Choosing a world far from Terra and the oppressive bureaucracy that went with it, the first colonists left in the mid-[[twenty-third century]] and within sixty years had settled Rasalhague and eight other nearby worlds.<ref name="20YUp44"/> In the late twenty-third century these worlds created a joint government to oversee the development of the worlds, creating the Rasalhague Consortium. Contact with other interstellar nations led to the Consortium evolving into the short-lived Principality of Rasalhague, prior to the Principality being conquered by the Draconis Combine in the early to mid-[[twenty-fourth century]].<ref name="20YUp44">''20 Year Update'', p. 44: "Origins"</ref> In 2333 the Draconis Combine invasion of the Principality of Rasalhague was in full swing, with the Combine forces led by [[Urizen Kurita (24th c.)|Urizen Kurita]] leapfrogging from world to world in a relentless campaign. Much to the surprise of the citizens of the Principality, the Combine forces actually bypassed Rasalhague in 2333/[[2334]] despite it being the capital world of the Principality - instead, the Combine forces continued to annex worlds such as [[New Bergen]] instead.<ref name="HKp28A"/> ====Star League==== At some time during the [[Star League]] era, an armed group almost certainly in the employ of a Lyran corporation seized control of one of Rasalhague's [[recharge station|recharging stations]]. They were attempting to disrupt the exports of [[Draconis Combine]] products into the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. The [[168th BattleMech Division]] of the [[Star League Defense Force]] responded to this act by deploying a battalion of BattleMechs to the surface of the station. With the station's defenses unable to fire upon the [[SLDF]] machines, the attackers were able to secure the station with minimal loss of life and collateral damage.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 191: "168th BattleMech Division"</ref> ====Clan Invasion==== The planet was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] after the [[Battle of Rasalhague (3050)|Battle of Rasalhague]] in July 3050, with most of the fighting taking place in the national capital of Reykjavik. The Wolves, impressed with the Rasalhagians' devotion to their heritage, willingly assisted in rebuilding the heavily damaged capital, which became a fusion of Clan and Inner Sphere cultures.<ref name=WCSp35>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 35: "Rasalhague"</ref> <ref name=M&Mp112/> After a war with [[Clan Hell's Horses]] that had been instigated by the Wolves, and as part of efforts to further integrate its Clan and native Spheroid populations, the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] retaliated in [[3066]] by mounting its own invasion of Rasalhague. The planet was taken by a combined force of Ghost Bear warriors from [[Alpha Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Alpha Galaxy]] and Rasalhagian natives from the [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Rasalhague Bears]]. With the allocation of resources to improve Rasalhague's infrastructure, and the aid of [[Ragnar Magnusson|Ragnar]], the popular heir to the throne of Rasalhague, the Bears were able to win the planet's inhabitants over.<ref name=M&Mp112/> ====Jihad==== By the mid-3070s Rasalhague had been built up into a major shipping and manufacturing hub of the Dominion.<ref name=M&Mp112/> ===Military Deployment=== <div style="-moz-column-count:3; column-count:3;"> ====2764==== * [[168th BattleMech Division]]<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 256: "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref> ====2765==== * [[Second Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 17: "Regimental Status"</ref> * [[Twenty-fourth Rasalhague Regulars]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 16: "Rasalhague Regulars"</ref> ====2786==== * [[Seventh Rasalhague Regulars]]<ref name="FSWp137">''First Succession War'', p. 137: "First Succession War Deployment Table - DCMS"</ref> * Twenty-fourth Rasalhague Regulars<ref name="FSWp137"/> * [[Second Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]<ref name="FSWp137"/> ====2821==== * [[Second Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]<ref name="FSWp137"/> ====2830==== * [[Second Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 97: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery: Deployment Table"</ref> ====3025==== * [[Eighth Rasalhague Regulars]]<ref name=HK134>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 134: "Unit Deployment Table"</ref> ====3050==== * [[First Drakøns]]<ref name=20YU51>''20 Year Update'', p. 51: "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref> * Surviving elements of the [[Second Drakøns]] (one battalion's worth)<ref name=CWSB61>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 62: "Rasalhague"</ref><ref name=WCSp35/> * [[First Freemen]]<ref name=CWSB61 /> * [[Third Freemen]]<ref name=CWSB61 /> * [[Rasalhague Militia|Assorted Regiments from Rasalhague]]<ref name=CWSB61 /> * [[278th Division (ComStar)]]<ref name=20YU71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "Com Guards Deployment Table"</ref> ====3054==== * [[328th Assault Cluster (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault Cluster]]<ref name=ORp32>''Objective Raids'', p. 32</ref> ====3059==== * [[2nd Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|Second Wolf Lancers]]<ref name=FMCRC157>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 157: "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref> ====3085==== * [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Rasalhague Bears]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 127: "Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> ====3145==== * [[2nd Valkyrie (Clan Ghost Bear)|Second Valkyrie Cluster]]<ref name=FM:3145p172>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 172: "Clan Force Deployments - Rasalhague Dominion"</ref> * [[1st Kavalleri (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Kavalleri Cluster]]<ref name=FM:3145p173>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 173: "Clan Force Deployments - Rasalhague Dominion"</ref> </div> ===Geography=== {{ApocryphalContentStart}} In the ''[[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries]]'' [[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries/Rasalhague Missions|Rasalhague Missions]], Rasalhague is twice depicted as a lush canyon biome with good visibility.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', Rasalhague Missions</ref> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ===Planetary Locations=== * Hammerfest: Southern polar continent with blizzards and periods of perpetual night **Ymir: city and vital industrial center * Unnamed Continent: main continent of Rasalhague ** Asgard City: To be capital in 3050 ** Klaraven River: major river north of the city of Reykjavik north of the rugged forests overshadowed by the ** Jotunheimen Mountains: major mountain range to the south of the Klaraven River ** Reykjavik: Original capital of the planet *** Central Park: a large forested area with fountains and lakes in the middle of the city; destroyed in the fighting of 3050 *** Palace Hall, the government building located in Reykjavik, the capital city of Rasalhague.<ref name=HKDCp188/> *** Riksdag Complex: building for the legislative branch of the Rasalhague government * Ystad: Tropical continent with thick jungles **Tyr: city ***Firebase Tyr: a series of fortifications in and around the city of Tyr; an important battle site during the Clan Invasion ===Industrial Centers=== * [[Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises]] * [[Rasalhague Armor Works]] ===Companies=== [[Rasalhague News Net]] ===Sports Teams=== * [[Rasalhague Roar]]<ref name=DA:LNp19>''Dark Age: LinkNet Articles (3136)'', p. 19: "3135 Inner Sphere Football League Playoffs"</ref> ===Image gallery=== <gallery> Rasalhague.png|Rasalhague World Map </gallery> ==Map Gallery== <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> ==Nearby Systems== <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" !
