Dean Shields was the commanding officer of the Eighth Amaris Fusiliers by 2575.[1]
History[edit]
In 2575, rioting had broken out at the Displass 'Mech plant on Apollo. A detachment from the Fourth Amaris Dragoons had been overwhelmed by forces calling themselves the Rim Provisional Government. First Consul Gregory Amaris reacted in his typical cold-blooded fashion, placing all of the planet under martial law and sending in the Seventh Amaris Legionnaires and Eighth Amaris Fusiliers to restore order at the 'Mech plant. Refusing to fire on her fellow citizens, Colonel Catherine Dormax placed her troops in service of the RPG, then gave an impassioned speech to the Dean Shields and the Eighth, rousing their patriotism and convincing them to join the cause.[2][3][4][5][6]
