	Rho underwent a significant rearmament program in the 3130s and was sent on the offensive in [[3144]] tasked with claiming a number of worlds that formerly been part of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], worlds that would form a corridor between the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] and the newly formed [[Vega Protectorate]].

The losses Rho took were so severe that it was left out of [[Operation REVIVAL]] and remained in [[Clan]] space as the Ghost Bears' Homeworld defense force.<ref name=FMWCp91>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 91, "Rho Galaxy Profile"</ref> [[Wolfnet]] intelligence indicated that at some point between the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] and [[3058]] the entire Galaxy had been redeployed to the Bears' Inner Sphere Occupation Zone.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 6</ref> === First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War === Rho Galaxy were actively involved in the [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War]], which began in [[3062]] with a suicidal attack by three [[regiment]]s of the [[Alshain Avengers]] against [[Alshain]]. Rho Galaxy battled forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] on both [[Caripare]] and [[Itabaiana]],<ref name="FM:Up61"/> fighting alongside forces from [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tau Galaxy]] on the latter.<ref name="FM:Up61T">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Tau Galaxy"</ref><ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> Moving back into the [[Ghost Bear Dominion|Dominion]] as the Ghost Bears responded to the [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Clan Hell's Horses#The_Invasion|invasion]] prompted by [[Khan]] [[Vladimir Ward]] of [[Clan Wolf]], elements of Rho were keen to see combat despite the Galaxy having taken a battering while fighting the Nova Cats. The warriors of the [[18th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|Eighteenth Battle Cluster]] actively sought an opportunity for revenge against the Horses because of the Eighteenth's defeat on Niles in 3048 and were rewarded with an opportunity to attack [[Engadin]], only to discover when they arrived that the Hell's Horses forces had already fled. To compensate Rho for the perceived loss of honor the [[283rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|283rd Battle Cluster]] was assigned to support the [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Rasalhague Bears]] in the capture of [[Rasalhague]] from Clan Wolf, one part of the punishment meted out against Clan Wolf by the Ghost Bears in retaliation for Khan Ward's engineering of the Hell's Horses invasion.<ref name="FM:Up61"/> === Jihad === ==== Luthien ==== In December [[3074]] Rho Galaxy swept onto [[Luthien]], the capital of the Draconis Combine, which had been locked in conflict between the [[Word of Blake]], loyalist forces and forces supporting the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' or [[Black Dragon Society]]. Hitting Luthien alongside Rho on the 15th were [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha]] and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxies]], and the Ghost Bears soon showed that they were intent on wiping out all Blakist forces.<ref name=JTPL7-Alpha>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Alpha Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL7-Omega>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Omega Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL7-Rho>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Rho Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL-11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 11, "Damnation"</ref> The Ghost Bear forces never once offered ''[[zellbrigen]]'' to any of the Word units and effectively eradicated the Word forces on Luthien by the 20th of December. Very few survivors from the Word of Blake managed to flee or become captives, and the Ghost Bear forces destroyed any DCMS forces that attempted to interfere in the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word.<ref name="JHS3076p55">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 55, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The Ghost Bear initial assault also claimed a [[WarShip]] from the Blakists' core fleet, the [[Vincent (WarShip class)|''Vincent Mk. 39'']]-class corvette [[Blade of Righteousness|WoBS ''Blade of Righteousness'']],<ref name="J:FRp128"/> and in early [[3075]] the Blakists lost another ship, the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Vision Quest (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|Vision Quest]]'', one of only three Clantech WarShips to have been captured by the Word of Blake during the Jihad.<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128, "Captured Ships"</ref> Rho Galaxy was the key to destroying the [[32nd Division (Word of Blake)|Thirty-second Division]]'s battle line although in the process Rho also ruined the [[Takashi Memorial Spaceport]].<ref name=JTPL-7>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Rho Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref> During their [[Second Battle of the Takashi Memorial Spaceport|attack]], Rho Galaxy simply dropped on top of the Thirty-second's positions, quickly destroying three quarters of the Blakist forces there, and spent the next few hours executing the remainder. Fires the intense combat created burned for four days after the conflict ended.