==History==
===Fourth Succession War===
The '''Galtor III Militia''' defended [[Galtor III]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Unfortunately, the unit fell victim to the Draconis Combine assault from [[First Amphigean Light Assault Group]]. Despite the militia being easily beaten, an extensive guerrilla resistance campaign began on Galtor III that would continue to dog the DCMS forces on the planet, even though the Combine officially considered the planet to have been annexed in early January [[3029]].<ref name=4SWMAV1p80>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 80, "Other Actions"</ref>

===War of 3039===
Galtor III had fallen to the [[Federated Suns]] in the First Wave of the [[War of 3039]]. Though the 'unofficial' War had officially ended in January [[3040]], bureaucracy and military confusion surrounding the end of hostilities continued. In late October 3040, an expeditionary force from the [[Third Benjamin Regulars]] returned to [[Galtor III]] from [[Irurzun]] to find the [[mercenary]] [[Clifton's Rangers]] following their last orders of assisting the people and dismantling the administrative structures built by the Combine since the capture of the planet in the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Both sides were stalemated with heavy losses until the Regulars were forced to retreat. Negotiations regarding the return of PoWs and the resistance to widening the conflict prompted the AFFS [[Armed_Forces_of_the_Federated_Suns#High_Command|High Command]] to order the Rangers off-world. Instead, the Rangers broke their contract with the [[Federated Suns]] to sign directly with the planetary government. In December, the Third Benajmain returned, along with the [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group|First]] and [[Second Amphigean Light Assault Group]]s to end the resistance. After fifteen months, Clifton's Rangers and the Milita were destroyed, tens of thousands of civilians were dead, and anti-Kurita propaganda was rampant. Marital law was required to keep the planet under control, an order that did not end for fifteen years.<ref name=H3039p100+>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 100–102, "The Last Battle"</ref>
