History[edit]

Originally assigned to Clan Jade Falcon's Zeta Galaxy, the 4th Falcon Striker was reassigned to Omega in 3059. The unit fought and decimated the Fifth Raven Auxiliaries on Lum, prior to its transfer to the Inner Sphere.[1]

Upon arrival in the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon, the unit attacked the planet Mkuranga and defeated two companies of the Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards. The target's poor showing negatively influenced the Fourth's perception of their Inner Sphere opponents.[1]

By 3067 the Fourth had been reassigned to Kappa Galaxy and was based on Waldorff and Alyina.[2]

The Fourth was deployed to Coventry in 3074 as part of the joint Clan Jade Falcon / Lyran Alliance task force that liberated the planet from the Word of Blake.[3]

As of 3145 the Fourth Striker Cluster was assigned to Omega Galaxy and posted to Fatima.[4]
