Dell IV - more commonly referred to simply as Dell - is the fourth planet in the Dell system and has two moons named Ai Kanaka and Lona.<ref name=O:TCp27/>

== Planetary History ==
In early September [[3050]] Dell was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] as part of the fourth wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. [[Khan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]] had a personal hand in the planet's conquest, leading his [[Golden Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Golden Keshik]] alongside most of the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|Fourth Wolf Guards]] minus [[Trinary]] ''Rogue'' against the [[Twenty-fourth Arcturan Guards]] [[RCT]].  The Twenty-fourth's commanding officer, [[Marshal]] [[Grace Shremp]], assumed that Clan Wolf would conduct a surgical strike at the heart of the planet's megacomplex of Cosmopolis and so constructed a strong line of fortifications.  These assumptions were proved incorrect when Khan Ulric Kerensky kept his forces just outside the defensive perimeter and instead skirmished with the Guards at Issel, Bainbridge and Cossin.  These attacks caused little material damage but were psychologically devastating.  The end came when Marshal Shremp made the decision to abandon the fortifications and meet the Wolves in Mercer Valley.  In one of the few instances during the invasion in which Clan forces used such weapons, the valley had been mined with [[Vibrabomb]]s.  These mines, in combination with interlocking fields of fire, produced a killing field from which very few Lyran Guards survived.<ref name="CWSBp62">''Clan Wolf Sourcebook'', p. 62</ref>
