Many members of the '''Fourth Scorpion Cuirassiers''' are equipped with prosthetics to treat injuries they received in combat. These warriors are often shunned by other Scorpions, but have served well and with honor. They served as part of the [[Tokasha]] garrison force in [[3061]]<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164</ref> and were still in position in [[3067]].<ref name=FM:Up78>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 78: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref>

As part of Tau Galaxy they saw limited fighting in the [[Wars of Reaving]] remaining a defensive formation. It is likely that the [[Cluster]] was still on Tokasha when [[Clan Stone Lion]] moved against the Scorpion holdings in [[3079]], before being recalled to [[Roche]] by the [[Khan]]. From here Tau Galaxy moved to [[Waypoint 531]], before attacking [[Granada]], the capital of the [[Umayyad Caliphate]] in January [[3080]]. The world was captured within a week, but it saw the death of [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Evelyn Buhallin]].<ref name="WoRp157-8">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 157–158: "Escorpión Imperio (Periphery Nation)"</ref>

The Fourth Scorpion Cuirassiers took part in the [[Scorpion Empire]]'s conquest of the [[Hanseatic League]], seeing action in the brutal fighting on [[Kampen]]. With the fanatical [[Hanseatic Defense Force]]'s [[Regional Defense Force 7]] succeeding in pushing the Fourth and the other Clusters of Tau Galaxy all the way back to their [[DropShip]]s, warriors such as [[Star Captain]] [[Josey Myers]] successfully held back the attacking Hansa 'Mechs in a rear-guard action. Despite piloting damaged 'Mechs, elements of the Fourth like Josey Myers would later also participate in the [[combat drop]] into the city of Utrecht.<ref name=RGiCV20p13>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 20'', p. 13: "Warhawk (Masakari)"</ref>
