===Planetary Info===
 
−
There are two canonical sources offering contradictory information about Ruchbah that cannot be reconciled:
 
−
 
−
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>
 
−
 
−
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/>
 
−
 
−
The plains and tundra of this landmass make Ruchbah one of the most effective livestock producing planets in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=DARWp85/>
 
−
 
−
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>

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>

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/>

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.[1] 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.[53]

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.[1]

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.[54]

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.[1][44][55]

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.[56]

Star Colonel Ulan[57] led the Shiva Keshik[58] of the Spirit Cats in an operation to capture the Michaelson Heavy Industries plant on Ruchbah[57][58] at the end of June[59] 3133.[58][59] 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. 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.[58] 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.[60]

Military Deployment

Notes

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").[69]

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.[1]

The plains and tundra of this landmass make Ruchbah one of the most effective livestock producing planets in the Inner Sphere.[1]

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.[70]
