==History ==<br />
Formed in [[3101]] from elements of the [[9th Marik Militia|Ninth Marik Militia]], the '''Fifth Rim Commonality Guards''' was instrumental in facilitating [[Astrokaszy|Astrokaszy's]] incorporation into the [[Rim Commonality]]. The unit remained on [[Astrokaszy]] from at least [[3135]] to [[3145]].<ref name=FM3145p106/> <ref name="FM:3145p116"/> They were facing a pirate band that used a custom [[Uni#Variants|ATAE-70A ''ArtilleryMech'']] that was able to evade the forces as they lacked [[aerospace fighter]] support.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Caveat Emptor'', p. 7</ref><br />
<br />
When war broke out between the resurrected [[Free Worlds League]] and its neighbors in [[3146]], the Fifth was deployed against [[Magistracy of Canopus|Canopian]] invaders on [[Tellman's Mistake]]. There the fighting against the [[1st Canopian Brigade|First Canopian Brigade]] bogged down into stalemate before [[FWLM]] reinforcements arrived to repel the invasion force.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 20-21</ref><br />
<br />
In [[3150]] the Fifth was stationed on Astrokaszy when the [[Marian Hegemony]] invaded that world, proving unable to repulse the [[IV Legio]] elements that landed.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 88</ref><br />
