Reports published in late March [[3079]] indicate that the [[Ohrensen]] system was subjected to a raid by [[Word of Blake]] forces on the 6th of February, one of five worlds within the [[Duchy of Oriente]] to be raided in the space of a few weeks by a Blakist task force consisting of units from several divisions with [[WarShip]] support. 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>

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.
