### Recent History

After [REDACTED] years stationed on [REDACTED], the 4th Terran was once again called to arms to defend against Tyranid Splinter Fleet Monolith on the world of Calypso with the 407th Dellund Imperial Guard, the 299th Lengorosh Imperial Guard, the Calypso Planetary Defense Force, and elements of the [REDACTED] Navy. Under the joint-command of Colonel [CLASSIFIED] and allied leaders, the splinter fleet was destroyed utterly and the 4th Terran was issued commendations by observing-Inquisitor [REDACTED].

The 4th Terran was quickly redeployed to other fronts -- such as the Siege of Blaklon, the Defense of Redendenfor, and the Purge of Carlsbad -- before being recalled to Holy Terra by High Inquisitor [REDACTED] to receive awards and draw new recruits from the capital's many Hives. The 4th Terran was ordered to the Ork-besieged Forge-World of Tellok after only four months of rest and with a multitude of undertrained guardsmen and unfilled ranks. Regardless, the 4th Terran helped local Skitarii forces push the Orks off the planet and gained the life-long respect of Magos [CLASSIFIED] and her subordinates.

The 4th Terran was later reassigned to Segmentum Tempestus for [REDACTED] years with brief stints to Segmentum Pacificus and Ultima Segmentum as well as frequent recruitment runs to Terra. Following such successes as the Battle of [REDACTED] and the Push for Ninadan, the regiment was temporarily assigned to assist the [REDACTED] Astartes Chapter with [REDACTED]. Captain [REDACTED] personally thanked the then-commanding Colonel [CLASSIFIED] for the regiment's aid.

In the year [REDACTED], the 4th Terran was assigned to the Feudal World of Takoshiba near the Damocles Gulf. Following Cardinal Esau Gurney of Brimlock's call for an Imperial Crusade, the regiment was assigned to fight in the Damocles Crusade where it received significant, but not unusual for the regiment, honors and was responsible for the destruction of an entire T'au detachment. Unfortunately, the 4th Terran later experienced conflicts with the Black Templars and the 19th Brimlock Dragoons Regiment and was resultantly assigned elsewhere in the Ultima Segmentum. After [REDACTED] years stationed on the Death World of Cerrolak, the 4th Terran was recalled to Terra.

After a meer two years on Holy Terra to replenish its forces, the 4th Terran was reassigned to Takoshiba to defend it against a small, but encroaching, Ork Waaagh. Following this, the 4th Terran was left to its own devices for [REDACTED] years and established a military base on Takoshiba's moon Tsuyama. Nothing of note happened during this time other than the brief opening of a Warp Portal on Tsuyama that was quickly countered and purged with assistance from Inquisitor Annulis Redford and his forces.

### Nova Terra Plain

The Nova Terra Plain, or the Nova Terra Wastes based on who is asked, is a large plain on [REDACTED] consisting only of moss and rocks.

Built in order to host the First Galactic Olympics as a coliseum, the Planet [REDACTED] was the first official base of operations for the 4th Terran on [REDACTED]. It housed a number of garages, barracks, storerooms, and even a Hive Tyrant Recaf Bar and a gift shop.

### Fortress Borealis

Following the nuclear devastation of the Planet [REDACTED] Stadium during the Decepticon War, the 4th Terran resettled itself on the northern part of the Nova Terra Plain to escape the nuclear winter left behind by the Tech-Priestess' bomb. Outpost Borealis, previously garrisoned by guardsman Squad Gloria, was expanded and fortified to provide sufficient refuge for the 4th Terran. It is noted to be significantly smaller than the Planet [REDACTED] Stadium.
