In time he gained his Bloodname, along with fame for his accomplishments. His first command was a Cluster of Beta Galaxy's 121st Hellion Lancers.

saKhan of Clan Ice Hellion
In 3065, Conner's career changed, with Raina Montose's successful Trial of Grievance over Khan Asa Taney. Conner was chosen to become saKhan and Galaxy Commander of Beta Galaxy.
By 3067, Conner had rebuilt the esprit de corps of Beta Galaxy's warriors with help from his aide, Star Colonel Brendon Wick. However, Connor's efforts had been successful only due to the presence of two Flurry Clusters among his Galaxy's numbers. The Flurry Clusters caused any victory won by the Galaxy to be tainted due to the presence of combat vehicles.[4]
Inner Sphere Invasion of 3071-72
In the early 3070s, Khan Montose devised a plan to invade Clan Jade Falcon's Occupational Zone as part of her plan to create an OZ for the Ice Hellions at the cost of the Falcons. She mustered all their frontline combat Galaxies and divided them between herself and Conner. Rood was given command of three Galaxies for his Task Force, Delta, Zeta, and his own Beta Galaxy. His forces were to secure the Periphery border, while she would secure industrial worlds to bolster their declining Touman strength.
In June 3071, saKhan Rood lead his task force on a successful conquest of six Falcon worlds. The Falcon Guard retook the planet Bone-Norman shortly thereafter. Rood was nearly killed on Bone-Norman, when his Kit Fox was attacked by a star of Erinyes ProtoMechs led by Star Captain Kandari Falcon.[5]
The successes of his Task Force's campaign continued for six months with few reversals. However, by November Clan Hell's Horses begun to aide the Falcons in their resurgent of their offensive against his Clan's efforts. Conner was forced to retreat to Lackhove due to the Falcon's reinforcements, leaving his Galaxy's command unit, the 200th Attack Cluster, in the process.
By early 3072, faced large quantity of Jade Falcon and Hell's Horse forces hunting down his task force. Conner orders his task force's survivors to pull back to Dark Nebula, one his unit's first conquests. In March, Beta's survivors and his Galaxy's Naval Star clash with Falcon's Delta Galaxy and Hell's Horses Theta Galaxy. Rood's Naval forces are heavy mauled, leaving him only Potemkin, CIE Coterie left his command. Falcon saKhan Samantha Clees offers him and his command Hegira, which he accepts at later discourse of his Khan.[6]
Post-Invasion and Jihad
Rood had reportedly taken the Conterie with his Galaxy's three remaining Clusters and withdrawing to the Deep Periphery. Intelligence reports suggest his destination was Nouveaux Paris, where his Clan had maintained a garrison outpost.
Notes
Conner Rood's information is incomplete due to lack of full profile done on him. His whereabouts and his actions after the invasion of Clan Jade Falcon's territory had been reduced to scattered intelligence reports. His destination of Nouveaux Prime, in Jihad Secrets, may be an error and may actually be Nouveaux Paris instead.
He was also noted as a Kit Fox OmniMech pilot during Operation ICE STORM.[7]
