Planetary History[edit]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

Bethel was the target of Operation INTRUDERS COMMUNION, a Capellan raid on a classified NAIS laboratory.[35][36] On 9 April 3029, a strike force led by Justin Xiang and a team of Maskirovka agents hit the covert NAIS lab at Fort David while two companies of the Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers distracted Davion Light Guards's Delta Company with a feint towards the reactor-assembly plant at Oakland, Bethel's primary industrial center on the other side of the planet.[37][38] Justin and his team manage to penetrate the facility's security, sedate the researchers, and obtain experimental myomer fibers.[39]

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.[40]
