Planetary History

Barcelona was a part of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic and was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth war.[1]

Clan Jade Falcon Invasion

Barcelona was one first worlds targeted in Clan Jade Falcon's first wave of Operation Revival. The world was defended by the 17th Skye Rangers and the Barcelona Militia when it was invaded in March 3050.

The Rangers were surprised by Jade Falcon invasion, initially fighting against the 9th Talon Cluster of the Gamma Galaxy. After over coming their initial shock, the Rangers retaliated against the Falcons from their defensive positions at Mariah's Pinnacle, Su Filla, and Vacuum Ridge. The Rangers' retaliation was enough to stop the Falcon's advance on the planet's industrial complexes and Star Colonel Devon Hazen was forced to call down his reserve force. The Falcon Guards help, broke defensive positions of the Rangers at the planetary capital. In the resulting onslaught the Falcons overcame the Ranger and militia positions and most of the defending units were destroyed with only a few managing to evacuate.[2]

In April 3052 the Federated Commonwealth sent Kommandant Adam Steiner to the world to liberate it from the Jade Falcons. Although Barcelona was only defended by Provisional Garrison Clusters the Falcons put up a serious fight; the Federated Commonwealth did eventually retake the world, but the fighting lasted for two weeks.[3]
