Though it was conceivable that she lost her father in [[December]] of '47, the likelihood was that it happened during the first half of '48. During the [[Battle of Bellatrix]], [[Dalek]] forces engaged the [[Earth Alliance]] [[Spacefleet]] at [[Bellatrix]]. At the end of the battle, [[Isaac Summerfield|Admiral Summerfield]]'s battleship, ''[[Tisiphone]]'', fell into a spatio-temporal rift and was transported to [[1963]] [[Earth]]. Benny was seven at the time.

Just to be clear, most of this is ''calculated'' knowledge, rather than direct statement. The starting point for calculations is [[2540]] because that year ''is'' directly stated in ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'' as her birth year and because ''Just War'' goes to great lengths to invalidate the year given in ''[[Falls the Shadow]]'', 2422, as being a year following a different calendar. 2540 is later confirmed by ''[[Genius Loci]]'', because that audio has her getting her M.A. in 2562 at the age of 22. | Just to be clear, most of this is ''calculated'' knowledge, rather than direct statement.
