Overview
The Star League Defense Forces 4th Army was assigned to operations within the Federated Suns Military Region.[1]
History
The 4th Army had been active for some time prior to the Periphery Uprising; responsible for covering the rimward worlds of the Federated Suns and with the Army Headquarters located on Hobbs, the 4th had spent a lot of time hunting down bandits during the escalating campaign of tit-for-tat raids that made up much of the Third Hidden War.[2]
When the Periphery Uprising erupted in the wake of the New Vandenberg Uprising the 4th Army was deployed into the Taurian Concordat, the first troops to be sent into the Periphery from the Inner Sphere as reinforcements. This exacted a heavy toll on the 4th, which was reduced to almost half strength during the two-year campaign; XXXVII Corps took heavy damage, but particularly hard-hit was LXX Corps, which was effectively destroyed. In total, the 4th lost eleven Divisions and two Regiments, with three of the Divisions having been disbanded due to combat losses and the remaining forces destroyed on the battlefield.[2]
Officers
In 2765 the Commanding Officer of the 4th Army was General Tatjana Baptiste.[2]
