====Fourth Succession War====
 +
On 14 April [[3029]], a strike force led by [[Justin Xiang]] and several [[Maskirovka]] agents hit Bethel Lab while the [[Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers]] distracted [[Davion Light Guards]]'s Delta Company on another side of the planet.<ref name=WCp72>''Warrior: Coupé'', p. 72: Justin given word that the Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers successfully distracted Captain Redburn's forces.</ref> Justin and his team manage to penetrate the facility's security, sedate the researchers, and obtain experimental myomer fibers.<ref name=WCp75>''Warrior: Coupé'', p. 75: Romano's agent strikes and fails.</ref>
 +
 +
====Jihad====
 +
During the [[Jihad]], Bethel was the site of one of the more ignoble [[Word of Blake]] defeats; while conducting a heavy raid against Bethel on 22 November [[3070]], the Blakist raiders miscalled a nuclear strike, bringing the nuclear attack down on their own position and effectively destroying themselves.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

The inhabited planet in the Bethel system is an open-environment world.[citation needed]

Planetary History[edit]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

On 14 April 3029, a strike force led by Justin Xiang and several Maskirovka agents hit Bethel Lab while the Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers distracted Davion Light Guards's Delta Company on another side of the planet.[35] Justin and his team manage to penetrate the facility's security, sedate the researchers, and obtain experimental myomer fibers.[36]

Jihad[edit]

During the Jihad, Bethel was the site of one of the more ignoble Word of Blake defeats; while conducting a heavy raid against Bethel on 22 November 3070, the Blakist raiders miscalled a nuclear strike, bringing the nuclear attack down on their own position and effectively destroying themselves.[37]
