−	===Jihad===
−	The Foriteth Marik Militia was rebuilt following the end of the [[Jihad]] out of the remnants of the [[Stewart]] [[Home Guard (Free Worlds League)|Home Guard]] after it was shattered by the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. The Fortieth's new commander, son of the Home Guard's commander [[Virginia Nash]], allowed feelings of rage and hatred for the Republic to fester and approached [[Duke]] [[Leonard Stewart]] for sponsorship in [[3082]]. Due to concerns that the Fortieth Militia would launch an unsanctioned attack on the Republic, [[Captain-General of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth|Captain-General]] [[Corinne Marik]] stationed the unit on [[Marik]] under the watch of the [[Second Marik Militia]] while simultaneously cutting off the Fortieth's supplies. Despite this, applications for the Fortieth Militia continued to flood in and Duke Stewart's direct support of the unit allowed it to persist through the Captain-General's sanctions.<ref name=FM:3085p82>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 82: "Fortieth Marik Militia"</ref>

The Fortieth was stationed on [[Gomeisa]] in [[2786]] and by [[2821]] they were on [[Elnath]].<ref name="FSWp138">''First Succession War'', p. 138: "Free Worlds League Military (FWLM)"</ref> The Fortieth was one of the regiments of the Marik Militia that took part in [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]]'s famous "path to [[Sarna]]" offensive in the opening stages of the First Succession War. Operating alongside the [[Thirty-ninth Marik Militia]], the Fortieth landed on [[Old Kentucky]] in May [[2787]], acting as the initial landing party of what was planned to be a large-scale invasion. Intelligence reports indicated that the [[Eighth Liao Lancers]] were in place as the local garrison, but the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth discovered that all the major military bases on the planet had been emptied, and that their only opponents consisted of small, conventional security forces.<ref name="FSWp55">''First Succession War'', p. 55: "Initial Victories"</ref> Following the easy capture of Old Kentucky, the Fortieth were redeployed in July 2787; operating alongside another regiment and escorted by three [[Free Worlds League Navy]] [[WarShip]]s, the Fortieth landed on [[Chamdo]]. The security forces on Chamdo had abandoned the planet, and the local government panicked when the [[FWLM]] forces landed, surrendering immediately amidst frantic negotiations for leniency from the invading forces.<ref name="FSWp55A">''First Succession War'', pp. 55–56: "Corey and Wazan"</ref> From Chamdo, the Fortieth was redeployed to [[Wazan]] in September 2787, after the [[22nd Marik Militia|Twenty-second]] and [[Thirty-seventh Marik Militia]]s found themselves struggling to maintain control of the system in the face of determined resistance from the Eighth Liao Lancers, significant numbers of whom had survived a hellish battle at the industrial city of Asuwayda and dispersed into the local resistance cells. It took until November for the combined Militia regiments to quash the bulk of the resistance cells and effectively wipe out the Lancers.<ref name="FSWp55A"/> The Fortieth were preparing to redeploy again when the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched dramatic ambushes at both Corey and Wazan; a Capellan naval task force led by the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class [[battlecruiser]] [[Zulfiqar|CCS ''Zulfiqar'']] jumped into the system and engaged the FWLN task force escorting the Militia regiments. The ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class battleship [[FWLS Ragusa|FWLS ''Ragusa'']] was destroyed, as were her escorts, the ''[[Lola]]''-class [[destroyer]]s [[Minsck|FWLS ''Minsck'']] and [[Warsaw (Individual Lola I-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Warsaw'']], although they did manage to cripple the Capellan destroyer [[Khalzan|CCS ''Khalzan'']]. Trapped on Wazan, and unaware that the [[Maskirovka]] had cracked the current FWLM ciphers, the Fortieth and the other regiments on Wazan requested additional naval support and instructions.<ref name="FSWp55A"/> The Fortieth would be stuck under the Capellan naval blockade of Wazan for more than a year, as the [[New Delos Massacre]] and the subsequent atrocities at [[Calloway VI]] made the war between the League and the Confederation considerably nastier and more personal for all involved. It wasn't until the large-scale ground and naval battle at Calloway VI that cost the life of [[Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]] that the Capellan military strength in the region was eroded enough that the League could break the blockades at Corey and Wazan and free the Fortieth and the other pinned regiments up for further offensive actions against the Confederation.<ref name="FSWp60">''First Succession War'', p. 60: "Losing Ground"</ref> === Second Succession War === By [[2830]] the Fortieth had been rebuilt and were stationed on [[Castor]].
