=== Clan Invasion ===
+
In May of [[3050]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] invaded Romulus as part of the Second Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]], sending the [[1st Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Striker Cluster]] to confront the Romulus Militia. Equipped with super-heavy [[combat vehicle]]s and heavy [[BattleMechs]] but lacking aerospace support the militia assumed defensive positions with the capital Romulus City. Despite the ferocity of their defense the militia was eventually destroyed, suffering 90% losses, and much of the city reduced to rubble.<ref name=JF38/>

=== The Jihad ===
+
Ongoing guerrilla resistance against the Clan occupation, at least in part attributed to the [[First Somerset Strikers]], eventually provoked Clan Jade Falcon into destroying the city of Remus City by means of an [[orbital bombardment]] as an object lesson, although they evacuated the city first.<ref name=1SSp20/> This action was barely noticed in the [[Inner Sphere]] in the face of a similar action by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] who however infamously killed hundreds of thousands when they destroyed the city of Edo on [[Turtle Bay]] around the same time (without bothering to evacuate the city first).
−
Romulus was conquered again during the [[Jihad]], when [[Clan Ice Hellion]] launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]] in early [[3071]]. Romulus was invaded by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Romulus and other worlds throughout July 3071.<ref name="JHS3076p16">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 16, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp49">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 49, "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref name="JHS3076p21">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 21, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp50">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 50, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

Planetary History[edit]

Star League Era[edit]

Apocryphal Content Starts

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

During the Star League era Romulus would be the home base of the 208th Striker Regiment.[39]

Apocryphal Content Ends

Clan Invasion[edit]

In May of 3050, Clan Jade Falcon invaded Romulus as part of the Second Wave of Operation REVIVAL, sending the First Falcon Striker Cluster to confront the Romulus Militia. Equipped with super-heavy combat vehicles and heavy BattleMechs but lacking aerospace support the militia assumed defensive positions with the capital Romulus City. Despite the ferocity of their defense the militia was eventually destroyed, suffering 90% losses, and much of the city reduced to rubble.[19]

Ongoing guerrilla resistance against the Clan occupation, at least in part attributed to the First Somerset Strikers, eventually provoked Clan Jade Falcon into destroying the city of Remus City by means of an orbital bombardment as an object lesson, although they evacuated the city first.[40] This action was barely noticed in the Inner Sphere in the face of a similar action by Clan Smoke Jaguar who however infamously killed hundreds of thousands when they destroyed the city of Edo on Turtle Bay around the same time (without bothering to evacuate the city first).

The Jihad[edit]

Romulus was conquered again during the Jihad, when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071. Romulus was invaded by the Ice Hellions between 7 and 28 June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Romulus and other worlds throughout July 3071.[26][27][29][30]
