Originally founded to protect the world of Canopus IV,<ref name="FM:Pp26"/> prior to the Reunification War the primary duty of the 4th Light Horse had been anti-terrorist operations, but that would soon change.<ref name="H:RWp100-101">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 100-101, "Eleusis, Obrenovac and Bethnolog (March 2579-January 2580)"</ref> ===Reunification War=== ====Royal Foxx==== The 4th Light Horse spent the first four years of the war between the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Star League]] as a part of the garrison on the Magistracy capital of [[Canopus IV]], before being deployed for their first large-scale combat action on the world of [[Royal Foxx]]. The 4th Light Horse fought alongside their sister regiment from the Chasseurs á Cheval, the [[1st Canopian Light Horse]], and at this point in the war the [[MAF]] was trying to preserve its strength as the campaign slowly tipped against them. The [[Star League Defense Force]] and their supporting auxiliary troops from the [[Free Worlds League Military]] had been stung and surprised by the MAF early in the war, and the SLDF task force commander had changed tactics in response, attacking worlds with overwhelming numbers of troops. As a result the two [[Chasseurs á Cheval]] regiments were heavily outnumbered on Royal Foxx by the invading SLDF troops, as an entire ad hoc [[division]] was thrown against them - the combined forces of the [[59th Brigade]] and the [[61st Royal Brigade|61st]] and [[62nd Royal Brigade|62nd Royal Brigades]]. The two Canopian regiments contested the invasion, but couldn't prevent it and were forced to retreat. Following the retreat from Royal Foxx, the 4th Light Horse were redeployed to the world of [[Megarez]].<ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp101">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 101, "Reversals (2582-2583)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref> ====Krimari==== [[Krimari]] was one of a small number of worlds settled in the handful of years between the end of the [[Age of War]] and the beginning of the SLDF campaign against the Magistracy, and was initially unknown to the Star League forces. By [[2583]], the SLDF was aware of the existence of several previously hidden worlds, including Krimari, and troops were assigned to capture the planet as part of a wave of attacks following the catastrophic naval losses the MAF had taken at [[Tetski]]. Krimari was conquered quickly by [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]]' 59th Brigade supported by the [[3rd Fusiliers of Oriente|3rd]] and [[4th Fusiliers of Oriente|4th Brigades]] of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]] in late 2583, despite the 4th Light Horse contesting the invasion in the face of six to one odds against them.<ref name="H:RWp103">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 103, "Endgame (2583-2584)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref> ====Candiear==== The 4th was defending [[Candiear]] along with the [[2nd Canopian Light Horse]] and [[Buquoy's Bandits]] when the SLDF tasked more than a [[division]] of troops to invade the world in [[2585]], a year after the conquest of [[Canopus IV]]. The SLDF landed the [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]]' 56th Brigade, [[61st Royal Brigade]] and [[62nd Royal Brigade]] on Candiear along with the [[4th Marik Militia]], 2nd Oriente Hussars and [[3rd Regulan Hussars]] in support. The MAF troops contested the invasion but were forced to retreat.<ref name="H:RWp105">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 105, "Mopping Up (2584-2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp149"/><ref name="H:RWp151"/> ====Palladix==== The last battle of the Reunification War for the 4th Light Horse and their sister regiment the 1st Light Horse was on the world of [[Palladix]] in [[2586]]. Although the SLDF was largely mopping up isolated worlds that refused to surrender, the two Canopian regiments bitterly contested the conquest of Palladix; facing the VII Corps' [[55th Brigade]] with the [[Juggernaut (Free Worlds League)|Juggernaut regiment]] of the [[Stewart Dragoons]] in support, the two MAF regiments fought until they were effectively destroyed.<ref name="H:RWp105"/><ref name="H:RWp149"/><ref name="H:RWp151"/> ===Aftermath=== The 4th Canopian Light Horse was one of two regiments within the Chasseurs á Cheval to be completely destroyed during the Reunification War.
