===Captain-General===
Juliano Marik almost did not become Captain-General of the Free Worlds League. Parliament had offered the position of Minister of Defense to Juliano's cousin, [[Micaela Marik (23rd c.)|Micaela Marik]]. However, she would die suddenly, and the position was offered to Juliano. It was in this position that the Stewart Crisis found him.<ref name=HBHM82>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 82</ref>

In [[2293]], the young Free Worlds League ran into its first obstinate power, the [[Stewart Commonality]]. Up to this point, the League had been able to convince, bribe, or cajole each neighboring world to join. [[Stewart]] was different. The six-system nation was ruled by [[David Genovese]], a dictator. In his hubris, Genovese did not think the League a threat. He was wrong. Parliament named Juliano Marik the first Captain-General in the history of the Free Worlds League and prepared for war.<ref name=HBHM12>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 12</ref><ref name=HBHM13>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 13: "First Blood"</ref>

Captain-General Marik led his expeditionary force to Stewart, jumping into the system on 19 September 2293. Genovese insisted on taking direct command of the Stewart forces despite severe communication problems. His micromanagement was ineffective and Juliano Marik led the FWLM forces to a decisive victory in only four months, conquering the Stewart Commonality.<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 10: "A Fool and His Kingdom"</ref><ref name=HBHM12/><ref name=HBHM13/>

Following the end of hostilities, command of the FWLM reverted to Parliament. Juliano served another term as Captain-General in [[2297]]. Parliament appointed [[Danak Selaj]] Captain-General in [[2306]]. Selaj's one-year term was a failure.<ref name=HBHM82/>

Juliano was called back to service in [[2314]] following Fleet Admiral [[James McKenna]]'s establishment of the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The FWLM was alerted, and Juliano sent [[James Humphreys]] to negotiate with McKenna. Humphreys secretly signed the [[Treaty of Terra]], which normalized relations between the Hegemony and League.<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 11: "Military Crisis on Terra"</ref><ref name=HBHM13/><ref name=HBHM82/>

Juliano was responsible for the creation of what became known as [[SAFE]]. After leading the FWLM in the Stewart War and during the 2310s, Juliano realized that the League needed a unified intelligence agency. As a member of Parliament, Juliano was the sponsor for a bill creating such a federal agency. Though the vote was narrow, Parliament created the National Intelligence Agency in August [[2317]].<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 121: "Origins and History"</ref>
