Bethany Page was a notable armored infantryman in the Fourth Robinson Strikers during the Dark Age Era.[1]
History[edit]
Corporal Page was a member of the Fourth Robinson Striker's 302nd Amphibious Platoon during the 3144 fighting on McGehee against the Sixteenth Galedon Regulars. The 302nd Platoon, also known as the Red Tridents, contributed greatly to the Fourth Striker's attacks against the Sixteenth Regulars, but their greatest feat was accomplished after one of the Strikers' battalion command teams was captured near the city of Tonia. In order to reach their landing zones and deliver their captives for interrogation, the Regulars were forced to cross the Davis River as the Federated Suns forces had destroyed all of the bridge crossings. The Red Tridents were tasked with launching a rescue operation, striking the prisoner transport vessel and its two infantry-laden escorts as they approached the mid-point of the Davis River. In short order, both of the escort vessels were eliminated by the Tridents' missile fire and the prisoner transport hijacked, while the Regulars' BattleMechs waiting on the river's far shore unable to do anything but watch as the currents carried their prisoners away for evacuation.[2][3]
Page proved herself instrumental in the Red Trident's rescue mission and was officially commended for destroying one of the escort vessels, having used her Underwater Maneuvering Unit to pass under the prisoner transport before destroying the enemy ship. Notably, she was also one of the only troopers to hit an enemy target while moving, as the bulky SRM launcher on her suit normally required a stationary position for accurate firing. When a near-miss rocked the prisoner transport and caused one of the captured battalion officers to fall into the river, Page's rescue of the officer ensured her promotion to corporal after the operation's conclusion.[1]
