Ichar IV is a Hive World located in the Ultima Segmentum, to the galactic north of Ultramar. It is a vital industrial centre for the region, producing supplies for many armies.
At the beginning of the Second Tyrannic War, it was infested with Genestealers, and was soon to be invaded by hive fleet Kraken. When it was, Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines was made supreme commander of the defences, and eventually with the combined support of the Ultramarines, Imperial Guard and Iyanden Eldar forces, they successfully destroyed the invasion and cleansed the planet of all Genestealers.
One of the Imperial Guard units was the 13th Penal Legion/Last Chancers. During the Last Chancers series, Kage makes many references to fighting the Tyranids here and how bitter the fighting cost the 13th Penal Legion a large amount of troops.
