After the end of the [[ComStar War]], Captain-General [[Charles Marik (29th c.)|Charles Marik]] led a desperate defense of the Free Worlds League as both the Lyran Commonwealth and Capellan Confederation continued largely successful invasions that had begun while the League was under a communications interdiction. Charles' opponents in Parliament continued to starve the FWLM of supplies in an attempt to exert influence over Charles, who had been the focus of criticism for all of his opponents and those who objected to his war with ComStar for five years, even as both the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] drew ever-closer to Irian. Charles traveled to Irian in [[2841]] to gather his forces for a last stand, and his opponents found their support in Parliament crumbling in his absence. Two of Charles' closest allies in Parliament, [[Kendall Allison]] and [[Jonathan Humphreys]], began mustering support to take advantage of the increasing disarray among the Marik's opponents. An LCAF invasion force landed on Irian on 5 January [[2842]] even as Charles' supporters gained a majority in a vote to restore support and funding to the FWLM. Even as the military command began mustering troops and supplies for a counterattack, Charles and the commander of the [[First Fusiliers of Oriente]], [[Harlan Allison]], led an inspired defense against three times their own numbers for the better part of two months. Reinforcements arrived in late March, and after a month of hard-fought campaigning the LCAF troops were forced off Irian, without any of the important 'Mech factories on the planet suffering serious damage.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p34">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 34: "Driven To The Brink"</ref>

Although the defense of Irian was successful in [[2842]], it was presumably captured at a later date by the Lyran Commonwealth, as it was recaptured for the Free Worlds League by the [[Eridani Light Horse]] mercenary unit in [[2854]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p35">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 35: "Recovery and Stalemate"</ref>
