===Succession War Era and Destruction===
Despite the best efforts of the Third and Eighth Marik Militia, the [[League Central Coordination and Command]] never fully trusted either regiments when the [[Succession Wars era|Succession Wars]] erupted. Thus both the Third and the Eighth was assigned to some of most difficult and dangerous missions during the early days of the Succession Wars, partly in the hope of eliminating potential troublemakers through attrition. Despite this, both regiments would ultimately survive the meat grinders of the [[First Succession War]].<ref name=FMFWL>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 53 "FWLM Rosters - Marik Militia: Mailed Fist in a Velvet Glove"</ref>

The Eighth would finally fall during the final decades of the [[Second Succession War]] to a sneak-attack while not in direct combat. Part of a string of deep offensive strikes launched by the [[Capellan Reserves]]' [[Justine's Grenadiers]] against the Free Worlds League's interior worlds starting in [[2838]], the Grenadiers would hit [[Wisconsin]] where the Eighth and another reserve regiment were on R&R. In a daring dawn attack, the Capellan unit's air lances would strike a mortal blow against the unprepared Eighth, decimating the unit. Though the other local defenders would prevent the Grenadiers from escaping with any salvageable equipment, the shattered Eighth's tainted reputation would ensure it was never reconstituted.<ref name=HLTCC-92>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 92 "The Capellan Military - BattleMech Regiments - Capellan Reserves - Justine's Grenadiers"</ref>
