His uncle's reign was short-lived, due to his ill-health. Taking over for his uncle, Terrence set out to prove his critics he was man for the job. He issued plans which would stimulate economic growth for League and assure the Marik family future.
  
However, during his reign and of his predecessors plagued with economic recession due to rebuilding of [[Territorial States]]' surpassing League's outdated industrial base. There were people who felt that the Star League alliance was robbing the Free Worlds League of its economic potential. These scorned individuals would form a political opposition group known as the Protectionist Party in early 2600s. The group's influence had faded as by 2660s where House Marik's economy had improved enough that the Protectionist cause had little traction. Elements of this party went on to form terrorist groups, one of which would be known as the [[Scourge of Death]].

After a string of bombings, the group would make a name for itself when they bombed Dormuth estate of Terrance Marik on [[Marik]].<ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 87: Kernath Marik - Kernath's profile reveals the location of the Dormuth estate is on the planet Marik.

His wife, son, daughter, cousins and were all killed save cousin, General Gerald Marik. His cousin barely survived the blast due in part of miraculous feat of medical technology, the use of bionics.
