==History==
=== Operation REVIVAL ===
Operating as a part of [[Peregrine Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Peregrine Galaxy]] the '''Fourth Falcon Velites''' conquered two worlds during [[Operation REVIVAL]]. The first, attacked in May [[3050]], was [[Butler]], where they faced [[Winfield's Regiment]]. Winfield's Regiment was commanded by [[Leftenant General]] [[Davis Winfield]], who knew that his troops were outnumbered, and responded to the Velites' ''[[batchall]]'' by challenging [[Star Colonel]] [[Evak Mattlov]] to personal combat. The two met in battle on the Omega Plain on Butler, and Davis had the upper hand until his ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' lost its [[gyro]] and fell, knocking Davis unconscious. This prompted the rest of the Regiment to attack, and as Davis was unconscious, he was unable to command his enraged troops to cease fire. The Velites wiped out Winfield's Regiment, but took Davis as a [[bondsman]]; when Davis regained consciousness in a Jade Falcon hospital after the duel, he was saluted for his honor as a warrior by the Falcons.<ref name="CJFSBp38">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook", p. 38, "Butler"</ref> 

The second planet conquered by the Velites was [[Graus]], which they invaded in September 3050. Graus had no defending military units, as the population embraced a form of pacifism that ensured that the closest they had to a military was a paramilitary police force. When the Velites issued a ''batchall'' and were informed by the planetary government that they had no forces to bid in defense, the Velites were highly skeptical, but determined that this was the truth after they landed, and swiftly integrated Graus into the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.<ref name="CJFSBp42">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook", p. 42, "Graus"</ref>

===Post-Invasion===
The Fourth and the [[89th Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighty-ninth Striker]] [[Cluster]] were stationed on [[Graus]] in September [[3053]] when the [[4th Viper Guards (Clan Steel Viper)|Fourth Viper Guards]] and the [[400th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|400th Assault]] [[Cluster]] attacked in search of a [[Star League]] memory cache rumored to be hidden on the planet.<ref name="ICp90"/>

Because the defenders received a warning of the attack due to a similar push on [[Antares]], the Fourth Velites and Eighty-ninth Strikers were able to stretch the battle out for three days and nights before being forced off world, with heavy casualties on both sides.<ref name="ICp90"/>
