Piscina IV is a world controlled by the [[Imperium]] but in constant battle with the [[Orks]]. Each time the Orks seem to be defeated, the [[Imperial Guard]] regiments stationed on the world come under fire from a new place under siege. The Orks tend tended to shore up in old abandoned mine heads and dig themselves in until they attain attained sufficient numbers to overwhelm the Guard troops that are sent to cleanse the area.

Piscina IV was also the site of a great battle during the [[Third War for Armageddon]], where the site of [[Koth Ridge]] became an intense bloodbath between the Orks and many Dark Angels companies. [[Interrogator-Chaplain]] [[Boreas ]] was one of the key players in this battle^{{Fn|1}}, as was [[Veteran Sergeant]] [[Naaman]]. The Orks had set up a [[tellyporta]] system to bring more of their troops in from off-world, under the direction of the Warlords [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]] and [[Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub]]. Naaman was one of the Dark Angels whose lives were who was lost, but he and his [[Scout]] [[Company]] held off the Ork advance long enough for the [[Deathwing]] to arrive and disable the energy relays and destroy the tellyportas.

The keep's virus weapon failsafe had been activated, and was going to destroy all life on the planet. Boreas realized that the only way that they could keep the planet's population safe was to not break the air-tight seals of the keep's doors, therefore containing the virus inside until its eventual end. Nestor, having been charged with keeping the gene-seed safe, sought to leave and was killed by Boreas, using Hephaestus' [[plasma pistol]]. The rest of the [[Space Marines]] decided that ending their lives before the hunger or thirst of waiting to die pushed them to leave was the better idea, and detonated [[meltabombs]] clasped against their chest as they prayed to their [[Primarch]], [[Lion El'Jonson]].
