Overview[edit]
In March of 3050 Bone-Norman was targeted by Clan Jade Falcon forces as a part of their invasion of the Inner Sphere, Operation REVIVAL. The world was hit during the Jade Falcon's first wave of attacks. The 1st Regiment of the Grave Walkers was currently on world, and the FedCom's new early-warning satellite network notified the commander, Colonel Dennis Merwin, of the Jade Falcons' approach. The Clan's strategy was to decapitate resistance with a drop directly on the Red Stone Palace. Merwin ordered a fierce counterattack that devastated the Clan forces, but the Falcons were still able to break out and regroup. However, reinforcements were dispatched by the Jade Falcons, sealing the planet's fate. Bending to the reality of this mysterious invader's superior technology and skilled MechWarriors, Colonel Merwin warned the Bone-Norman planetary militia of the escalating situation, which sent them into hiding; this led to years of guerrilla warfare on the planet.[2][3]
