History

The First Marik Protectors were formed in 3079 after the dissolution of the Free Worlds League. Formerly the Tenth Marik Militia, the unit founded as a mercenary force that protected former League systems. They hired themselves out at low rates, allowing these independent systems to have protection they would otherwise lack. They retained the insignia of their former unit, and modified their name to reflect their new baseworld.[1] In 3085 they were based on Kendall.[2]

In 3087 the Protectors engaged the Green Ghosts on Stotzing.[3]

Increasing pressure on Kendall forced the unit to move to Kearny.[4] Despite having a single 'Mech battalion, the unit maintains a brigade of armor and a brigade of infantry. This allows the First to focus on the defensive tactics often needed by independent systems.[5]
