Biography
With few other details to go on regarding the life of Alanah Knox, all that is known about her is her heroic final drive to smite the Smoke Jaguar attackers. In this she showed herself to be a strong tactician and able leader who was undaunted by overwhelming odds arrayed against her.[2]
Assault on Fianna
After the fall of the Mongoose colonies in the Kerensky Cluster, the last Mongoose Stronghold left would be Circe. After the Orbital Bombardment that rained destruction on the Mongoose defenses of Fianna's western shore (in which Mongoose Khan Walter Martindale perished, unbeknownst to all, including saKhan Knox), the Smoke Jaguars poured onto the island and quickly advanced on the Mongoose city of Tara, led by their Khan, Theodore Osis.[2]
In their last stand of the Trial, the Mongooses would array their heavy and assault 'Mechs as the primary defense of the city. Once the Smoke Jaguar horde engaged this force, the Mongoose command Keshik emerged and bit deep into the flank of the attackers while their remaining Mongoose Aerospace Fighters covered their maneuvers, destroying more than they would lose. But in the end, they could only lose to the overwhelming force of the Smoke Jaguar attack. With the last 'Mech to fall, Clan Mongoose too would die.[2]
Legacy
After her charge into the flanks of Khan Osis' forces attacking the city of Tara, the last holdout of Clan Mongoose, it is not clear if she was a survivor or if she died during the attack. Regardless, her genetic legacy, along with the legacies of every other warrior of her Clan, would be cast aside by their arrogant conquerors.[1][3]
