Colonel Lorena Farmer was the commander of the Florida Timbuktu Theater Militia, with the Lyran Commonwealth, from at least 3145 to 3148.[2][1]
History[edit]
Farmer, with the Florida TTM, was based on Halifax as of 3145.[2] Fiercely loyal to Archon Trillian Steiner, when she learned of the formation of the separatist Buena Collective by Diego Widmer in 3146, she deployed her unit to Urjala to prevent it from defecting from the Commonwealth. On arrival, Farmer deposed the planetary council, and dug in to await reprisals from Widmer.[1]
After this counter-attack never came, in 3147 Farmer joined the assault on Widmer's homeworld of Ayacucho, which became a protracted stalemate. While lacking significant support from the local population or Tharkad, Farmer focused on conducting short raids near the Widmer family's estates, preserving her forces while imposing a personal cost on the Buena Collective leader.[3]
This situation continued for a year until January 3148, when Colonel Farmer attempted to use the increasing disquiet amongst the local population at Widmer's failure to reinforce the Second Collective Guards, by dropping fliers from anti-Widmer dissidents onto the Buena Collective positions. While this was not effective, by 9 January Commonwealth reinforcements in the form of Task Force Kingbreaker arrived, which was eventually successful in forcing the surrender of the Second Collective Guards.[4]
