The '''''Stonehenge''''' was a ''[[Mule]]''-class [[DropShip]] operated by [[ComStar]]. It touched down in the starport of the city of Royce on [[Fletcher]] on 20 November [[3067]] on a supply run, on the circuit from [[Epsilon Indi]].<ref>''The Discovery of Command'' (in: ''Front Lines'', p. 99)</ref> By this time, it was noted that the vessel featured unique scarring that made visual identification easy.<ref>''The Discovery of Command'' (in: ''Front Lines'', p. 119)</ref>

Two days later Fletcher was overrun by [[Word of Blake]] forces in a surprise attack. All military [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] DropShips were mined and destroyed by sappers with massive charges attached to their hulls, but the ''Stonehenge'' — being a civilian ship with a [[ComStar]] registry as opposed to a military vessel with a Com Guard registry — was initially overlooked. On or shortly after 24 November 3067, however, the Word of Blake forces in Royce noticed the ''Stonehenge'' for the ComStar vessel it was. A ring of [[BattleMech]] surrounded the DropShip and destroyed it with weapons fire, to prevent any surviving ComStar forces on Fletcher from making any use of the ship.<ref>''The Discovery of Command'' (in: ''Front Lines'', pp. 121-122)</ref>

The ship was reported missing after her failure to arrive on station in [[Errai]] mid December, and it was confirmed that the ''Stonehenge's'' route included a stopover in the Fletcher system.<ref name=WoBSEIF>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [04/01/3068]: "Word of Blake Seizes Epsilon Indi, Fletcher"''</ref>
