History
The cluster was reformed around 3010 by a former Clan Goliath Scorpion officer Vlad Dinour. His experience with combined arms operations was put to use by the Wolves. He was allowed to mould the Fourth Striker Cluster along Goliath Scorpion lines. With the success of this command it formed the basic pattern for the freebirth clusters of Epsilon Galaxy.[1]
Operation Revival
The first engagement for the Fourth can in March 3050 during the first wave when the Trinary Third Mixed Services attacked Outpost. The Outpost People's Militia fielded two infantry regiments and one of armor, but after losing an entire tank battalion in the Battle of Haparanda they surrendered.[2] In July 3050 the Command Trinary along with the Fourth and Fifth Mixed Services dropped on to Dawn.The defending First, Fourth and Sixth Dawn Planetary Guard Regiments were defeated within five days.[3]
In October 3050 Trinaries First, Fourth and Fifth Mixed Services assaulted the Moritz system. The defending Moritz Defense Brigade dug into the valleys and mountains around New Cotton, but lacking air support were soon dislodged and the planet forced to capitulate.[4] While the fighting on Moritz was taking place the Trinaries Second and Third Mixed Services attacked Skokie. The First and Second Skokie Tank Militia Regiments fled at first sight of the Wolves. Unfortunately for the invading Wolves their warriors were struck down by a local virus known as the Skokie Shivers, with out the local population tolerance to the disease almost two-thirds of the forces was struck down and the planet quarantined.[4]
Thannhausen was the target of the Fourth in November 3051. The First and Second Thannhausen Brigades dug in around the planet's industrial complexes denying the Wolves their prize until the Fourth managed to slip in strikes against command and control points undercover of a thunder storm, forcing the Brigades to surrender.[5] In December the Fourth formed up with the rest of Delta Galaxy for the assault on Shaula. Here they went up against the First Lyran Guards reinforced by militia. The general manoeuvrability of the Wolves plus their air support forced the defender to retreat off planet. [6] In February 3052 the Fourth easily overcame the First and Third Galuzzo Mechanized Brigades to capture the planet.[7]
Officers
Star Colonel Vlad Dinour was appointed commander around 3010. His descendant Charles Dinour was given command two months before the start of Operation Revival and commanded the Striker throughout the invasion.[8] He was succeeded in 3059 by Star Colonel Jiln Ch'in, who continued to command through to at least 3067.[9][10]
