While the addition of hardened veterans had made the '''Fourth Capellan Defense Force''' into one of the best combat regiments in the [[CCAF]], it has also made them imitate the former Legionnaires in other ways. ''Janshi'' of the unit have taken to modifying their uniforms however they please while their equipment is festooned with personal graffiti and nose-art.<ref name="FM:3085p29">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 29: "Capellan Defense Force"</ref> The Strategios had tried for decades to lessen ''The Miscreants'' drinking, fighting, loud music and destruction of property to no avail.

The Fourth was split into battalion sized units and stationed on several worlds taken from The Republic of the Sphere. The first battalion was stationed on [[Capolla]] and was quickly destroyed by Republic forces. By contrast the third battalion was stationed alongside [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]] and on [[Woodstock]] the units withstood an assault by a Republic force that outnumbered them four-to-one. − Finding both the [[First Capellan Defense Force|First]] and [[Second Capellan Defense Force]] at peak strength in [[3079]] with an abundance of extra equipment on [[Capella]], the Strategios decided to vastly expand the brigade by adding three new regiments. The 4th Capellan Defense Force was formed from one battalion of the 2nd CDF and two battalions of raw recruits. The unit was assembled quickly in [[3081]].<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − ===Jihad===+ After Marshigama's Legionnaires was destroyed as a unit, the company of survivors was transferred into the Fourth CDF.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 29</ref> − -[[3081]]- mid-[[3082]] - Immediately deployed upon formation to support [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]], the 4th Capellan Defense Force was divided into battalions and used to garrison worlds taken by other [[CCAF]] regiments. No significant combat occurred during this period.<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − - mid-3082 - The [[Republic Armed Forces]] counteroffensive called [[Operation VINDOLANDA]] found the 1st Battalion of the 4th CDF and [[Devon's Armored Infantry]] defending [[Capolla]] against the [[Second Republic Auxiliaries|Second]] and [[Eighth Republic Auxiliaries]]. While the inexperienced 1st Battalion fell apart under the pressure of combat,<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> the Armored Infantry decimated both Republic Auxiliaries before retreating off-planet.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 32</ref>+ Sometime prior to [[3145]] the Fourth engaged the [[8th Orloff Grenadiers]] and so badly hurt the [[FWLM]] unit that the [[LCCC]] was considering disbanding it.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 40</ref> − − - late-3082 - [[Woodstock]] was garrisoned by the 3rd Battalion of the 4th CDF and [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]]. The Legionnaires took a liking to the eager CDF battalion and spent the past months mentoring the fresh unit. These teachings paid off when three [[Republic Auxiliaries]] regiments invaded. Both units held off four times their number in brutal urban battles for several weeks before finally leaving the planet.<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − − - late-[[3084]] - The [[Third Principes Guards]] landed on [[Ningpo]] and fought against the 2nd Battalion of the 4th CDF. The outnumbered Capellan Defense Force Battalion was swept aside and lost not only the planet but their Commanding Officer as well.<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − − -[[3085]] - ''Sang-shao'' Elton Sneed was given command of the 4th Capellan Defense Force. Thirteen surviving members of Marshigama's Legionnaires were transferred into the Fourth two weeks later after being granted citizenship for the unit's actions against the Republic.
