[[Colonel]] Hawkins and the Fifteenth Marik Militia were stranded on [[Berenson]] at the outbreak of [[Anton's Revolt]] due to the manipulations of [[Anton Marik]]. Loyal to [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik (30th c.)|Janos Marik]], Hawkins' Fifteenth Militia remained a target for the rebel forces and in late 3014 the [[Third Marik Militia]] and [[Fourth Ducal Guard]] arrived on Berenson to eliminate them. After months of isolation, Hawkins knew his troops were in poor shape and instead elected to delay the rebels with a series of fighting withdrawals. While this cost Hawkins a [[Battalion|battalion]] of troops, these tactics succeeded in buying enough time for the [[Thirty-first Marik Militia]] to arrive as reinforcements. Rather than risk losing one of his major military commands and the resulting morale blow, Anton Marik ordered the Third to retreat and left Hawkins' unit intact, if not whole.<ref name=HBWp26/>
