Pike IV was occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]; forces from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]] acting in support of [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] allied coalition assaulted Pike IV in September [[3076]], one of three campaigns fought that month by the combined Clan forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> The Ghost Bears assigned [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Theta Galaxy]] to the attack; Theta was a primarily defensive [[Galaxy]] that had been moved into an offensive role due to the heavy damage other elements of Beta Wave took during an attack on [[Ascella]] the year before. Pike IV was the second attack to be launched by Theta, which had attacked Moore in July 3076; the attack on Moore had gone poorly, with Theta taking heavy casualties that could've been avoided, but the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the [[Seventh Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Phalanx]], which was lost after elements of the [[30th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Thirtieth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] refused to come to the assistance of the Seventh.<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9: "Theta Galaxy"</ref>

Pike IV was settled originally for its large amounts of mineral wealth. The scarcity of water and the high atmospheric pressure made colonization difficult, but the sheer amount of ore available made the effort worthwhile. The different conditions in the two main population bands has created a unique society divided into "highlanders" and "lowlanders." The "highlanders" founded their cities in the mountains of Blight and Erubis, the two northern continents. These mountains were lashed by frequent windstorms; to protect their cities the highlanders built thick walls around them. In contrast to the approach taken by the highlanders, the "lowlanders" settled in low-slung sealed buildings that let the less powerful windstorms flow over them. The two very different lifestyles led to an "us vs. them" mentality that led to symbolic fights between the two groups as each tried to maximize their resources. The supercontinent of Karasia, just south of Blight, stretches all the way to the southern pole and claims the majority of the planet's landmass, metal ores, and gemstones.<ref name=DARWp38/>
