Star Captain '''Abel Klien''' was a founding member of [[Clan Ice Hellion]] and the [[Klien (Bloodname)|Klien]] [[Bloodname]].<ref name=HOK-36>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 36</ref>

==History==
Klien participated in [[Operation KLONDIKE]], [[ilKhan]] [[Nicholas Kerensky]]'s campaign to reconquer the [[Pentagon Worlds]].<ref name=HOK-36></ref>

This included the fighting on [[Babylon]] near the city of [[New Drineshane]] on the [[Solath]] continent, particularly against the rebel forces of [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Vence Membek]]. After being defeated during a battle in the city by [[Clan]] units, after emerging from hiding in the sewers, Membek retreated via that some route. Falling back through the settlements of [[Hendrae]], [[Goshen (City)|Goshen]], [[Bougainville]] and [[Roenich]], Membek made his last stand in a hilltop firebase near [[New Athens (City)|New Athens]].

Klien led a [[star]] of 'Mechs which was dropped onto Membek's firebase, killing Membek and effectively ending the resistance against the Clans in that region.<ref name=HOK-65>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 65</ref>
