Notably facing off with an First Regulan Hussar Berserker assault 'Mech at Imstar Aerospace planet along with one of her fellow MechWarriors.
Notes[edit]
- Chowla pilots a Thanatos BattleMech, originally belonging to Obadiah "Jake" Jacoam, who co-founded the First Rim Commonality Guard when it was a mercenary unit in 3066.
- In the novel To Ride the Chimera, it is mentioned that Alethea Chowla's grandmother was also Force Commander Chowla, of the First Rim Commonality Guard, presumably being Reema Chowla. Her grandfather Obadiah "Jake" Jacoam, who was a founding member of the Chaos Irregulars mercenary unit, is prominently mentioned in the Mercenaries Supplemental Update entry for the Chaos Irregulars.
