Overview[edit]
Barcelona was one of the first worlds targeted in Clan Jade Falcon's first wave of Operation Revival. The world was defended by the 17th Skye Rangers and the Barcelona Militia when it was invaded in March 3050.
The Rangers were surprised by the Jade Falcon invasion, initially fighting against the Third and 9th Talon Clusters of the Gamma Galaxy. After overcoming their initial shock, the Rangers retaliated against the Falcons from their defensive positions at Mariah's Pinnacle, Su Filla, and Vacuum Ridge. The Rangers' retaliation was enough to stop the Falcons' advance on the planet's industrial complexes and Star Colonel Devon Hazen was forced to call down his reserve force. The Falcon Guards helped by breaking through the defensive positions of the Rangers around the planetary capital. In the resulting onslaught the Falcons overcame the Ranger and militia positions and most of the defending units were destroyed with only a few managing to evacuate.[2]
