−	As of [[3059]], Rho Galaxy defended the anti-spinward section of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, including [[Black Earth]], [[Derf]], and [[Devin]]. The effects of the Refusal War and the Wolf "liberation" of large swaths of the region gave insurgents their chance at rebellion, further agitated by Lyran forces. The Galaxy was still rebuilding from the [[Battle of Coventry]], with only one fully operational Cluster, though was designated to return to front-line duty, replacing the disgraced [[Vau_Galaxy_(Clan_Jade_Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]] in the Jade Falcon ''touman''.<ref name="FMCC103">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 103</ref>	+	As of [[3059]], Rho Galaxy defended the anti-spinward section of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.

−	The front-line designation for the Galaxy was not realized, though, and Rho was used as a blooding Galaxy, similar to [[Omega_Galaxy_(Clan_Jade_Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]], throughout the [[FedCom_Civil_War#The_Jade_Falcon_Offensive|3064 Incursion]]. The process did not affect the Galaxy's offensive capabilities, as evidenced by the destruction of the mercenary [[Barber's Marauder IIs]] and strikes into Wolf-held territory. In 3067, the Galaxy was assigned to [[Cusset]], [[Rasalgethi]], with the 12th Falcon Regulars split between [[Biota]] and [[Bessarabia]], and the Eyrie Cluster assigned the jointly-Lyran held "live-fire training" world of [[Blair Atholl]].<ref name= FMU49>''Field Manual: Updates'', 49</ref>

	By the ending of the Rending, Rho was one of the older second line Galaxies within the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Jade Falcon ''touman'']] and one that [[Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen]] felt could be trusted with reasonably important goals.

−	It took time for Rho to begin moving, but when the Galaxy did move, it was to swiftly occupy the worlds of [[Laurent]] and [[Vulcan (system)|Vulcan]], providing a bridgehead to strike at the former Wolf capital world of [[Tamar]]. Their conquests were far from unchallenged, however; elements of [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Delta Galaxy]] landed on both worlds, intent on acquiring them for their clan.<ref name="FM:3145p157"/>	+	It took time for Rho to begin moving, but when the Galaxy did move, it was to swiftly occupy the worlds of [[Laurent]] and [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]], providing a bridgehead to strike at the former Wolf capital world of [[Tamar]].
