History

The Regiment was part of the 12th Star Guards. It was one of the regiments created after the expansion from two regiments up to seven in the Second Succession War.[1]

In 2858 the Twelfth Star Guards made the ill-fated decision to accept a contract with the Draconis Combine. On-top of increasing losses of men and material, all the units of the Twelfth began to suffer at the hands of their new employer. Among those Star Guards to suffer the worst, the Fourth Regiment found the Combine repeatedly failed to pay them. After this situation dragged on for an entire year, the incensed RattFraggs had had enough, mutinying and breaking contract with the Combine in 2860 and leaving the Star Guards. The lack of payment of the RattFraggs and later destruction of Lescouflair's Landsknechts after they were abandoned by the Combine and destroyed by the Federated Suns would result in the entire Twelfth Star Guards breaking contract with the Combine to return to service with the Lyran Commonwealth in 2861, ending their association with House Kurita forever.[2][3] [4]
