Overview[]
Galen Marsh was a member of the Earth Republic Army holding the rank of Colonel. Marsh knew that the E-Rep would not be able to get a foothold in the town so long as Amanda Rosewater remained Mayor, so he publicly backed Datak Tarr in the next mayoral election, feeling that he could manipulate him into turning Defiance over to the Earth Republic.
This plot succeeded and on the very day that Datak Tarr was announced as the new mayor, the Republic claimed jurisdiction over the town and the McCawley Mines. Tarr was furious to learn of this, feeling that the Earth Republic had betrayed him and had exercised greater control over the region than he was willing to allow. Marsh made it clear that Tarr was just a puppet and called him an "uppity little haint". Always one who demanded respect, Datak killed Colonel Marsh in his office.
