As of [[3059]], the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate CHH '''''Bucephalus''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|''touman'']].<ref name="FM:CCp60">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 60: "Naval Assets"</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The ''Bucephalus'' would continue to be an active part of the ''touman'' throughout the next decade.<ref name="FM:Up45">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 45: "Naval Assets"</ref><br />
<br />
Following the beginning of the Hell's Horses campaign against their former allies in [[Clan Ice Hellion]] during [[Operation ICE STORM]], the Ice Hellion invasion of the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Occupation Zone in the [[Inner Sphere]], the ''Bucephalus'' would see action against at least one Ice Hellion WarShip. The ''Bucephalus'' is known to have engaged the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Cold Hunter|CIH ''Cold Hunter'']] in the [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] system as the ''Cold Hunter'' attempted to cover the retreat of the Ice Hellion's [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxy]]; the ''Bucephalus'' came close to destroying the lighter ship,<ref name="WORp76">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 76: "Line of Death"</ref> and the damage inflicted by the ''Bucephalus'' was directly responsible for the ''Cold Hunter's'' subsequent surrender during an engagement in the [[Dark Nebula]] in March [[3072]].<ref name="WORp85">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85: "Icy Fire"</ref><br />
<br />
In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]] [[Clan Wolf]] began a series of strikes against the Hell's Horses territory in the Inner Sphere, and in January [[3081]] the ''Bucephalus'' found itself facing down Clan Wolf forces while fighting alongside a former Ice Hellion WarShip: the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer [[Stampede|CHH ''Stampede'']], formerly the CIH ''Pack Leader'' until her capture by the Hell's Horses.<ref name="WoRp175">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 175: "Clan Hell's Horses"</ref><br />
<br />
The ''Bucephalus'' and the ''Stampede'' were involved in the defense of [[Kirchbach]] in the face of a determined [[Trial of Possession]] from the Wolves' [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma]] and [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Kappa Galaxies]] escorted by the [[Rogue (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|CWS ''Rogue'']], another ''Congress''-class frigate. The Wolf forces were overconfident, underestimating the Hell's Horses strength in the system, and the ''Stampede'' and the ''Bucephalus'' proceeded to inflict substantial damage on the ''Rogue''; Kappa Galaxy then lost almost half its strength on the approach to the planet as the DropShips were torn apart on approach. The attack was ultimately unsuccessful, with both Wolf Galaxies outfought on the ground and forced to surrender.<ref name="WoRp175"/><br />
<br />
In [[3145]] (and earlier), the ''Bucephalus'' was often used to escort the [[JumpShip]]s of the [[Fire Horse Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Fire Horse Galaxy]] into combat.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 155</ref><br />
<br />
On 6 February [[3151]], captained by [[Star Commodore]] [[Lucinda Dwelley]], the ''Bucephalus'' participated on the first stages of [[Operation STAMPEDE]], specifically, the taking of the Falcon's planet of [[Shaula]], and later became part of an expedition to [[Terra]]. On [[Rigil Kentarus]] a [[Clan Wolf]] envoy allowed only the ''Bucephalus'' to travel to Terran System, being parked above [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] during the short stay of the Horses' Khans on Terra.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', chs. 19–21</ref><br />
