Initially, Stampede was a plan from the Horses' SaKhan [[Fulk Lassenerra]], with some support of Khan Gottfried Amirault. Intended to be a continuation of [[Operation NOYAN]], it was modest at best, intending to take some Falcon's planets, testing new units and tactics. For Gottfried it was also a mean to keep Fulk distracted, as both were fighting for their Clan's leadership position. As some pointed, the operation was fueled by Lassenerra's hate towards the Falcons.

===Hinterlands Campaign===
After returning to their Occupation Zone, the Horses Khans redirected STAMPEDE against the now-vacant Falcon Occupation Zone, now a chaotic zone known as the [[Hinterlands]], but Gottfried's slowing of the offensive, excessive caution and keeping some Galaxies in reserve costed the Horses' dearly. Although the Horses meet some success, destroying the [[Turkina Ascendancy]] proto estate and annexing twenty worlds, their underestimating of their adversaries caused the defeats at [[Butler]] and the [[Battle of Sudeten (3152)|Battle of Sudeten]]. The last one saw Falcon Khan [[Jiyi Chistu]] defeating the Horses, thus preventing the Horses from claiming the vital production center. With STAMPEDE thus ending in a humiliating fizzle, the Hell's Horses underwent a leadership change as the more aggressive saKhan [[Fulk Lassenerra]] took control of the Clan, slaying Gottfried Amirault in a [[Trial of Position]].<ref name=ICp107>''IlClan'', p. 107: "The Meeting of the Khans"</ref><ref name=TRp84>''Tamar Rising'', p. 84: "Clan Hell's Horses"</ref> <ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 68: "The Consequences of Caution"</ref><ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 24-36</ref>
