One of several [[Cluster]]s within the [[Clan Nova Cat]] [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Kappa Galaxy]], the '''Fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster''' was stationed on the planet [[Hoard]] in the [[Clan Homeworlds]] in May [[3060]] when a number of other [[Clan]]s began launching attacks on Nova Cat holdings across the Homeworlds. The attacks were in response to the [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjurement]] of the Nova Cats following their decision to join the [[Second Star League]], and were in defiance of the brief period allocated by the [[Clan Council]] in which the Nova Cats were supposed to be able to withdraw to the [[Inner Sphere]] unmolested.<ref name="POGp8">''Path of Glory'', p. 8-9</ref>

[[Galaxy Commander]] [[Tirill Nostra]] was on Hoard along with the Fourth, [[17th Provisional Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Seventeenth]] and [[49th Provisional Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster]]s when forces from a number of Clans began launching attacks on the Nova Cats, beginning with attacks by forces from [[Clan Star Adder]] on the 6th of May. The [[11th Armored Cavalry Squadron (Clan Star Adder)|Eleventh Armored Cavalry Squadron]] and the [[417th Adder Sentinels (Clan Star Adder)|417th Adder Sentinels]] began the attack, followed by forces from [[Clan Ice Hellion]] and then, two days later, forces from [[Clan Wolf]]. Forces from [[Clan Hell's Horses]] arrived at the same time as those from Clan Wolf, but didn't attack until the 13th. By the time Kappa Galaxy learned of what had happened the Fourth had taken heavy damage, the Seventeenth had nearly been destroyed and the Forty-ninth had been wiped out.<ref name="POGp8"/>

Nostra continued to have Kappa Galaxy defend against the various Clan forces so that as many of the Nova Cat civilian castes on Hoard could escape to the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Chronicle|NCS ''Chronicle'']], which was attached to Kappa Galaxy at the time, and which would subsequently ferry those who escaped back to the Nova Cat holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]]. The [[1st Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|First Wolf Lancers]] kept a dogged pursuit of the Fourth PGC up for several days as [[Star Colonel]] [[Bel]] led his Cluster on a determined defense. The Fourth had survived until the 13th largely because on the night of the 12th, the Ice Hellions' [[45th Striker Irregulars (Clan Ice Hellion)|Forty-fifth Striker Irregulars]] had chosen to attack the First Wolf Strikers - in fact, fratricidal attacks between the various Clan units opposing Kappa Galaxy was the main reason any elements of Kappa were still functioning by the 13th.<ref name="POGp8"/>

On the 13th the Star Adder [[York (WarShip class)|''York'']]-class destroyer [[Star Fire|CSA ''Star Fire'']] attacked the ''Chronicle'' above Hoard, only to be destroyed by the heavier [[WarShip]]. Even as the ''Star Fire'' was being destroyed, the Hell's Horses [[12th Mechanized Cavalry (Clan Hell's Horses)|Twelfth Mechanized Cavalry Cluster]] joined the attack on Kappa, being that the first time Hell's Horses had attacked since landing on Hoard.<ref name="POGp8"/> Ultimately the Fourth fell on Hoard to this avalanche of attacks from multiple Clans.<ref name=FMCS-124>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 124 "Clan Nova Cat - Zeta Provisional Galaxy"</ref>
