Born on the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] world of [[Last Frontier]], Cilla's life was shattered by the [[Clan Invasion]], when she was forced to flee from the advance of [[Clan Ghost Bear]] against her homeworld. Her hatred of the invaders and the Bears in particular was only amplified by the loss of her brother Martin, a ''[[Fanjunkare]]'' in the [[1st Freemen]] who died in the failed defense of Last Frontier. <ref name=MM-107/> <ref name="ER3052-50">''Era Report: 3052'', p. 50 "Factions - Clan Ghost Bear"</ref>

==History==

Cilla entered military training as soon as she was able to in order to seek revenge against the Ghost Bears. Cilla was one of the first cadets accepted into the newly opened [[Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy]] in [[3056]]. Entering active service with the [[3rd Drakøns]] just in time to take part in [[Operation Bulldog]], Cilla's actions during that conflict earned her recommendation for officer candidate training, which she graduated from in [[3061]] becoming a ''[[Löjtnant]]'' in the [[1st Tyr]].<ref name=MM-107/>

When Bears response to the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] was to annex the seven remaining worlds of the Republic with the acquiescence of its government, Cilla was livid with rage. This betrayal was the start of her attempts to convince her comrades in the 1st Tyr to oppose the merger, but they fell on deaf ears as most where more or less in favor. Refusing to flee the Republic she loved, Cilla declined the offer of the departing [[Precentor]] to join the withdrawing [[Com Guards]], and was ultimately discharged from the KungsArmé for refusing to participate in the [[Trial of Position|Trials]] to remain a warrior on the Bear's ''[[touman]]''.<ref name=MM-107/>

Focusing instead on political agitation, Cilla became one of the most vocal resisters against the merger, penning endless volumes of anti-Ghost Bear propaganda and also directing much of her vitriol for those she saw as betraying the Republic, such as [[Christian Månsdottir]]. While mostly fighting the Bears on political terms, some evidence exists that Cilla had ties to numerous violent protests on former Rasalhague worlds and the KungsArmé mutiny in [[3075]]. Going underground in the wake of the mutiny, with little chance of outside support and continuing intigration of Rasalhague and Bear governments, most assumed she would soon switch from advocating resistance to encouraging terrorism outright.<ref name=MM-107/>

As of 9 January [[3079]], Cilla was the last senior member of Motstånd known to still be alive, having narrowly escaped capture by Ghost Bear [[Clan Paramilitary Police|paramilitary police]] forces on the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] world of [[Tinaca]].<ref name="J:FRp60"/><ref name="J:FRp11+"/> Cilla remained alive and free for more than thirty years; she was involved in the resurgence of Motstånd in [[3125]] but was captured during a wave of assaults on Motstånd strongholds that same year. Captured and executed on [[Vipaava]] by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Dalia Bekker]], who led [[Alpha Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Alpha Galaxy]] against the various Motstånd strongholds, she was finally brought to justice by the [[Rasalhague Dominion]]. Her death also gave Dalia Bekker the popularity boost she needed to secure her own appointment to [[Khan]] of Clan Ghost Bear in [[3126]].<ref name="ER:3145p108">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 108: "Dalia Bekker"</ref><ref name=MoR/>
