===Formation===
The '''Fourth Crucis Lancers''' was created from a core of members of a heavy [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]] from the [[Star League Defense Force]] that refused to follow [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s [[Exodus Fleet]].<ref name=TGCp44/>

===Galtor Campaign===
===Succession Wars===
+
During the [[Galtor Campaign]] the Fourth Lancers' arrival was the impetus for Warlord Yorioshi's withdrawal of the [[6th Benjamin Regulars]] and the [[17th Benjamin Regulars]]. The Fourth Lancers joined forces with the [[Bremond DMM]] to attack the command company of the [[5th Galedon Regulars]]. Though they destroyed ten of the twelve 'Mechs, Warlord Samsonov was able to escape.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 15</ref>
For the first fifty years of its life, every time the unit got one battalion outfitted, a crisis forced the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] to send the Fourth Crucis Lancers to war. The regiment led five successful assaults against the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name=TGCp44/>
 
 
 
The Fourth was among the AFFS defenders on [[Chesterton]] in June [[2828]] when that world was targeted as the key objective of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]]' [[Operation CELT]]. The Lancers' aerospace elements attacked the [[Seventh Tikonov Lancers]] as soon as they hit the ground, with the ground units joining the assault soon after. Their ferocity led the Capellan commander to utilize chemical weapons against the Lancers' infantry, prompting them to withdraw and forcing the 'Mechs to restrict themselves to harassments of the Capellan landing zone.<ref>''Second Succession War'', pp. 25–26</ref>
 
 
 
The Fourth, along the [[5th Crucis Lancers|Fifth]] and the [[Seventh Crucis Lancers]] were sent to defend [[New Aberdeen]] from a powerful Kurita push. During the battle, two Kurita Regiments isolated the Fourth and then started destroying the unit a piece at a time. The Fourth resisted for three weeks and lost half its forces until Davion reinforcements arrived to save the day.<ref name=TGCp44/>

During the [[Galtor Campaign]], the Fourth Lancers' arrival was the impetus for [[Warlord]] [[Syovo Yorioshi]]'s withdrawal of the [[Sixth Benjamin Regulars]] and the [[Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars]]. The Fourth Lancers joined forces with the [[Bremond DMM]] to attack the command company of the [[Fifth Galedon Regulars]]. Though they destroyed ten of the twelve 'Mechs, Warlord [[Grieg Samsonov]] was able to escape.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 15</ref>

===Fourth Succession War===
In the [[Fourth Succession War]], the Fourth Crucis Lancers attacked [[Tikonov]] with the other Crucis Lancer RCTs. After that attack, they moved on to take [[Tybalt]] and [[Basalt]].<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 11</ref> While on Basalt, they faced [[Warrior House Ijori]] and defeated them.<ref>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', p. 22</ref>

===Civil War===
The Fourth Crucis Lancers saw serious combat on their homeworld, [[Giausar]], facing the [[2nd Donegal Guards]]. The Fourth withdrew into the dense forests of Giausar and conducted hit and run raids. This pinned the 2nd Donegal to the world and prevented them from reinforcing other Loyalist units.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 101</ref> Soon the [[7th Donegal Guards]] reinforced the 2nd Donegal, and the pressure on the 4th Lancers increased. The Lancers shifted their focus, attacking the supply depots of the Donegal Guards as well as isolated units. This worked, but reduced the 4th's combat strength.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 130</ref> The [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[167th Division (ComStar)|167th Division]] left their post and landed on Giausar to reinforce the 4th Crucis Lancers.  Unfortunately the 7th Donegal killed most of their command structure before the 167th broke contact and linked up with the 4th Lancers. The 4th took command of the 167th's survivors. Soon after this, the 2nd Donegal lost their headquarters to a 4th Lancers strike.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 145</ref>

A few days later, [[Caesar Steiner]] arrived on Giausar and asked for a ceasefire between the combatant units. The Lancers and Guards honored this request. Caesar Steiner ordered the 7th Donegal back to their homeworld and assumed command of the 2nd Donegal. He took the 2nd Donegal to counter the [[Free Skye]] attacks. At the same time the remnants of the 167th Division were disowned by [[Gavin Dow]]; they were integrated into the 4th Crucis Lancers to rebuild the unit.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 146</ref>

In [[3085]] the Fourth left New Avalon, but before they left, the commander of the [[Davion Brigade of Guards]] recognized the Fourth as honorary members of the Brigade of Guards. They also received a new battle standard that showed the Fourth's logo superimposed over the logo of the Brigade of Guards.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 59</ref> The Fourth then deployed to [[Kittery]].<ref name=FM3085p69/> Though still understrength, the Fourth was equipped with brand new equipment.

===Dark Age===
The Fourth became a participant in the [[Victoria War]] when the devastating CCAF counterstrike into the [[Capellan March]] resulted in the Lancers being ordered to attack [[Denbar]]. While seeming to gain an easy victory over the defending [[2nd St. Ives Sentinels|Devon's Armored Infantry]], this was revealed to be a ruse when a Capellan counterattack on [[Kittery]] left the [[17th Avalon Hussars|Seventeenth Avalon Hussars]] requesting relief from the Fourth Lancers. The Lancers obliged, followed closely by Devon's Armored Infantry. Later the Fourth joined the Seventeenth in their retreat to [[Spica]], where they forestalled that world's conquest by the [[3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Third McCarron's Armored Cavalry]].<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 60</ref>

The Fourth participated in the [[Victoria War]] by launching from [[Kittery]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 52</ref>
  
They were present on [[Palmyra]] when the [[Draconis Combine]] invaded that world; in the subsequent defeat the Fourth Crucis Lancers were destroyed and struck from the AFFS rolls.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 30</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 76</ref>
