History
Formation
The 4th Brigade is one of the most acticve units in the FWLM.[1] As the 3rd Fusiliers of Oriente were formed in 2581 to support the invasion of the Magistracy of Canopus, and as the 4th Brigade also fought in the invasion, it is likely that the 4th Brigade were formed at the same time.[2].
Reunification War
During the Reunification War, the 4th Fusiliers of Oriente and their sister regiments had become known as brigades, although they still operated at regiment strength; as a result, records of their deeds during the various campaigns of the war record the 4th Fusiliers as the 4th Fusiliers of Oriente Brigade. The 4th Brigade served as a part of the 1st Marik Auxiliary Corps commanded by General Ian Marik in support of the SLDF Task Force Canopus.[3][4][5]
Krimari
Following the destruction of the bulk of the Magistracy Navy at Thurrock in mid-2583 a bouyant SLDF targetted a number of worlds for conquest, picking up the pace of the Canopian war sharply as they capitalized on the inability of the MAF to redeploy units quickly. The minor Magistracy world of Krimari was one of these targets, notable largely for the presence of one of the elite Chasseurs á Cheval regiments on-world. Captain-General Marion Marik tasked the 59th Brigade with capturing the world and attempting to destroy the defending 4th Canopian Light Horse, and assigned the 3rd and 4th Fusiliers of Oriente Brigades to support the 59th in what would be the first campaign of the war for the 4th Brigade. Although the SLDF forces were unable to pin the 4th Light Horse down, they did force them off-world and quickly occupied Krimari.[5][6][7]
Canopus
In 2584 the invasion of Canopus IV itself was ordered, and landings began in early April; the defending Magistracy Armed Forces units put up a fierce resistance, and while the 4th Brigade didn't see heavy action in the first days unlike some of the other FWLM regiments involved in the attack, the 4th Brigade did by the end of the month-long campaign. The 4th Brigade fought alongside the other FWLM and SLDF regiments as the Magistracy defenders were pushed back to the capital city of Delphi and finally defeated, although the final day of the battle resembled a meatgrinder with forces on both sides taking heavy damage before the MAF lines were broken.[6] The battle for Canopus was the last major battle the 4th Brigade fought during the Reunification War.[5]
