History[edit]

Largely formed from the disbanded Eighteenth Marik Militia, Force Commander Halle Frazier chose to carry on the traditions of that unit even as the Free Worlds League dissolved. These traditions were maintained well-into the thirty-second century, with the unit continuing to use a red rose as their logo, and calling themselves the Red Rose of Connaught.[1][3]

Originally painting their 'Mechs silver with a red trim,[1] by 3145 the unit had reverted to the old paint scheme of the Marik Militia, painting their mechs purple with red and blue highlights.[3]

On 14 March, 3152, Captain-General Nikol Marik announced that the Fourth had agreed to rejoin the FWLM, re-forming the Eighteenth Marik Militia as the first unit in a reborn Marik Militia.[2]

Officers[edit]

Rank Name Command
Commanding Officers of the Fourth Marik Protectors
Force Commander Halle Frazier 3085[4]
Colonel Garrett Watkins 3145[5]

Tactics[edit]

By 3145, the Fourth Marik Protectors had chosen to emphasize aerospace fighters over more conventional units, fielding the largest number of aerospace fighters of the Marik Protectors, often allowing them to fend off pirates without their ground units ever having to open fire.[5]
