===Planetary History===
 
====Early Years====
 
When first settled, the colony of Ruchbah had a homegrown military consisting of little more than horse-mounted cavalry troopers, which after easily defeated, allowed the neighboring Tikonov Union to take over the planet in [[2228]].<ref name=DARWp88/> With the Terran Alliance weakening, Ruchbah was one of several worlds captured by the Tikonov Union during this era; also conquered were the nearby worlds of [[Algol]], [[Mirach]], [[Rio]], and [[Tybalt]], all conquered prior to the formation of the Tikonov Grand Union in 2243.<ref name="HL(TCC)p20">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 20</ref>
 
  
Although part of the Tikonov Grand Union, Ruchbah chose to join the Terran Hegemony instead of the Capellan Confederation. 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====
+
== Planetary Info ==
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/>
+
There are two canonical sources offering contradictory information about Ruchbah that cannot be reconciled:
  
====The Jihad====
+
The [[BattleCorps]] 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>''Eclipse''</ref>
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====
+
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=DARWp85/>  
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>

The Shiva Keshik captured the plant first, and used it as a base from which to battle the Steel Wolves. The Wolves manage to briefly drive the Spirit Cats back long enough to make off with a significant amount of matériel, but the Shiva Keshik managed to recapture and hold the factories.<ref name="ED:DAp7"/> While the Steel Wolves were looking for resources, the Spirit Cats' assault on Ruchbah was an attempt to find the haven predicted in the visions of [[Kev Rosse]].<ref name="ED:DAp16">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 16: "Spirit Cats"</ref>

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>

=== Early Years ===
:- The unit was at 80% of full strength, with 81% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology.
+
When first settled, the colony of Ruchbah had a home-grown military consisting of little more than horse-mounted cavalry troopers, which after easily defeated, allowed the neighboring Tikonov Union to take over the planet in 2228.<ref name=DARWp85/> With the Terran Alliance weakening, Ruchbah was one of several worlds captured by the Tikonov Union during this era; also conquered were the nearby worlds of [[Algol]], [[Mirach]], [[Rio]] and [[Tybalt]], all conquered prior to the formation of the Tikonov Grand Union in 2243.<ref name="HL(TCC)p20">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 20</ref>
  
====3145====
+
Although part of the Tikonov Grand Union, Ruchbah chose to join the Terran Hegemony instead of the Capellan Confederation. 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=DARWp85/>
* [[First Liao Guards]]<ref name=FM3145p47>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 47: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3145"</ref>
 
:- Deployed across the [[Fletcher (CC)|Fletcher]] and Ruchbah systems, the unit was at 85% of full strength.
 
  
===Planetary Locations===
+
===Clan Invasion
* Bharat Ur<ref name=Ec3>''Eclipse'', ch. 3</ref>
+
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 [[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=DARWp85/><ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

A Steel Wolves force, led by Star Colonel Ulan, launched an attack on "Michaelson Industries" sometime in April or May of 3133.<ref>''A Silence In The Heavens'' p. 92</ref>  There are indications that this attack may have been a success but further details cannot be determined.<ref>''A Silence In The Heavens'' p. 94</ref>

==Notes==
+
== Military Deployment ==
{{note|geo}} There are two canonical sources offering contradictory information about Ruchbah that cannot be reconciled:
+
=== 3067 ===
 +
* [[3rd Davion Guards|Third Davion Guards]] [[RCT]]<ref name=FMU137>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 137, "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref>
  
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/>
+
=== 3085 ===
 +
* [[IV Principes Guards]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 186, "RAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref>
 +
:- At this point in time, the IV Principes was at 80% of full strength, with 81% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology.
  
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/>
+
== Industrial Centers ==
 +
* [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]].<ref>''Eclipse''</ref>  This company produced attack helicopters during the Jihad.  When it became part of the Republic it converted to civilian models.<ref>''Republic Worlds'' p. 88</ref>  In 3093 Michaelson Heavy Industries beganproducing the [[Bishop Transport VTOL]].<ref>''Technical Readout:  3150'' p. 110</ref>
