History
Clan Invasion
General Killson commanded the 23rd Arcturan Guards on Carse at the beginning of the Clan's drive toward Terra. [1] Knowing they were in the path of the Invaders, Killson and her Frost Giants awaited them for nearly two years. Instead, in January 3052, they received orders to relocate to Coventry for Training and Refit. With multiple confirmations from Lyran High Command, a fourth of the Frost Giants stayed to await the new garrison. The erroneous order had the destroyed 10th Donegal slated to replace them and the remnants and the mercenary Second Freeman were wiped out on one of the last Federated Commonwealth worlds lost to the Clans before Tukayyid.
General Kilson faced a court-martial for the loss of a quarter of her unit, though she was exonerated and blame placed on an old automated computer system. The affair did sour the General and her troops on Lyran bureaucracy. [2]
FedCom Civil War
In the FedCom Civil War Nadine would command the 23rd Arcturan Guards in support of Victor Steiner-Davion, moving from A Place to Tikonov with the Prince's central task force.
On Tikonov, in late 3064, the Bounty Hunter was reported as able to abscond with the General while Prince Victor's forces held the planet, turning her over to Lyran Military forces.[3][4] As she is known to have commanded the Twenty-Third and prepared the Allied analysis and support dossiers in the final drive towards New Avalon in 3066, the reports of her kidnapping are unsubstantiated.[5] Neither the Bounty Hunter nor General Kilson publicly discussed the rumors.
On New Avalon, General Killson led the 23rd against Loyalist forces, especially an infantry push against Avalon City.[6] She did not command the unit in the aftermath of the Civil War, however.[7]
