== History ==<br />
=== The Dark Age ===<br />
Added to the [[Filtvelt Citizen's Militia]] during the [[Dark Age]], the '''Fourth Filtvelt Citizen's Militia'''<ref name="FM:3145p197">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 197, "Filtvelt Coalition"</ref> - also known as the '''Fourth Filtvelt Defenders'''<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,37298.0.html Catalyst Game Labs: Ask The Writers, 14 February 2014, "Filtvelt Coalition Military - Jihad Hot Spots: 3076/Field Report: Periphery"]</ref> - had been assigned to the world of [[Mararn]] by the mid-thirty-second century, which would prove a challenge for the unit.<ref name="FM:3145p197"/><br />
<br />
[[Mararn]] was located in a tactically significant location, making it a natural entry point into the [[Filtvelt Coalition]] from the direction of the [[Calderon Protectorate]]. This made it a natural target for [[pirates]], despite Mararn itself being a dry, resource-poor world. In [[3145]] the Fourth was operating at a [[battalion]] level on Mararn; one battalion was assigned to protect the planetary capital, and a second was assigned to protect the water wells. All of the Fourth's infantry were being used as zero-gravity marines, assigned to the third battalion and posted on or near the recharge station at the nadir jump point; from there, they were responsible for attacking incoming pirate spacecraft.<ref name="FM:3145p197"/><br />
<br />
As of April [[3146]] the Fourth was reported to be coping with up to four pirate bands in its jurisdiction.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 19, "Piracy has reached 'unacceptable levels'"</ref><br />
