militia remained on Irian throughout the civil war and was noted to have effectively vanquished their opposition in or by December 3014, suffering relatively light damage in the process.<ref>''Brush Wars'', p. 35 (also pp. 33, 37)</ref>

=== Third Succession War ===
Took part in two famous battles. The Battle of Skada Ravine on [[Megrez]] in [[3018]], where the [[Regiment]]'s Third [[Battalion]] (better known as the Perth River Strike Battalion) saved the other two battalions from an [[LCAF]] assault.<ref name=FMFWL54>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 54: "1st Marik Militia Unit Profile"</ref> [[Marcus Radatz]], the commanding officer of the Perth River Strike Battalion, earned membership of the [[Order of the Silver Hand]] as a result of the battle, and his successor, [[Shanna del Rey]], became a hero after defeating three LCAF 'Mechs that had threatened to flank the Battalion. Del Rey - an ''[[Orion]]'' pilot - became an overnight vidtape legend thanks to her homespun homilies, and would succeed Radatz as battalion commander.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p91">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 91: "1st Marik Militia"</ref> One unnamed [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] from the Perth River Strike Battalion, a minor noble piloting a ''[[Thunderbolt]]'', was considered a sadistic sociopath by his own superiors. He was demoted after the fighting on Megrez for an incident that killed the family of [[Lyran Commonwealth]] citizen [[Simon Kincaid]], but promoted back to lance commander only one year later in what was described as a recurring scenario. Kincaid wanted him dead so badly that he offered the [[Capellan Confederation]] secret technology in return for his death, and the Confederation delivered his frozen corpse to Kincaid on 18 November [[3027]].<ref>''[[Proprietary]]'', pp. 9f</ref>

=== Fourth Succession War ===
{{Sectionstub}}

=== Andurien Secession ===
In [[3039]], the unit was involved in [[Battle of Andurien (3039)|operations]] on [[Andurien]], north of the capital Jojoken. What started as a minor battle with the [[Sixth Defenders of Andurien]] trapping a [[Company]] of the First Militia in the city of Baroda escalated into a meeting engagement that became the pivotal battle on planet, shattering the [[First Defenders of Andurien|First]] and Sixth Defenders.<ref name=FMFWL54/>

A key component of the victory at Baroda was down to the actions of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Adrianna Chowla]], a ''[[Mongoose]]'' pilot within a recon [[lance]] from the First Militia's Second Battalion. Left alone behind enemy lines when her lancemates were cut down by forces from the Sixth Defenders, Chowla elected to remain in place, gathering information on the various deployments of the Sixth Defenders and then the [[First Defenders of Andurien]] when they arrived to reinforce the Sixth. Chowla made repeated runs to transmit information to the First Militia, despite being spotted and engaged several times by the Defenders, who began referring to her ''Mongoose'' as the "Ghost 'Mech"; Chowla not only provided key information to the First Militia but also downed a ''[[Vindicator]]'' in a battle that became a teaching simulation in later years used extensively by the [[Allison MechWarrior Institute]], and even went so far as to deactivate damaged weapons on her own 'Mech to ensure that the [[Beagle Active Probe]] continued to gather information.<ref name="TRO:3050Up188">''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 188: "Notable MechWarriors"</ref>

In later years the First staged a reprisal raid against the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s [[Warrior House Ijori]] on [[Jasmine]].<ref name=FMFWL54/>

=== Jihad ===
The First Marik Militia were stationed on [[Ohrensen]] when a [[Word of Blake]] task force struck at the planet in early February [[3079]]. The Blakists used nuclear weapons to destroy the defending ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Schrack (Individual Essex-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Schrack'']] and then attacked Ohrensen, inflicting severe damage on the Militia and destroying the planetary [[HPG]]; it would be a week before reinforcements would arrive arrive from the [[Kyrkbacken]] and [[Suzano]], and the reinforcements took heavy damage in turn from the [[Word of Blake]] forces.<ref name="J:FRp19">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 19: "Blakist Raids Savage Duchy Of Oriente"</ref>

The First Marik Militia were listed as destroyed as of [[3085]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 75: "Heroes of a Shattered House : FWLM Commands lost during the Jihad", the First Marik Militia is destroyed in 3085</ref>
