House Marik – Free Worlds League
In 2271 the Marik Commonwealth, Stewart Confederation, Principality of Regulus, the Federation of Oriente united to create the first Great House: the Free Worlds League sparked imperialism that spread throughout the Inner Sphere, eventually resulting in the establishment of six Great Houses.
While the forging of disparate fiefdoms into a whole remains the League’s greatest strength, it is also its Achilles heel, as internal conflicts have wracked the nation for centuries.
In 3079, those conflicts tore the League apart. The sundered provinces soldiered on alone for six decades, until an alliance of necessity and the unyielding will of Captain General Jessica Marik gave rise to a reborn nation from the ashes of the old.
Though the reforged League is still finding its legs, House Marik’s MechWarriros – like their current Captain-General, Nikol Marik – have a knack for bringing order out of chaos, an adaptability that instills in them the confidence to rise over any obstacle.
That confidence and adaptability results in a level of tactical experimentation not often seen in the other Houses, such as the use of aerospace assets in unusual roles, or the quick adoption of reemerging technologies and BattleMechs thought lost since the collapse of the Star League.
Riding on the wings of the Marik eagle, such versatility encapsulates the Free Worlds League motto “United We Stand.”
