History
Early Years
The Fourth won its designation as a Wolf Guards Cluster sometime before 2952 by winning a Trial of Refusal against three Assault Clusters despite taking heavy losses. This battle overturned the ruling of the Grand Council of the Clans that Clan Smoke Jaguar and not Clan Wolf had discovered a mineral rich world.
Operation Revival
Because of the Clan practice bidding, the Fourth Wolf Guards rarely fought as a complete unit during the invasion.
The Fourth's first involvement in the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere took place on Icar in March 3050, where Supernovas First and Second defeated the Third Regiment of the Twelfth Star Guards and the Third Icar Armored Brigade.
The Fourth sat out the Second Wave, and returned to action in the Third Wave. In June 3050, Trinaries Assault and Rogue attacked Kirchbach. They used the local media to wage a psychological operations campaign against the defending Third Kavelleri and First Kirchbach Armored Regiment which succeeded in causing the defenders to panic and break when the two forces finally met in battle.
In July 3050, the Fourth Wolf Guards, along with the 279th Battle Cluster from Alpha Galaxy and the 352nd Assault Cluster from Beta Galaxy invaded Rasalhague. The Fourth was assigned to attack Asgard, the new capital city that was still under construction. This was part of Khan Ulric Kerensky's (ultimately successful) plan to manipulate Elected Prince Haakon Magnusson into fleeing the planet. Once the Elected Prince had escaped, and the other target cities had been taken, the 279th and the 352nd joined the Fourth in positions facing the capital of Reykjavik. After the defenders refused to surrender, the Clan Wolf forces assaulted the city on July 15. The battle was extremely brutal and lasted two days, but Clan Wolf emerged victorious.
After Rasalhague, the Fourth next entered battle in the Fourth Wave at Dell in September 3050, less Trinary Rogue, but partnered with the Golden Keshik, where they defeated the Twenty-fourth Arcturan Guards RCT in a battle notable for being one of the few instances during the invasion where the Clans used vibrabombs.
