−	Unfortunately for the Capellans, the battle for Calloway was a disaster. Unlike the earlier action at New Delos, the [[Maskirovka]] didn't have cracked Free Worlds League codes to supply to the CCAF, so the Task Force was going in blind; the Task Force had also been betrayed by a traitor within the naval fleet, who had been sickened by the massacre on New Delos and who passed word of the impending attack to League agents at [[Propus]] while the task force was being assembled. Also working against the fleet was the presence of Barbara Liao, who was able to order the Task Force to continue the attack against the advice of her subcommanders when things began going wrong, and whose very presence sapped resources away from the main Task Force because of the need to keep her safe—something that began almost immediately.<ref name="FSWp58"/>	+	Unfortunately for the Capellans, the battle for Calloway was a disaster.

−	When the Task Force jumped into the Calloway system, it found the [[First Oriente Provincial Squadron]] waiting for it at the zenith [[jump point]], while waiting on Calloway VI were four provincial regiments—the [[First Fusiliers of Oriente]], the [[3rd Oriente Hussars|Third]] and [[Eighth Oriente Hussars]] and the [[Helm Cuirassiers]]—complete with an attached group of attack DropShips and a number of [[Wing (Formation)|wings]] of aerospace fighters. The First Oriente Provincial Squadron didn't waste any time attacking, but despite being outnumbered, deliberately did everything they could to target transport ships, rather than escorts. By the time the four ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class battleships and the four ''[[League (WarShip class)|League II]]''-class destroyers had been destroyed, Task Force Devlin had lost a quarter of its transport JumpShips and more than a regiment each of aerospace fighters and 'Mechs. Wounded in the engagement was Barnabus Liao, whose ''[[Overlord]]''-class DropShip had been crippled in the battle.<ref name="FSWp58"/>	+	When the Task Force jumped into the Calloway system, it found the [[1st Oriente Provincial Squadron|First Oriente Provincial Squadron]] waiting for it at the zenith [[jump point]], while waiting on Calloway VI were four provincial regiments - the [[First Fusiliers of Oriente]], the [[3rd Oriente Hussars|Third]] and [[Eighth Oriente Hussars]] and the [[Helm Cuirassiers]] - complete with an attached group of attack DropShips and a number of [[Wing (Formation)|wings]] of aerospace fighters.

Twelve hours out from the surface of Calloway VI League assault craft and fighter carrier DropShips were waiting, and swarms of League aerospace fighters threw themselves at the lighter Capellan fighters.

	The Capellan landings went ahead, with the Task Force mustering roughly five regiments of 'Mechs - a number almost equaled by the defenders, who had spent two weeks fortifying positions, creating redoubts and evacuating civilians from the major cities on the planet. For ten days the Capellan ground forces fought a war of attrition against the defenders, hampered by the need to protect the Chancellor; when Barbara Liao finally announced a withdrawal from the planet only a third of the Red Lancers remained to evacuate her, and Barnabus Liao was killed along with the other members of the Ares Titans while attempting to fall back. Even as the Capellan forces evacuated from Calloway VI, they learned that their transport JumpShips had been destroyed. The FWLN Third Fleet had jumped to Calloway a week into Task Force Devlin's two-week approach to the planet; arriving close enough to the transport JumpShips to engage immediately, the Third Fleet had destroyed all bar two of the JumpShips, along with their small WarShip escort, and were burning towards Calloway VI, determined to avenge New Delos.<ref name="FSWp58"/>		The Capellan landings went ahead, with the Task Force mustering roughly five regiments of 'Mechs - a number almost equaled by the defenders, who had spent two weeks fortifying positions, creating redoubts and evacuating civilians from the major cities on the planet.

Maintaining the traditions and ideals of the Capellan state, the Fourth Chargers were active throughout the [[Age of War]], with the cavaliers of the Third often being found in the midst of the thickest fighting during Capellan offensives, operating as a part of the armored core of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]].<ref name="FR:CC2765">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 9: "Capellan Chargers"</ref> The Capellan Chargers were one of the first Capellan brigades to receive [[BattleMech]]s, and while the Chargers were never the largest of brigades, the various regiments maintained high standards of excellence in combat and proper decorum. The Fourth Chargers were deactivated during the formation of the [[Star League Defense Force]], with many of the personnel from the Fourth transferring into the service of the [[Star League]] where they served with distinction.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/> Only two regiments of Chargers were maintained as active regiments during the early Star League era, but after the repeal of the [[Council Edict of 2650]] by the Star League Council in [[2752]] the CCAF began expanding rapidly, and both the Fourth Chargers and a sister regiment, the [[Third Capellan Chargers]], were reactivated.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/> By [[2765]] more members of the [[Lorix Order]] were serving in the Capellan Chargers than in any other brigade within the CCAF, a reflection in part of the high standards demanded of the Chargers. The commanding officer of the Fourth, [[Colonel]] [[Erica Bagliani]], took this a step further than any of the other regiments within the brigade; Bagliani, a Knight Commander of the Lorix order, made full membership of the Lorix Order a prerequisite for joining the ranks of the Fourth. That decision made the Fourth Chargers the single largest assemblage of Lorixian [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] anywhere, with every member of the regiment a proven and skilled fighter when it came to one-on-one fights. Bagliani's decision also worked against the Fourth, however; despite the excellent performance of her soldiers when fighting as individuals, the regiment was hamstrung by a combination of the sense of personal honor each MechWarrior maintained and the inflated sense of bravado that went with it.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/> Without active combat to test themselves in, the MechWarriors of the Fourth had begun taking to dueling, both within the Fourth and against other CCAF MechWarriors, as a means of letting off steam. Heavily indoctrinated with the brigade mythos of the apparent invincibility of the Capellan Chargers, the Fourth ran the risk that their attitudes could potentially become a critical flaw in combat.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/> ===First Succession War=== The Fourth Capellan Chargers were one of the regiments taken to [[Calloway VI]] in March [[2789]] in an attempt by [[Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]] to strike a decisive counterblow against the [[Free Worlds League]], which had been prosecuting a hugely successful campaign against the Confederation.
