Colonel Miaowara Hanako Von Khristenson
Commander and CEO of Wulfric's Legion Incorporated.
The battalion-sized Legion is all that remains of a once-proud militia combined arms regiment from Sadalbari, the 3rd Sadalbari Volunteers. The Legion arrived on Outreach early this year, but its story is well known. For nearly 10 years, the Legion has hopscotched a path away from Kuritan space, usually by taking garrison and training assignments as they can be found. During the slow process of movement and rebuilding, the Legion has been led by widow and warrior merchant, Colonel Miaowara Hanako Von Khristenson.
In 3038, the Regiment consisted of a reinforced 'Mech battalion, 2 battalions of conventional armor, and 2 reinforced battalions of mechanized/mobilized infantry. But it had a fatal flaw: jealousy of a jilted lover. In 3033, a minor heiress to Sadalbari Solutions, one Miaowara Hanako, chose and married a young Tai-I of Militia, Wulfric Von Khristenson. All was well, except for a bitter and rejected Chu-Sa from the 2nd Shin Legion... Victor Coale. A drunken Victor Coale shamed himself during the reception when he swore eternal vengeance on the happy couple, and proceeded to pass out into the wedding cake.
Fast forward to April of 3039, when Sadalbari was hit by Invasion Wave One, the 3rd FedCom RCT and the 5th Davion Guards.
Finally, Coale had his change for revenge. Citing military strategy, the 3rd Volunteers were flung against superior numbers, repeatedly stalling the FedCom advance. Despite the Regiment's ill use, it was the jump infantry battalion of Sho-sa Khristenson which attacked the FedCom HQ and captured both General Davion and Marshall Cunningham. Coale claimed full credit, but Khristenson's success galled him to fratricide.
It was by Coale's direct orders that the exhausted and battered 2nd Motorized Btln of the 3rd Volunteers were left to defend a weak position in the face of counterattacking FedCom horde. And when those brave troopers were shattered and overrun, Coale placed his most fanatical troops in guard over the 3rd Volunteer's dependents. The order was given to the 3rd Sadalbari Volunteers: hold defense line Kotiate or their dependents would be executed.
The shattered remains of the 3rd Volunteers held out against the FedCom onslaught for 3 hours, until the 2nd Shin Legion and Coale retreated behind the Kotiate Mountains and into the ancient Castle Brian. Their duty done, the 3rd was surrendered by its highest ranking brevet officer: Chu-I Miaowara Hanako Von Khristenson. Presenting herself and the few surviving senior NCOs to the surprised FedCom Merc Liasion, Chu-I Khristenson negotiated the creation of Wulfric's Legion, Inc.
At its inception, the Legion could claim possession of 18 APCs, 3 severely understrength infantry companys, and nearly 3000 shell-shocked, widowed, orphaned and grieving dependents. It has been from this devastated core, that Colonel Khristenson has led, loved and rebuilt the Legion to its current strength. While the unit is considered reliable and regular trained, outside recruiters can attested to the absolute fanatical devotion the Legionnaires hold for their widowed Colonel and their unit.
The Legion's uniform schema is dark green tunics over medium brown coveralls. Vehicles have medium brown sides with upper surfaces of mottled green. The unit logo is that of a bright gold numeral 3 shaped W (for Wulfric), crushing a Shin Legion Buddha. Founding veterans are entitled to wear a bright green 7 point star in rememberance of Sadalbari.
