=====First Wave=====
 
After the first confirmed contact with the [[Clans]] and their returning forces in the [[Inner Sphere]], [[Cranston Snord]] would reveal the locations of abandoned [[Star League]] facilities that they he and the [[Snord's Irregulars]] had discovered over the years to [[Jaime Wolf]] and the [[Wolf's Dragoons]].  This was part of an effort to help strengthen the available defenses against the invaders.  As the front line edged deeper into the Federated Commonwealth with the Clan Jade Falcon advance, it neared the Dark Nebula.  Cranston and [[Jake Walmar]] remembered rumors, but no hard information, they had uncovered over the decades about a Star League naval base within the Dark Nebula.  They realized that if the facility actually existed it would make an excellent staging area to resist the Clan invaders.  In an effort to discover the location of the facility, Cranston would travel to well known Star League era archives on [[Derf]] and Wotan that contained ancient star charts and astrological data that may hold the location of the facility. While they did not find the information they were looking for, the data that was found led them to the location of an abandoned astrological survey station on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] where they may find the coordinates of the base within the Dark Nebula.<ref name=RI10>''Rhonda's Irregulars'', p. 10: "Invasion of the Clans"</ref>
 
 
=====Second Wave=====
 
 
In May of [[3050]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] [[Battle of Wotan (3050)|invaded]] Wotan as part of the Second Wave of [[Operation Revival]].  The entire [[Gyrfalcon Galaxy]] was sent to conquer the world, defended only by the [[Wotan Tamar March Militia]] and the surviving elements of the [[12th Star Guards]]' 1st and 2nd Regiments.  The Falcons attacked the Star Guards first, which responded by splitting their forces to conduct lightning raids against the invaders.  This effort was successful until a Jade Falcon aerospace fighter killed their commanding officer, [[Colonel]] [[Franklin Pierce-Marinetti]]; lacking effective coordination the scattered Star Guards units were wiped out.  When it came time to confront the militia forces, the Wotan Tamar March Militia put up such a lackluster effort that [[Khan]] [[Elias Crichell]] later referred to it not as a battle but an execution.<ref name=JFS39/>
