History

Founding

Bensinger was settled by a mixture of artists and craftsmen from Kufstein and Predlitz, technicians from St. John and engineers from New Bergen. This eclectic mix of settlers were refugees fleeing from the Rasalhague Principality as a result of Shiro Kurita's campaign to try and annex this nation during the 2330s-2340s.[1]

Rim Worlds Republic

Bensinger was a part of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic and was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth war.[2]

Clan Invasion

On April 3055, the landing was terrible for the Viper Fusiliers. Disorganized and in the hair cross of the awaiting 305th Assault Cluster, the Vipers were on the edge of the collapse, but that not happen. Even with nearly 25% loses they turned the fight in their favor. The Falcon force was so badly positioned that they had to fire on their on comrades before reaching the enemy.[3]
