−	==Notes==	+	== Map Gallery ==
−	{{note|geo}} There are two canonical sources offering contradictory information about Ruchbah that cannot be reconciled:
−
−	The short story ''[[Eclipse]]'', which is set on Ruchbah, establishes that [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]] is situated on the southern continent and that the planet has several moons (implicitly, at least three judging from one moon being described as the "smallest").<ref name=Eclipse/>
−
−	By contrast, Ruchbah is depicted as having one continent dotted with several inland seas in the ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]'' document. Michaelson Heavy Industries is shown on the shore of an inland sea on the northern hemisphere.<ref name=DARWp88/>
−
−	The plains and tundra of this landmass make Ruchbah one of the most effective livestock producing planets in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=DARWp88/>
−
−	BattleTech developer [[Ray Arrastia]] commented that the fiction (i.e. the description in ''Eclipse'') "is more likely correct" but clarified that there would not be a definitive answer until Ruchbah is revisited in an official canonical product.<ref>Answer given in [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=52905.0 this thread] in the "Ask the Writers" section of the official [[BattleTech Forum]]</ref>

During the [[First Succession War]] the Federated Suns took control of the world. For most of the next three hundred years, Ruchbah was a well-known backwater that provided animal products to the Federated Suns.<ref name=DARWp88/> ====Clan Invasion==== During the [[Clan Invasion]] military spending reached an all-time high. Michaelson Heavy Industries expanded their factories. As a result, during the [[Jihad]] when the [[Word of Blake]] tried to integrate the world into their Protectorate, they faced a constant low-level guerrilla war. The traditional horse-mounted cavalry units were augmented by the swift VTOLs of Michaelson Industries.<ref name=FMU137/> ====The Jihad==== The [[Word of Blake]] launched a wave of attacks during the first two weeks of July [[3069]] that targeted the worlds of [[Bharat]], [[Deneb Kaitos]], [[Ingress]], [[Kawich]] and Ruchbah. Ruchbah's armed forces were quickly overwhelmed during the conventional assault, but the population resisted incorporation into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], shifting from conventional warfare to a campaign of guerrilla resistance.<ref name=DARWp88/><ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref name=WoBJihadAssault>''Deneb Kaitos, Ruchbah Fall''</ref> ====Dark Age==== After the Jihad [[Clan Hell's Horses]] expatriates established their sole enclave in the [[Republic of the Sphere]] on Ruchbah's northern grasslands.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 115: "Dragan Fletcher"</ref> [[Star Colonel]] Ulan<ref name="ASitHp92>''A Silence in the Heavens'', pp. 92–94</ref> led the [[Shiva Keshik]]<ref name="ED:DAp7">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 7: "Important Military Actions of 3133"</ref> of the [[Spirit Cats]] in an operation to capture the Michaelson Heavy Industries plant on Ruchbah<ref name="ASitHp92/><ref name="ED:DAp7"/> at the end of June<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10: "Dark Age Timeline"</ref> [[3133]].<ref name="ED:DAp7"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> Ulan's forces arrived on Ruchbah as the same time as forces from the [[Steel Wolves]], leading to a battle for control of the factories.
