It was from the ''Albert Marik'' that Marion Marik was able to persuade the rulers of the worlds of [[Payvand]], [[Ruschegg]], and [[Scheuerheck]] to rejoin the [[Free Worlds League]]; all three worlds had defected to the Magistracy during the [[Third Andurien War]], and [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Albert Marik]] had been too preoccupied with the war and too respectful of the League tradition of free will to contest the defection. With the outbreak of war between the newly-formed [[Star League]] and the nations of the [[Periphery]], the three planets expected to be invaded by SLDF troops, and Marion's decision to entertain the rulers of all three worlds cordially in her quarters on the ''Albert Marik'' in orbit above Scheuerheck played a considerable part in persuading all three to petition for their respective worlds to be readmitted to the Free Worlds League, although the threat of replacing each with a military governor if they didn't cooperate also probably played a part.<ref name="H:RWp100"/>

In [[2763]], the ''Albert Marik'' was destroyed in an incident involving the [[Free Worlds League Navy]] and the SLDF [[7th Fleet (Star League)|Seventh Fleet]]. The incident—described by the SLDF as a tragic misunderstanding, but by Captain-General [[Kenyon Marik]] as SLDF negligence, the latter a view held by the general population of the Free Worlds League as well—was another source of tension between the Free Worlds League and the SLDF in an era marked by ill-feeling towards the SLDF in general amongst citizens of the Free Worlds League because of the SLDF's refusal to intervene in the destructive [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]].<ref name="FR:2765FWLMp4">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 4: "Goals of the State"</ref> The brief battle between the FWLN [[2nd Fleet (Free Worlds League)|Second Fleet]] and the SLDF Seventh Fleet was short, but the ''Albert Marik'' was destroyed in the opening salvoes and both the ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Olympic|FWLS ''Olympic'']] and the [[Hartford (Individual WarShip)|SLS ''Hartford'']] had to undergo dry dock repairs before being able to return to duty.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp20"/>
