Galtor Campaign
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.[1]
Fourth Succession War
In the Fourth Succession War the 4th Crucis Lancers attacked Tikonov with the other Crucis Lancer RCTs. After that attack, they moved on to take Tybalt and Basalt.[2]
