In the aftermath of the fighting, [[House Marik]] was facing unrest among their numerous battered mercenary commands, and at least one 'Mech duel ensued between elements of the Fifteenth and disgruntled mercenaries. One mercenary unit—[[McFinney's Manglers]]—led an uprising and, together with other mercenaries, fought their way past elements of the Fifteenth to the Arzenburg starport. They would go on to form the famed [[Snord's Irregulars]]. In [[3010]], elements of the Fifteenth Marik Militia [[Battle of Uhuru (3010)|clashed with Snord's Irregulars]] on [[Uhuru]]. At the time, the Fifteenth were using experimental jamming equipment.<ref>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars (scenario pack)'', p. 28-29</ref> Later in that year they staged a successful raid against [[Cor Caroli]], obtaining large amounts of valuable engine parts. ===Anton's Revolt=== In [[3015]], the Fifteenth took serious damage from [[Anton Marik]]'s rebel forces.<ref name=FMFWL62/> They had been isolated on [[Berenson]] when Anton Marik adjusted their [[JumpShip]] schedules. The Fifteenth was present on the world, but couldn't get replacement parts or other supplies. With that in mind the [[Third Marik Militia]] and [[Fourth Ducal Guard]] landed on the world. Rather than face them head on the Fifteenth conducted a guerrilla war and a series of fighting withdrawals. These tactics kept them in the field and fighting much longer than the rebel command thought they would. They lost a battalion of troops before they were reinforced by the [[Thirty-first Marik Militia]].<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 26</ref><ref>''Godfather''</ref> Eventually the Fourth Ducal Guard was destroyed and the Third Marik Militia withdrew to [[Park Place]]. The Fifteenth pursued them, and after two weeks of heavy fighting the Third surrendered.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 32</ref> ===Raiding Liao=== For around a year's time in [[3026]] and [[3027]], the Fifteenth Marik Militia fought alongside the [[Gray Death Legion]] in several raids and missions into [[House Liao]] territory, the Legion and impicitly also the Fifteenth Marik Militia using [[Graham IV]] as a staging area to conduct their campaigns from. During the attack on [[Sirius V]] in 3027, it was the Fifteenth Marik Militia who was supposed to relieve the Gray Death Legion following the surrender of Sirius V, but Lord Garth of Irian and his [[Irian Guard]] arrived two weeks earlier to conduct the [[Tiantan Massacre]] and frame the Gray Death Legion for the deed, with the Fifteenth still in transit towards the world.<ref>''The Price of Glory''</ref> ===Andurien Secession=== The [[Tenth Marik Militia]] and the Fifteenth landed on [[Xanthe III]] in [[3037]]. Expecting to face the [[Third Defenders of Andurien]], the loyalist forces were surprised to find the [[Fifth Defenders of Andurien]] on the world as well. The fighting didn't go well, with the Militia units under heavy fire. The Fifteenth actually shattered when the Fifth Defenders hit their rear flank.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 74</ref> ===Operation GUERRERO=== In [[3054]], elements of the Fifteenth took part in the defense of a [[Word of Blake]] HPG Station on [[Berenson]] against mercenaries supposedly hired by [[ComStar]], an incident resulting in the destruction of the station. Later, it was revealed the entire event was orchestrated by the Word of Blake to create a backlash against ComStar.
