History[edit]
The Fourth Federated Suns Lancers LCT were formed as part of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns defensive rearmament program of 3132, that led to the expansion of the Federated Suns Lancers into a full brigade.[1]
The Fourth Lancers fought on Barlow's Folly during Operation PELAYO in 3141 and on Tikonov in 3145, where they had to withdraw after suffering heavy casualties in the first battle while managing to destroy Burr's Black Cobras. They were pulled back to Exeter for rest and refit.[2][1]
