{{ApocryphalContentStart}}

When distribution began of the newly designed ''[[Hatchetman]]'', the [[Federation_of_Skye#The_Succession_Wars|Independent People of Skye]], fighting off constant attacks from [[Draconis Combine]] raiders, took offense that the [[Social General]]-heavy [[Nineteenth Arcturan Guards]] were one of the first to receive shipments of the [['Mech]], rather than units that were in need. The IPS hired a [[mercenary]] company in early [[3025]] to reappropriate as many of them as possible for their cause, while at the same time send a message that the Nineteenth was undeserving of the preferential treatment.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', "Those in Need"</ref>

====Clan Invasion====
 +
On 21 November [[3051]], [[Clan Steel Viper]]'s [[400th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|400th Assault Cluster]] attacked the planet Benfled as part of the Fifth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. The seasoned mercenary unit [[Narhal's Raiders]] met the Steel Vipers at Monument Hill but found themselves unprepared for the swiftness and firepower of the invading [[Cluster]].  After just four hours of combat fully two-thirds of the Raiders' forces had been destroyed and the mercenaries abandoned the planet.  Seeing no further opposition the Steel Vipers declared victory.<ref name=IC88>''Invading Clans'', p. 88</ref>
 +
 +
It was at this point the Clan received a transmission from Rene Duchesne of the Benfled 10th Cadet Corps, informing the Steel Vipers his forces still stood in opposition to their rule, and that he wished to bid against them in Clan fashion in a [[Trial of Possession]] over the planet.  The Steel Vipers agreed and for several hours bargained with Rene, eventually reducing their bids down to a single unarmed and unarmored warrior.  For their champion Rene presented Tony Bernson, a massive cadet standing just over two meters in height weighing almost 114kg of solid muscle.  The Steel Viper champion, [[Star Commander]] Janine, was unfazed by her opponent's build.  In a short but brutal contest which earned a mention in the Steel Viper ''[[Remembrance]]'', Janine defeated Tony and took both him and Rene as [[bondsmen]].<ref name=IC88/>
 +
 +
During the [[Hegira War]] Benfled evidently saw no fighting between the Vipers and the [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcons]], and like the rest of Steel Viper Occupation Zone was annexed by the Falcons in [[3061]].<ref>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 29, "Steel Viper Targets" - Benfled not listed as a world where fighting took place.</ref>
 +
 +
====IlClan Era====
 +
After nearly a century of Jade Falcon rule, Benfled was attacked by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] in late [[3151]] during [[Operation STAMPEDE]]. The [[1st Horde Cluster (Clan Hell's Horses)|First Horde Cluster]] easily smashed the Falcon paramilitary garrison defending the capital of Hadfield, though ''[[ristar]]'' Star Captain [[Peter Cobb]] privately questioned the value of this one-sided slaughter given Benfled's lack of military resources.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 58 & 60, "Vengeance upon the dezgra"</ref> <ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 60, "Prophecy fulfilled - identities in question"</ref>

On 21st November [[3051]], Clan Steel Viper's [[400th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|400th Assault Cluster]] attacked the planet Benfled. The seasond mercenary unit [[Narhal's Raiders]] and the [[Benfled Cadet Corps]] were unprepared for the swiftness of the invading [[Cluster]]. Even with 2 regiments the battle left 12 companies shattered on the field. The Cadet Corps surprised the Vipers by issuing a [[Trial of Position]] for the planet. The Trial was fought by [[Star Commander]] Janine, an [[Elemental]], and an huge 'normal' cadet. The Vipers won the trial and duly claimed the planet.<ref>''Invading Clans (sourcebook)'', p. 88</ref>

When distribution began of the newly designed Hatchetman, the Independent People of Skye, fighting off constant attacks from Draconis Combine raiders, took offense that the Social General-heavy Nineteenth Arcturan Guards were one of the first to receive shipments of the 'Mech, rather than units that were in need. The IPS hired a mercenary company in early 3025 to reappropriate as many of them as possible for their cause, while at the same time send a message that the Nineteenth was undeserving of the preferential treatment.[29]

Clan Invasion[edit]

On 21 November 3051, Clan Steel Viper's 400th Assault Cluster attacked the planet Benfled as part of the Fifth Wave of Operation REVIVAL. The seasoned mercenary unit Narhal's Raiders met the Steel Vipers at Monument Hill but found themselves unprepared for the swiftness and firepower of the invading Cluster. After just four hours of combat fully two-thirds of the Raiders' forces had been destroyed and the mercenaries abandoned the planet. Seeing no further opposition the Steel Vipers declared victory.[30]

It was at this point the Clan received a transmission from Rene Duchesne of the Benfled 10th Cadet Corps, informing the Steel Vipers his forces still stood in opposition to their rule, and that he wished to bid against them in Clan fashion in a Trial of Possession over the planet. The Steel Vipers agreed and for several hours bargained with Rene, eventually reducing their bids down to a single unarmed and unarmored warrior. For their champion Rene presented Tony Bernson, a massive cadet standing just over two meters in height weighing almost 114kg of solid muscle. The Steel Viper champion, Star Commander Janine, was unfazed by her opponent's build. In a short but brutal contest which earned a mention in the Steel Viper Remembrance, Janine defeated Tony and took both him and Rene as bondsmen.[30]

During the Hegira War Benfled evidently saw no fighting between the Vipers and the Jade Falcons, and like the rest of Steel Viper Occupation Zone was annexed by the Falcons in 3061.[31]

IlClan Era[edit]

After nearly a century of Jade Falcon rule, Benfled was attacked by Clan Hell's Horses in late 3151 during Operation STAMPEDE. The First Horde Cluster easily smashed the Falcon paramilitary garrison defending the capital of Hadfield, though ristar Star Captain Peter Cobb privately questioned the value of this one-sided slaughter given Benfled's lack of military resources.[32] [33]
