'''Marius Storland''' was the commanding officer of the [[3rd Freemen (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Freemen]] [[Cluster]] of the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]'s [[Taiga Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Taiga Galaxy]] and, later, commander of the [[First Drakøns (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Drakøns]].<ref name=FM3085p128/><ref name=WREp27/>

==History==
[[Star Colonel]] Storland, serving with the Third Freemen, was stationed on [[Susquehanna]] in 3085.<ref name=FM3085p128>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 128: "Clan Military Forces"</ref>
===Second Combine-Dominion War===
====First Battle of Labrea====
By the time of the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]], now-[[Galaxy Commander]] Storland was commander of [[Tundra Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Tundra Galaxy]]'s First Drakøns [[Cluster]]. Assigned to attack the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat]] holdings on [[Labrea]] and given command of the [[trueborn]] [[Fourth Bear Regulars]] in addition to his own [[freeborn]] soldiers, Storland's taskforce made planetfall on 18 January [[3099]]. The outnumbered [[Nova Cat Legers (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Legers]] attempted to rely on their [[Aerospace fighter|aerospace]] assets to harry Storland's numerically superior force but were forced into a direct assault against the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] troops on 27 January. Sending the Fourth Regulars to encircle the Legers, Storland's First Drakøns fought ferociously in an effort to exact vengeance for the demise of the [[Third Hussars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Hussars]] earlier in the conflict.<ref name=WREp27/>

By the time the Fourth Regulars began engaging the Legers, Storland's Drakøns had already destroyed or routed the Legers' troops. Without defenses, the Nova Cat holdings on Labrea were easy prey for the Dominion: the Cats' settlement near the capital of Las Cabreas was razed on 31 January with the planet's [[sibko|sibkos]] destroyed and genetic repositories seized the next day. The survivors of the Nova Cat Legers spread news of these acts throughout the [[Irece Prefecture]], making it clear to the Clan that the Dominion had their absolute destruction in mind.<ref name=WREp27/>

====Second Battle of Labrea====
On 12 October, Labrea was counterattacked by Clan Nova Cat's [[Purity Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|Purity Keshik]], [[189th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|189th Striker]] Cluster, [[Nova Cat Dragoons (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Dragoons]], and the survivors of the Nova Cat Legers. The Dominion's decision to keep its aerospace forces close to the planet allowed them to intercept and destroy the [[DropShip]] carrying the Legers, forcing Nova Cat commander [[saKhan of Clan Nova Cat|saKhan]] [[Heather Winters]] to risk her own DropShips in a fire support role. For the next month, Storland's Ghost Bears faced intermittent aerial attack from Nova Cat ships making quick jumps between the planet's surface and orbit in an effort to avoid being shot down. In one notable incident on 4 November, the [[Second Drakøns (Rasalhague Dominion)|Second Drakøns]] succeeded in downing the Cat DropShip ''[[Infrared Dream]]'', only for the ''Dream'''s commander to steer his dying vessel into the heart of their formation. The edge granted to the Nova Cats by their aggressive use of DropShips gradually began to win them the battle and with his freebirth units taking casualties at a heavier rate than the trueborn Fourth Bear Regulars, Storland elected to withdraw his forces to [[Caripare]] on 19 November.<ref name=WREp31>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 31: "The Dragon Strikes - Labrea"</ref>
