Attacking the planet [[Bone-Norman]] in [[3071]], the 200th underestimated the resistance that the defending [[11th Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eleventh Provisional Garrison Cluster]] would offer to the Ice Hellion invasion. Operating under the command of [[Star Colonel]] Idris, the Eleventh knew that they wouldn't be able to defeat the 200th and would be heavily outnumbered; nevertheless, the Falcons were determined to tie down Connor Rood's forces for as long as possible, in the hopes that this would cause a delay to the overall Ice Hellion timetable for their invasion of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.<ref name="TtS:BNp7"/>

Idris called for a Trial for control of Bone-Norman, and deliberately designated the entire of the Hapsburg continent as his [[Circle of Equals]]. This negated the Ice Hellion fast-strike tactics, by allowing the second-line Jade Falcon units to choose their own engagements, and to mount ambushes that didn't break ''[[zellbrigen]]'', allowing them to draw the Trial out without forfeiting. For two weeks, the Jade Falcon forces led the 200th around Bone-Norman in a series of frustrating engagements until Rood decided that he had to expose himself to draw the Jade Falcon forces out. The result was a battle on the Red Stone Plains where each force attempted to spring a trap on the other; Rood instructed a subordinate to begin a general melee, a tactic that allowed him to bring in an additional Trinary of troops that hadn't been a part of his original bid, only for Idris to bring a formation of ''[[Erinyes (ProtoMech)|Erinyes]]'' [[ProtoMech]]s to augment his own forces. The ProtoMechs nearly killed Rood, breaking through his cockpit and burning him badly shortly before the Hellions were able to declare the Trial a victory for themselves.<ref name="TtS:BNp7"/>
