However, the war and the relentless grip of the [[The Curse (Valorèin)]] took a devastating toll:

* [[Tarek Zurlek|Tarek]] '''Merik's''' first in command was killed during their first major engagement. [[Tarek Zurlek|Tarek]] was killed by a plasma bolt that obliterated half of his head.

Line 80:

* [[Yoren Sokova|Yoren]] was ionized by a [[Plasma Weaponry|Plasma]] Explosion.

* [[Vorek Onoron|Vorek]] and [[Kèra Jel'lek|Kèra]] died in each others arms after being shot through the heart by a volley of gunfire.

* '''Delkar's Rampancy:''' [[Delkar Pavarii|Delkar]] was a quarter [[Tèran]], three quarters [[Valorèin]]. This somehow weakened his resistance to [[The Curse (Valorèin)|the Curse]]. He had recently confessed his love for [[~~Eliita~~ Terlek Pavarii|~~Eliita~~]] and was to be discharged within a [[Lethurèan Calendar|Lethurèan Week]]. However, a tragic turn of events occurred an Delkar became [[Rampancy|Rampant]]. [[~~Eliita~~ Terlek Pavarii|~~Eliita~~]], [[Delkar Pavarii|Delkar]], and '''Merik''' were the only surviving members of '''Merik's''' original squadron. Well [[Delkar Pavarii|Delkar]] became [[Rampancy|Rampant]] he turned into a Vampiric, Zombie-like creature. '''Merik''' was forced to run him through with [[Malis Íkodus]]. '''Merik''' lived [[Lethurèan Calendar|years]] believing he had been forced to slay his subordinate and friend. He left [[~~Eliita~~ Terlek Pavarii|~~Eliita~~]] to grieve while returning to the [[Shíkû Headquarters]]. She never returned, she was marked ''Missing-in-action.'' '''Merik''', however, was quite certain she committed [[Ritual Suicide (Valorèin)|''Ritual Suicide'']].

=== [[Slaughtering of Kaatok]] ===

Line 114:

* '''[[First Battle of Notalkor]]:''' This was '''Merik's''' first major engagement. He was deployed with his squadron to [[Notalkor]] a Temperate grassland world with three massive [[Mega Farm|Mega Farms]], all run by [[Teslek Mega-Farm Corporation]]. The engagement lasted half [[Lethurèan Calendar|Lethurèan Month]] or fifty days, with the [[First Battle of Notalkor]] lasting five days. Merik and his squadron were recalled after fifteen days when the [[Valorèin Royal Elite Corp]] and [[Valorèin Royal Marine Corp]] were able to properly deploy. [[Tarek Zurlek|Tarek]] perished within the last few hours of the battle.

* '''[[Battle of Kaatok]]:''' In this decisive confrontation, '''Merik's''' strategic brilliance turned the tide against overwhelming Malisik forces. Yet the victory came at an unimaginable cost—all but five warriors, leaving him the only warrior left standing. Surrounded by the bodies of his comrades and countless foes, Merik's spirit was nearly broken.

* '''[[Fortress Siege of Alinkar]]''': At a snow-covered fortress, Merik and 700 Valorèin warriors faced a Malisik ambush. '''Merik''' was knocked unconscious during the skirmish, when his [[Valorèin Command Armor|Command Armor]] was struck by a [[Fusion Weapon|Fusion]] Rocket. It melted to his chest leaving him with his iconic chest scar. [[Vorek Onoron|Vorek]] and [[Kèra Jel'lek|Kèra]] perished due to ''fatal'' injuries. [[Delkar Pavarii|Delkar]] and [[~~Eliita~~ Terlek Pavarii|~~Eliita~~]] saved '''Merik''', but were unable to heal [[Vorek Onoron|Vorek]] and [[Kèra Jel'lek|Kèra]] due to [[Wounded Heart (Lethurèa)|Wounded Hearts]].

The weight of these losses drove '''Merik''' to a dark place in his mind. He was released from service after the [[Battle of Kaatok]]—not because he was unfit, he had given the [[Free Species]] more than anyone could have ever asked.
