History
IV Legio was formed to act as a rapid-response force for the Marian Legions. The IV Legio contained more vehicles than any other BattleMech Legion. The Legion deployed two vehicles for every 'Mech. The 'Mechs were typically faster medium and heavy models. The need to coordinate these fast vehicles and and 'Mechs made the IV Legio one of the most coordinated of the Marian Legions.
Deployed to Trasjkis, the Legion drove the Left Arm of Thor from the world. Later they deployed to Trondheimal and encountered two battalions of light armor. These units inflicted heavy losses on the Legion before they were destroyed.[1]
During the Hegemony's invasion of the Circinus Federation the defenders were disguised as members of IV Legio.[2] The IV Legion actually spent most of the time of the Federation invasion pacifying worlds in the Illyrian district and fighting pirates.[3] The Legion was used to garrison Illyria, Trondheimal, and Reykavis.[4]
In the Jihad the IV Legion was used to pacify the Landfall system in 3079[5]. They had an important role keeping the retreat corridor open for other Legions to return to the Hegemony after raiding former Free Worlds League systems. They later returned to their previous garrison assignments by 3085. During the Bloody Tricentennial members of the Legion found several Blakist terrorists trying to poison Trondheimal's water supply. Thanks to the Legion's efforts, the terrorists were quickly killed and a massacre was avoided.[6]
Officers
As of 3064 the commanding officer was Principes Julie Gupton.[1]
As of 3067 the commanding officer was Prefect Chakra Sunkehl.[7]
As of 3085 the commanding officer was Prefect Albert DeVereaux.[8]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Prefect Ferdinand Hurley.[9]
Tactics
The IV Legio prefers to utilize hit-and-run maneuvers in striking logistical and weak points in order to bring down the enemy.[1] After their experience with putting down insurgents, they also became proficient in counter-insurgency operations.[3]
