Lydia Arentsen was the commanding officer of the Alekseyvka TTM as of 3053.[1]
History[edit]
Colonel Arentsen, serving with the Alekseyvka TTM, was stationed on Alekseyvka in 3062. Born on Tamar, Arentsen transferred to the Alekseyvka Militia after five years as a battalion commander in the Twenty-fourth Lyran Guards. Arentsen was a superb strategist and leader of men and her posting to the Militia was seen as a means of honing her skills before she would be transferred once more to command of a prestigious front-line combat unit. However, Arentsen did possess one weakness: her support for House Kelswa's call for a renewed offensive against the Clans in order to reclaim the worlds of the Tamar Pact.[1]
Arentsen and the Alekseyvka Militia did not participate in the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, although Arentsen was grateful not to have been selected for - and chewed up by - the Eleventh Arcturan Guards' battlegroup based on the Timbuktu Theater's capital.[2] After the Jihad, Arentsen remained in command of the Alekseyvka Militia on Alekseyvka by 3085.[3]
