Her skill was so great that she is said to be able to hit any target on her opponent's 'Mech effortlessly. While outstanding in nature, some whispered that her skill stripped her of killer instinct, pointing out that Inner Sphere pilots who faced her were never injured. Depending on one's politics, this has sometimes been viewed as traitorous.[3]

By 3067, Gamma Galaxy had been reassigned to the garrisons of the front and the border with Clan Jade Falcon, a move Carns interpreted as retribution for the 103rd Striker Cluster's loss of Radstadt.
