Jihad
The Fourth Pesht Regulars held Pesht against the Word of Blake in 3069, driving the fanatics off the world in a month. This conflict reduced the unit's size, and the Quartermaster Corps was unable to provide enough replacements. The Fourth had only replaced approximately half their losses when the 29th Division and 42nd Shadow Division landed on the planet two years later. Though the Fourth was eventually destroyed to the last man, their skillful defense allowed the inhabitants to find safety in the planet's mine systems. These mines protected the civilians from the nuclear assault that destroyed the handful of surviving warriors from the Fourth.[3]
Officers
- 3025, The fourth is commanded by General Vladimir Krect.[4]
- 3050 to 3067, the Fourth is commanded by Tai-sa Stephan Somogyi.[5][6][7][8]
Tactics
The Fourth held to the traditional methods of fighting used by the DCMS until those methods failed them against the Clans. They are now racing to implement Theodore Kurita's reforms, using combined fire and C3-equipped units.[6]
