As of [[3059]], Rho Galaxy defended the anti-spinward section of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, including [[Black Earth]], [[Derf]], and [[Devin]]. The effects of the Refusal War and the Wolf "liberation" of large swaths of the region gave insurgents their chance at rebellion, further agitated by Lyran forces. The Galaxy was still rebuilding from the [[Battle of Coventry]], with only one fully operational Cluster, though was designated to return to front-line duty, replacing the disgraced [[Vau_Galaxy_(Clan_Jade_Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]] in the Jade Falcon ''touman''.<ref name="FMCC103">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 103</ref> The front-line designation for the Galaxy was not realized, though, and Rho was used as a blooding Galaxy, similar to [[Omega_Galaxy_(Clan_Jade_Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]], throughout the [[FedCom_Civil_War#The_Jade_Falcon_Offensive|3064 Incursion]]. The process did not affect the Galaxy's offensive capabilities, as evidenced by the destruction of the mercenary [[Barber's Marauder IIs]] and strikes into Wolf-held territory. In 3067, the Galaxy was assigned to [[Cusset]], [[Rasalgethi]], with the 12th Falcon Regulars split between [[Biota]] and [[Bessarabia]], and the Eyrie Cluster assigned the jointly-Lyran held "live-fire training" world of [[Blair Atholl]].<ref name= FMU49>''Field Manual: Updates'', 49</ref> In June 3069 elements of Rho faced the [[1st Kell Hounds]] on Graceland. The Falcons killed [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Daniel Allard]] in this engagement.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 75</ref> === The Dark Age === By the ending of the Rending, Rho was one of the older second line Galaxies within the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Jade Falcon ''touman'']] and one that [[Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen]] felt could be trusted with reasonably important goals.
