The '''Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers''' can trace its origins back to the [[Age of War]] or earlier and the private military force raised by House Hasek to defend its mining and drilling concerns on New Syrtis. The [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] became the private guard and personal army of the Hasek family, with their star rising alongside that of the Hasek family and New Syrtis; the Syrtis Fusiliers expanded, and as time progressed the [[brigade]] became the official guard of New Syrtis and then the perhaps the most important military command within the [[Capellan March]] Principality of the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp18">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 18: "Syrtis Fusiliers"</ref>

The Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers and their sister regiment, the [[3rd Syrtis Fusiliers|Third]], were both founded on the same day; the two regiments were led by twin brothers from the Hasek family, with the Fourth being commanded by Jonathan Hasek and the Fourth by Jason Hasek. From the date of their founding to the height of the Star League, the two regiments maintained a tradition of never being posted more than 120 light years apart, and for centuries the two regiments would continue to actively train together.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/>

The Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers were rebuilt at some point after [[3085]] and served during the [[Victoria War]] of [[3104]]. During the invasion of [[Menke]] the Fourth sustained heavy losses at the hands of the [[Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Second]] and [[Third McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] before the [[Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] arrived to finish the virtual destruction of the unit. The few survivors joined the [[6th Ceti Hussars|Sixth Ceti Hussars]] in evading the pursuing Capellan troops in Menke's jungles. At the war's end the Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers were listed as destroyed.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'': the Fourth Syrtis does not appear on AFFS deployment table</ref><ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 50–51: "Menke"</ref><ref name=HWotREp65/>
