==History==
In August [[3028]], Randolph Thompson led the 13th Assault Regiment when it was assigned to attack the world of [[Marfik]] as part of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]].  He would later report on back to [[General]] [[Nondi Steiner]] on the failures of [[Hauptmann-Kommandant]] [[Kathleen Heany]] during the Marfik campaign.  Heany's refusal to follow the battle plan to chase down ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]] led to the loss of many soldier's lives from his unit on Marfik.<ref name=TFSWSVO40/><ref name=TFSWSVO40a/>
