History[edit]

The Fourth Federated Suns Lancers was formed as part of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns defensive rearmament program of 3132, where the Federated Suns Lancers were expanded into a full brigade.[1]

The Fourth fought on Tikonov in 3145, but withdrew after suffering heavy losses in the first battle though managing to destroy Burr's Black Cobras. They were pulled back all the way to Exeter and out of the fight in order to refit.[1]
