History

The Warren Capellan March Militia was stationed in the Warren PDZ of the Capellan March, which bordered the Taurian Concordat. Things along this border were tense, but mostly quiet until the Landmark Incident. A Federated Suns freighter misjumped into the Concordat, and the TDF responded by launching a series of raids against the Suns. This continued through 3055 when Thomas Calderon was removed from power. The raids inflicted considerable casualties on the Warren CMM.[1]

The FedCom Civil War wasn't kind to the Warren CMM. Their commander assaulted Panpour, but lost the conflict. Most of the soldiers were interned as prisoners of war, and the Allied forces used the unit's equipment to rebuild their own units. However, unlike many units, the Warren CMM didn't lose command cohesion, and after the Civil War ended they were rapidly returned to service.[2]

During the Jihad the Warren CMM faced off against many of the Taurian Concordat's invading forces. This combat dramatically reduced their effectiveness. The Warren CMM was reorganized into a Light Combat Team, like all the Federated Suns March Militia units in the post-Jihad era.[3]

With the formation of the Periphery March the Warren Capellan March Militia was redesignated the Warren Periphery March Militia. The troops, who had long had a problem with the leadership on New Syrtis, welcomed the new assignment. Their reduction in size to a Light Combat Team inspired some grumbling, but nothing serious. The unit was also very pleased with the success of Operation MATADOR.[4]

After the invasion of the Capellan March by the Capellan Confederation, the Warren Periphery March Militia was assigned to Kigamboni in the Capellan March. Prior to this assignment the unit hadn't deployed off of their homeworld (Brusett) for longer than six months. With their traditional poor treatment at the hands of the Capellan March Lords still in their minds, the members of the Warren PMM were very unhappy to be back at their mercy.[5]

Having been stationed back on Warren for a few years, the unit was surprised to get orders to pack up and redeploy to Firgrove. It was only after they arrived that they learned the horrible truth that the Word of Blake had returned and forces were being centralized at high value worlds. The 6th Periphery Guard welcomed their arrival.

Also, to their surprise, a large number of civilian Taurian Concordat vessels were in the system. When they touched down at the Firgrove spaceport, they were met by the command staff of the 6th and a roaring applause by Taurian refugees scattered around the spaceport. With a history of opposition to the Taurian Concordat they were unsure how to think about this situation.

Soon after the ground forces of both units began maneuvers in the field to get acquainted with each other. It quickly became apparent that the 6th was lacking in skills for assaulting enemies in the field. On the flip side, the 6th's aerospace brigade began to teach the militia's aerospace a thing or two about navigating the shipyards and traffic.

All in all, the units have begun melding well where each can help the other. With so much activity in the system in regards to ship production both the 6th and the militia are expecting Firgrove to be targeted by the Word of Blake.[6]
