The 4th Brigade served as a part of the [[1st Marik Auxiliary Corps]] commanded by [[General]] [[Ian Marik]] in support of the SLDF Task Force Canopus.<ref name="H:RWp95">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 95, "SLDF Task Force Canopus"</ref><ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149, "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref>+ {{Sectionstub}} − − ====Krimari==== − Following the destruction of the bulk of the Magistracy Navy at [[Thurrock]] in mid-[[2583]] a buoyant SLDF targeted a number of worlds for conquest, picking up the pace of the Canopian war sharply as they capitalized on the inability of the MAF to redeploy units quickly. The minor Magistracy world of [[Krimari]] was one of these targets, notable largely for the presence of one of the elite [[Chasseurs á Cheval]] regiments on-world. [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]] tasked the [[59th Brigade]] with capturing the world and attempting to destroy the defending [[4th Canopian Light Horse]], and assigned the 3rd and 4th Fusiliers of Oriente Brigades to support the 59th in what would be the first campaign of the war for the 4th Brigade. Although the SLDF forces were unable to pin the 4th Light Horse down, they did force them off-world and quickly occupied Krimari.<ref name="H:RWp149"/><ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 103, "Endgame (2583-2584)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref> − − ====Canopus==== − In [[2584]] the invasion of [[Canopus IV]] itself was ordered, and landings began in early April; the defending [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] units put up a fierce resistance, and while the 4th Brigade didn't see heavy action in the first days unlike some of the other FWLM regiments involved in the attack, the 4th Brigade did by the end of the month-long campaign. The 4th Brigade fought alongside the other FWLM and SLDF regiments as the Magistracy defenders were pushed back to the capital city of Delphi and finally defeated, although the final day of the battle resembled a meat grinder with forces on both sides taking heavy damage before the MAF lines were broken.<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 103-105, "Canopus (March-April 2584)"</ref> The battle for Canopus was the last major battle the 4th Brigade fought during the Reunification War.<ref name="H:RWp149"/> − ===Anton's Revolt=== + ===4th Succession War=== {{Sectionstub}} {{Sectionstub}} − − ===Third Succession War=== − The commanding officer was a close ally to [[Duncan Marik]] and engaged in a plot against [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]]. [[SAFE]] was placed in command of the unit, and many members were cashiered. The heavy-handed nature of the dismissals angered many innocent parties however and led to dissatisfaction with the League.<ref name=FMFWL78/> − In 3025, a reinforced battalion of the Fusiliers, led by Colonel [[Eva Hansi]] launched an attack on the lyran frontier world of [[Dixie]], after a SAFE agent on planet had learned the discovery, on planet, of an SLDF [[Castle Brian]].<ref>''First Strike'' ''The heart of Dixie'' p. 50</ref> − But their mission was a disaster: the planetary militia leader, Colonel [[Fritz Volger]], managed to attract the Fusiliers to a wrong location, and despite being his forces outnumbered (the Castle's contents were ruined) after keep harassing them, stopping their advance with trenches and incendiary traps, delaying them until lyran reinforcements arrived. The Fusiliers retreat, but had to leave behind a full company who was forced to surrender.<ref>''First Strike'' ''The heart of Dixie'' p. 174</ref><ref>''The Heart of Dixie''</ref> ===Andurien Secession=== ===Andurien Secession=== − The unit was returned to [[LCCC]] command in [[3031]]. When Duncan Marik nominated himself as the new Captain General, Colonel Andrea Graham supported him wholeheartedly. After Duncan's death, a military tribunal found her guilty with six other high-ranking officers to build a conspiracy network against the FWLM. Colonel Graham and her fellow traitors were killed by firing squad. SAFE investigated the unit again, but found nothing treasonous, only some officers who had exercised poor judgement.<ref name=FMFWL78/> + The Commanding Officer was a close ally to [[Duncan Marik]] and his loyality was the reason for is death in front of an fireing squad.

The Blakists used nuclear weapons to destroy the defending ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Essex#Named Vessels|FWLS ''Schrack'']] in the Ohrensen system before making a ground assault which badly damaged the [[1st Marik Militia]] and destroyed the planetary HPG.<ref name=J:FRp19>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 19, "Blakist Raids Savage Duchy Of Oriente"</ref>+ {{Sectionstub}} − − The [[Duchy of Oriente]] responded to the ongoing attack on Ohrensen by deploying reinforcements from the nearby [[Kyrkbacken]] and [[Suzano]] systems to the Ohrensen system a week later; these reinforcements included the 4th Fusiliers of Oriente among the ground forces, as well as naval support from the ''[[Zechetinu|Zechetinu II]]''-class corvettes [[Zechetinu#Named Vessels|FWLS ''Acari'']] and [[Zechetinu#Named Vessels|FWLS ''Kustarachnae'']]. The Blakist task force evidently destroyed the ''Kustarachnae'' as it attempted to cover both the ''Acari'' and the arriving 4th Fusiliers of Oriente; the ''Acari'' was then captured, and later used as a Trojan Horse for a later assault on the [[Oriente]] system.<ref name=J:FRp19/> − − While the result of the battle for Ohrensen on the 4th Fusiliers isn't recorded, it is known that the 4th Fusiliers were destroyed during the Jihad and hadn't been rebuilt by [[3081]].<ref name="FM3085p75">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 75, "Heroes Of A Shattered House"</ref> Given the damage inflicted on the 1st Marik Militia and the effective loss of the ''Schrack'', ''Acari'' and ''Kustarachnae'' at Ohrensen, it's likely that the 4th Fusiliers were destroyed in the same action. − − The Fourth Fusiliers were confirmed destroyed in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 10 - Doesn't list the Fourth as an active command.</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 75</ref> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ As of [[3059]] the Commanding Officer was [[Colonel]] Charleen Day.<ref name=FMFWL78/> − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 4th Fusiliers of Oriente''' − |- − | [[Colonel]]||[[Eve Hansi]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HMp108>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 108, "FWLM Deployment Table"</ref> − |- − | Colonel||[[Charleen Day]]||[[3041]] - [[3067]]<ref name=20YUp56>''20 Year Update'', p. 56, "FWLM Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FMFWL78/><ref name=fmu161>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 161</ref> − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − There is no listed specialties and tactics of the 4th Brigade.<ref name=FMFWL78/> + There is no listed specialities and tactics of the 4th Brigade.<ref name=FMFWL78/> ==Composition History== ==Composition History== − === 2765 === − '''Fourth Fusiliers of Oriente Brigade''' (Regiment/Elite/Fanatical)<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp14">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 14, "Fusiliers of Oriente"</ref> − :- At this point in time the Fourth Brigade was stationed on [[Semenyih]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp14"/> − === 2786 - 2821=== − '''4th Brigade ''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable) <ref name= FSSp138 >''First Succession War'', p. 138</ref> − : Note: At this point in time the light-weight unit was stationed on [[Semenyih]].
