Nereides IV was colonised in Age of Strife by generation ships that had allegedly traveled over three millennia in the vastness of the void. Its people were short and hardy with pale skin and fair hair, likely because of the long generations in the darkness.

The world was claimed by the Imperium of Man during the Great Crusade by the 1422nd Explorator Fleet which claimed many other worlds of the Vigilius sector too.
