History[edit]

Wolfkin Keshik[edit]

Born and raised in a small Clan Wolf sibko within the Republic of the Sphere on Tikonov, Elora was the only one of her sibkin to pass her Trial of Position, achieving a single kill. Her adherence to the classical tactics associated with Zellbrigen, won praise from her superiors, giving her command of the Wolfkin Keshik's Command Star comprising Geoff Bekker, Eustolia Wolf, Glodek Sender and Miko Conners.[3]

Despite having over a dozen combat victories by 3132, Elora was however very awkward socially, preferring to spend her off-duty hours on technical briefings, physical exercise and simulator drills.[1]

Ruchbah[edit]

In June 3133, Elora formed part of a Steel Wolves taskforce assigned to capture the Michaelson Heavy Industries factory on Ruchbah under the command of Star Colonel Ulan, which landed on world at the same time as a Spirit Cats unit under the command of Star Captain Liz Nostra and Star Commander Susan Drummond.[4] Having heard of Anastasia Kerensky joining the Steel Wolves, Elora was motivated to take Ruchbah in her honor, out of her respect for the Kerensky Bloodhouse. Landing in the DropShip Bloodfang near the city of Rook which was simultaneous with the Spirt Cats, the Steel Wolves were forced to retreat after being mauled.[2]

Moving to take the Michaelson Heavy Industries factory near Verlinshire, the Spirit Cats established a defensive base, but were attacked again by the Wolves from an unexpected direction across the frozen Lake Sharpe. Elora's attack was however noticed by Liz Nostra and Susan Drummond while scouting, enabling the Cats base to be alerted of the approaching assault, and its entrenched defenses proved too much for the Wolf offensive.[5] Nostra then launched an opportunist counter-assault before either side had repaired their damage suffered, which proved enough to force Elora and the Wolves to retreat from Ruchbah.[6]

BattleMech[edit]

Elora was known to have piloted a Firestarter BattleMech, serial number FS961-78K, nicknamed "Firefox". Built in the Federated Suns, Elora preferred using its Rotary AC/2 over its Flamers, due to her stereotypical Clan love for ranged combat.[1]
