Elle Bennett was a MechWarrior with the Fifth Donegal Guards.

Biography

Bennett graduated from the MechWarrior program of Sanglamore on Skye.[1]

War of 3039

Assigned to the Fifth Donegal Guards shortly after graduation, Bennett was on Ryde in January 3039 for the jump-off position in the conflict that would be known as the War of 3039[1][2]. In April, together with the Twenty-third Arcturan Guards, the Fifth Donegal Guards launched the attack on their Wave One target ofAlrakis[3]. Despite the majority of the 5th Donegal remaining in orbit, Bennett made planetfall, perhaps as part of a regimental liaison with the 23rd Arcturan. She was credited with eight kills on Arakis, being particularly effective against Shadowhawks and Dragons[1][3].

Marriage and children

It is unknown if Bennett married, though she did have at least one child, Natasha Ergen[4].

BattleMech

Bennett owned and piloted a GRF-1E Griffin which she nicknamed "Sparky"[1]. This 'Mech would later be upgraded to a GRF-1E2 "Sparky 2.0" by Corean Enterprises at the request of Bennett's daughter who was then piloting the 'Mech[4]


Trivia

  • Bennett would use her lasers to carve an "E" in the chest of each 'Mech she defeated.
