Contents
History
Prior to the Liao-Marik Invasion of 3057, the Fourth's responsibilities included the Federated Commonwealth's Sarna and Capellan Marches, the St. Ives Compact and the Spinward portions of the Capellan Confederation.
Elements of the Fourth faced multiple Clans on Tukayyid, the bulk most notably assisting the First against Clan Ghost Bear, losing units both to combat losses and the Com Guards' reorganization in 3053. Four Divisions was deemed enough even in the face of increased Word of Blake activity in the wake of the formation of the so-called Chaos March.
However the Fourth Army returned to the six divisions of the pre-Clan Invasion Armies when Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion bolstered the amount of units in the hopes of preventing the Capellan-St. Ives War from escalating. While ultimately unsuccessful, the Fourth retained its extra troops to guard against aggression in the Chaos March, prevent mistreatment during the reintegration of the St. Ives and Liao Commonalities, and secure the ComStar funded expansion to the Ceres Metals Industries facility on Warlock.
