History
The Fourth Alliance Air Wing, stationed on the southern continent of Lushann, was charged with defending the planet and Lushann Industries Limited during the Jihad. It has been speculated that the unit's presence may have had a role in the Word of Blake leaving the planet largely unmolested.[1]
The unit was assigned to protect Lushann and its vital petrochemical industries at all costs. The Diamondbacks were split into their component regiments to garrison the systems near Lushann as well. Regiments from the Fourth could be found on Lushann, Sevon, and Calish II in 3067.[2]
Traditionally the Fourth was equipped with AeroSpace Fighters produced by the Federated Suns, unlike most of the Alliance Air Wings which used fighters built in the Draconis Combine.[3] After the 1st Alliance Air Wing upgraded their AeroSpace Fighters, the Fourth was equipped with additional Seydlitz fighters. Rather than simply replace the fighters, the Fourth used them to build the Second Regiment into a reinforced unit of thirty fighters in three squadrons of ten fighters apiece.[4]