<ref name=JTPL-11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 11, "Damnation"</ref> Also destroyed on Luthien by the Ghost Bears was the [[42nd Shadow Division|Forty-second Shadow Division]], the first instance of a [[Shadow Division]] being completely destroyed.<ref name="J:FRp125">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 125, "Shadow Divisions"</ref> Rho and the other Galaxies left Luthien at the end of January as suddenly as they had arrived, leaving the DCMS to frantically redeploy forces to fortify the world; the relief units began arriving two weeks later on the 14th of February, only to find no sign of any Blakist troops in the wake of the Ghost Bear withdrawal.<ref name="J:FRp53"/><ref name="JHS:Tp14">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 14, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> ==== Kaus Australis and Ascella ==== After the battles for Luthien and [[Pesht]] the Ghost Bears organized their forces to drive towards [[Terra]] in several waves, each named after the lead Galaxy in that wave. [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]] formed the heart of Beta wave, striking first at secondary worlds like [[Kaus Media]] and [[Ascella]]<ref name="FR:Cp9B"/> on the 6th of October 3075.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Rho<ref name="FR:Cp9R"/> and [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Theta Galaxies]]<ref name="FR:Cp9T">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Theta Galaxy"</ref> were assigned to support Beta Galaxy in Beta Wave, with Rho seizing [[Kaus Australis]] while Beta was striking at Kaus Media<ref name="JHS:Tp18"/><ref name="J:FRp54"/> before joining the assault on Ascella.<ref name="FR:Cp9R">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Rho Galaxy"</ref> Rho Galaxy was pushed into reserve on Ascella after the [[297th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|297th Battle Cluster]] was nearly destroyed, leaving Beta Galaxy and one of the units personally affiliated to [[Devlin Stone]], [[Stone's Lament]], to clear the planet.<ref name="FR:Cp9R"/> The losses on Ascella were such that Theta Galaxy was moved up from a garrison role to an active combat role within Beta Wave, only to see the Galaxy perform poorly when tasked with capturing [[Moore]]<ref name="FR:Cp9T"/> in July [[3076]]<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> and [[Pike IV]]<ref name="FR:Cp9T"/> in September 3076.<ref name="JHS:Tp22"/><ref name="J:FRp56"/> ==== Dieron ==== In [[3077]], Rho Galaxy traveled to [[Dieron]] and served as the main reserve force for the Ghost Bears,<ref name=JTPD-7/> alongside Alpha,<ref name="FR:Cp9A">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Alpha Galaxy"</ref> Beta<ref name="FR:Cp9B">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Beta Galaxy"</ref> and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxies]].<ref name="FR:Cp9O">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Omega Galaxy"</ref> Arriving in [[3077]]<ref name="JTP:Dp5">''Jihad Turning Points: Dieron'', p. 5, Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)</ref> Rho saw little combat for the first month; their only opponent was the [[8th Dieron Regulars|Eighth Dieron Regulars]] which fought with the members of the Galaxy over [[Word of Blake]] prisoners. Shortly thereafter the Blakist [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Third Division]] attacked Rho Galaxy and killed most of their higher level commanders. Cast into confusion, Rho Galaxy counterattacked without any plan or coordination with other Ghost Bear or Combine units, which allowed the [[2nd Division (Word of Blake)|Second]] and Third Divisions to withdraw from Dieron.<ref name=JTPD-7>''Jihad Turning Points: Dieron'', p. 7, "Rho Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref> Dieron was a bloodbath for all the Ghost Bear Galaxies involved; Beta smashed through the Blakist blockade in the system and took over the city of Olivet,<ref name="JTP:Dp5"/> but lost the [[304th Assault (Clan Ghost Bear)|304th Assault Cluster]] in the battle fought in the Chiloe Pass and had to disband the [[12th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twelfth Bear Chevaliers]] after they were gutted by Blakist forces in the tunnels within Fortress Dieron.<ref name="FR:Cp9B"/> Rho Galaxy suffered heavy enough combat losses that it had to be tasked with securing the outer areas rather than joining the Fortress Dieron assault, and the badly damaged 297th Battle Cluster was destroyed during constant raids by Blakist forces.<ref name="FR:Cp9R"/> Omega Galaxy took even heavier damage than Rho, such that the surviving Clusters from the Galaxy were actually absorbed into Beta Galaxy for the remainder of the Jihad.<ref name="FR:Cp9O"/> === The Dark Age === While in the Clan Homeworlds Rho Galaxy had filled the role of an enforcer Galaxy for the Ghost Bears, at least in part; in the immediate aftermath of the Jihad Rho returned to that role; rebuilding slowly and lacking access to replacement [[OmniMech]]s didn't stop Rho from sitting close to the border with the Combine's Buckminster Prefecture and daring the [[Ghost Bear Dominion|Dominion's]] enemies to attack.

