Richmond

By 3062, Richmond was considered a "small" world, with the capital city of Newport containing the HPG, the principal spaceport and a quarter of the total population. Nestled within an evergreen forest, Newport is situated on the bank of the very large New James River which is 600 meters across at its widest point, and deep enough for oceangoing ships. Another mentioned land feature is the Derrington Plateau, apparently situated to the south.[34]

Richmond also housed an Interstellar Expeditions office in 3095. This office coordinated all Coreward operations.[35]

Planetary History[edit]

Succession Wars[edit]

In 2825, Richmond was home to an internment camp which was raided by the Minnesota Tribe. Although the tribe presumably couldn't know about the camp, the tribe took all of the prisoners off-world with them.[36]

Clan Invasion[edit]

During the Clan Invasion, the Smoke Jaguars launched an attack on Richmond using two Trinaries (Assault and Second Battle) of the Fifth Jaguar Regulars, Alpha Galaxy. Khan Lincoln Osis personally issued the batchall to the defending force, the First Alshain Regulars, and was answered with honor by their commanding officer Tai-sa Donald Ashira, who chose the rocky grounds of Crag Gorge as their appointed battlefield. Over the course of four days the defending Kurita soldiers fought with honor but, despite their superior numbers, could not overcome the Jaguars' superior technology. They made a final oath to never surrender and decided to make their final stand in Olderson Pass in the north wall of the gorge. In a brutal frontal assault the Smoke Jaguars overran the defenders' position and annihilated them, capturing less than five percent of the First Regulars as bondsmen.[37]

Operation BULLDOG and after[edit]

Richmond was invaded in the fourth wave of Operation BULLDOG by the Third Night Stalkers; the defending Clan Smoke Jaguar Forty-seventh Garrison Cluster had already retreated off-world by the time the invaders reached the planet.[38]

Even after its reintegration into the Combine Richmond's already-small population declined, along with the size of its militia.[30]

Second Combine-Dominion War[edit]

During the Second Combine-Dominion War Richmond was invaded by two Clusters of the Ghost Bear Dominion's Taiga Galaxy in mid-November 3100. Lacking any DCMS line regiments to oppose them, the planet surrendered just hours after the Dominion warriors made landfall.[30]
