- "Yeah, I heard about that. Benoist–Henderson Station was a fuel depot at Kappa Reticuli. Weyland–Yutani says Hyperdyne mercenaries sabotaged it. Hyperdyne says one of Weyland's own bioweapons got loose. You figure that out."
- ―João Santos (from Aliens: Fireteam Elite)
Benoist–Henderson was a fuel station situated at Kappa Reticuli. Prior to 2187, the depot was destroyed; while the Weyland-Yutani Corporation claimed that mercenaries working on behalf of the Hyperdyne Corporation were responsible, Hyperdyne countered with an assertion that a bioweapon developed by Weyland–Yutani was the true culprit.
A thousand civilians died as a result of the destruction, and food shipments were delayed for months. In the aftermath, the Colonial Protection Act was signed in 2187. United States Colonial Marine Corps member First Lieutenant João Santos related the incident to an unidentified Marine while discussing the Colonial Protection Act aboard the USCM starship UAS Endeavor in 2202.
