Formed after the collapse of the Republic of the Sphere, the Protectorate Coalition was one of the so-called proto-states created from the remains of former Free Worlds League worlds that had been ceded to the Republic.

Overview

Founded in 3136 as one of Thaddeus Marik's so-called Pocket Fortresses, the Protectorate Coalition consisted of the worlds of Kalidasa, New Hope, Alkes, and Rochelle.

After the fall of Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, the worlds began to receive refugees from the Marik-Stewart armed forces, including the entire Silver Hawk Irregulars, who based themselves on New Hope. By this time the Coalition was the only part of the former Silver Hawks Coalition to avoid occupation by the Lyran Commonwealth, Clan Wolf or Milton Combine.

By 3138 the Protectorate had entered into an alliance with the Covenant Worlds and sent militia forces in response to Thaddeus Marik's call for military assistance to aid the Oriente Protectorate's war against the Duchy of Andurien, joining the Covenant Worlds 1st Expeditionary Force by May of 3138. The Expeditionary Force's success in taking of Savannah and Remulac created a bridge between the two stellar nations.[2]

The Coalition's armed forces, including the Silver Hawks' third battalion, joined with the Covenant in sending forces as part of the unified Free Worlds League military campaign to take Atreus from the Regulan Fiefs in April of 3139. Representatives from the Coalition were later sent to attend the July 3rd swearing-in of the Captain-General Jessica Marik on Atreus.
