History
Tracing its origins back to the Capellan Hegemony Armed Forces, the Fourth Capellan Chargers were amongst the premiere offensive formations of the Capellan Hegemony and, later, the Capellan Confederation. Maintaining the traditions and ideals of the Capellan state, the Fourth Chargers were active throughout the Age of War, with the cavaliers of the Third often being found in the midst of the thickest fighting during Capellan offensives, operating as a part of the armored core of the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces.[1]
The Capellan Chargers were one of the first Capellan brigades to receive BattleMechs, and while the Chargers were never the largest of brigades, the various regiments maintained high standards of excellence in combat and proper decorum. The Fourth Chargers were deactivated during the formation of the Star League Defense Force, with many of the personnel from the Fourth transferring into the service of the Star League where they served with distinction.[1]
Only two regiments of Chargers were maintained as active regiments during the early Star League era, but after the repeal of the Council Edict of 2650 by the Star League Council in 2752 the CCAF began expanding rapidly, and both the Fourth Chargers and a sister regiment, the Third Capellan Chargers, were reactivated.[1]
By 2765 more members of the Lorix Order were serving in the Capellan Chargers than in any other brigade within the CCAF, a reflection in part of the high standards demanded of the Chargers. The commanding officer of the Fourth, Colonel Erica Bagliani, took this a step further than any of the other regiments within the brigade; Bagliani, a Knight Commander of the Lorix order, made full membership of the Lorix Order a prerequisite for joining the ranks of the Fourth. That decision made the Fourth Chargers the single largest assmblage of Lorixian MechWarriors anywhere, with every member of the regiment a proven and skilled fighter when it came to one-on-one fights. Bagliani's decision also worked against the Fourth, however; despite the excellent performance of her soldiers when fighting as individuals, the regiment was hamstrung by a combination of the sense of personal honor each MechWarrior maintained and the inflated sense of bravado that went with it.[1]
Without active combat to test themselves in, the MechWarriors of the Fourth had begun taking to duelling, both within the Fourth and against other CCAF MechWarriors, as a means of letting off steam. Heavily indoctrinated with the brigade mythos of the apparent invincibility of the Capellan Chargers, the Fourth ran the risk that their attitudes could potentially become a critical flaw in combat.[1]
Dark Age
The Fourth Capellan Chargers were one of the units re-created by the Hidden Lion program. Under the command of Sang-shao Koros, the Fourth landed on Axton and captured a squadron of Corsair fighters from Wangker Aerospace. The unit hasn't grown as quickly as other commands because Sang-shao Koros has refused to accept personnel whose past doesn't reach her high standards.[2] The Fourth was stationed on Eom in 3145.[3]
Officers
The commanding officer of the Fourth in 2765 was Colonel Erica Bagliani.[1] In 3145 the commanding officer is Sang-shao Selena Koros.[3]
Tactics
2765
The MechWarriors of the Fourth were highly skilled at engaging opponents one-on-one.[1]