Rho swiftly annexed a number of worlds peacefully, but soon ran into forces from [[Clan Jade Falcon]], also intent on annexing worlds in the region. Rho was soon facing forces from the Falcons' [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]] on the worlds of [[Corridan IV]], [[Ganshoren]], [[Symington]] and [[Yed Posterior]].<ref name="FM:3145p162">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 162, "Rho Galaxy"</ref> Omega Galaxy had been rebuilt in line with the Mongol doctrine espoused by [[Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen]] and as such consisted of hordes of light forces; those forces were deployed against Rho Galaxy with reckless abandon, swarming single [[Star]]s with what seemed to be endless numbers. Rho Galaxy was notionally of equal strength to Omega Galaxy, but where Omega had light forces, Rho had heavy 'Mech [[Supernova]]s and kept its units in defensive positions, holding Omega at bay. It was only when it appeared likely that the Jade Falcons were mobilizing a second Galaxy, [[Vau Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]], to support Omega that the Dominion Council ordered Rho to withdraw, rather than run the risk of provoking a major war between the Falcons and the Dominion.<ref name="FM:3145p162"/> The order to withdraw left Rho frustrated, but proud of their prowess; reports of Rho's performance in combat became the standard text within the Dominion for dealing with units using Mongol tactics, giving Rho some solace. Elements of Rho were in action again in [[3145]], with the [[343rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|343rd Battle Cluster]] deploying in support of the [[3rd Vega Regulars|Third Vega Regulars]] on raids against the world of [[Shionoha]] - raids that intelligence agencies speculated were intended to encourage the defending units on [[Port Moseby]] to move away to support the forces on Shionoha. Adding weight to the idea that the Dominion was looking to annex Port Moseby for its new Lyran subjects was a probing raid on Port Moseby conducted by the [[300th Battle (Rasalhague Dominion)|300th Battle Cluster]] the previous year.<ref name="FM:3145p162"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Rho Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Kassandra Gurdel]]||[[3054]]<ref name=FMWCp91/> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Michael Hawkins]]||3054<ref name=JTPL-7/><ref name=JTPD-7/> |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Rho Galaxy (Ghost Bear Dominion)''' |- | Galaxy Commander||Michael Hawkins||[[3077]]<ref name="FM:Up77">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 77, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Priscila Vong]]||[[3085]]<ref name="FM:3085p127"/> |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Rho Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)''' |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Roy Jorgensson]]||[[3145]]-[[3152]]<ref name="FM:3145p172"/><ref name=DDp77>''Dominions Divided'', pp. 77-79</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Juanita Thastus]]||[[3152]]-<ref name="FM:3145p172"/><ref name=DDp77></ref> |- |} ===Other Officers=== * Galaxy Commander Priscila Vong's aide was [[Star Colonel]] [[Knut Bekker]].<ref name="FM:3085p127">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 127, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> * Galaxy Commander Roy Jorgensson's aide was Star Colonel [[Esther Gilmour]].<ref name="FM:3145p172">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 172, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> ==Tactics== Decades of garrison duty have allowed Rho Galaxy to specialize in defensive tactics, while the fact that it consists entirely of Battle [[Clusters]] gives it a strong backbone of medium-weight 'Mechs with maneuverability to flank and envelop an attacker before they reach their target.<ref name=FMWCp91/> ==Composition== ===3048=== * [[Kabrinski's Keshik (Clan Ghost Bear)|Kabrinski's Keshik]] * [[18th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|Eighteenth Battle Cluster]] * [[48th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|Forty-eighth Battle Cluster]] * [[243rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|243rd Battle Cluster]] * [[283rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|283rd Battle Cluster]] * [[297th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|297th Battle Cluster]] ===3061=== * Kabrinski's Keshik<ref name=FMWCp91/> * Eighteenth Battle Cluster<ref name=FMWCp91/> * 243rd Battle Cluster<ref name=FMWCp91/> * 283rd Battle Cluster<ref name=FMWCp91/> * 297th Battle Cluster<ref name=FMWCp91/> * [[300th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|300th Battle Cluster]]<ref name=FMWCp91/> === 3067 === * Trinary Galaxy Command<ref name="FM:Up77"/> * Eighteenth Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:Up77"/> * 243rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:Up77"/> * 283rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:Up77"/> * 297th Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:Up77"/> * 300th Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:Up77"/> === 3079 === * Trinary Galaxy Command<ref name="FR:Cp11">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 11, "Rho Galaxy"</ref> * Eighteenth Battle Cluster<ref name="FR:Cp11"/> * 243rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FR:Cp11"/> * 283rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FR:Cp11"/> * 300th Battle Cluster<ref name="FR:Cp11"/> === 3085 === * Trinary Galaxy Command<ref name="FM:3085p127"/> * 243rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3085p127"/> * 283rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3085p127"/> * 300th Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3085p127"/> === 3145 === * Trinary Galaxy Command<ref name="FM:3145p172"/> * 243rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3145p172"/> * 283rd Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3145p172"/> * 300th Battle Cluster<ref name="FM:3145p172"/> * [[343rd Battle Cluster (Rasalhague Dominion)|343rd Battle Cluster]]<ref name="FM:3145p172"/> <div class="gamerules"> ==Game Rules== *During the [[Battle of Luthien (3067)|Battle of Luthien]], the Galaxy's units enjoy a positive to-hit modifier against all non-BattleMech targets.
