In December 3073 the Fourth were stationed on the Lyran world of Bountiful Harvest along with the Second Wolf Strike Grenadiers[3] when the Word of Blake's Fiftieth Shadow Division raided the world. The Second Grenadiers and the Fourth Guardians put up a fierce resistance, forcing the Fiftieth Shadow Division to retreat after taking heavy losses.[4][5]

In 3079 the cluster was on the planet of Crimond.[3]

In 3085 the Fourth was stationed on Morningside and its status had been upgraded to a front line unit.[6]
