History[edit]
Rise of Alaric Ward[edit]
On 24 November 3142, Ward participated in a Clan Wolf Clan Council meeting on Gienah, which discussed the Wolf Empire's response to Malvina Hazen's invasion of the Lyran Commonwealth, and ultimately decided to launch its own invasion in order to counter the Falcons. During this meeting, Ward expressed her disgust at Malvina Hazen, and her admiration of the Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces who opposed her drive on Tharkad.[2] In a subsequent Clan Council meeting, in August 3143 following the death of Khan Seth Ward and Alaric Ward winning his Bloodname, Elise Ward nominated Alaric Ward to replace Seth Ward as Khan.[5]
Invasion of the Republic[edit]
As of 3145, Ward led her Galaxy from Gacrux, together with her Bronze Keshik.[1]
In 3150, during the Wolves invasion of the Republic of the Sphere, Gacrux was subject to a counter attack by Paladin Max Ergen and his First Army Group, which overwhelmed and forced off-world Ward's Bronze Keshik and 271st Wolf Guard Assault Cluster. Returning in April with reinforcements, Ward was able to defeat the Republic's XII Triarii Protectors, killing their Colonel Norishige Shiroyama during a nighttime strike. The remaining Triarii attempted to flee, but they were trapped by the Wolves, and Elise Ward ordered them to be destroyed to the last man.[6]
Battle of Terra[edit]
Cooper remained in command of Gamma Galaxy during the Battle of Terra in 3151, including April's IlClan Trial, where she commanded the operation to seize a beachhead near the lakeside city of Thunder Bay in the early hours of the trial, to provide support for operations behind Clan Jade Falcon's lines.[3][4]
Awards[edit]
As a combatant in the IlClan Trial, Ward was the recipient of the BloodRibbon award, issued by the Third Star League.[3]
