Jihad

The Second Benjamin Regulars defended Benjamin from Davion and Word of Blake forces. These resistance efforts took a heavy toll on the unit, reducing it to a quarter of it's pre-Jihad strength.[4] After being relieved by Nova Cat forces the Second rebuilt its numbers by absorbing the survivors of the 15th Benjamin Regulars, who had also been on Benjamin. Once the world was free of Blakist forces, the Coordinator visited. The Second, however, wasn't able to enjoy the visit, as they were rotated off-world. The message that they weren't trusted by the High Command was received, and the Second stopped pushing for treatment equal to other Regular units. Their acceptance of this need to show their loyalty has worked, with the High Command sending some replacement troops.[5]
