History[edit]
Early Years[edit]
Maggie Ross was born a commoner in 2802 on Terra[1]. She entered a Federated Suns military academy most likely between 2816 and 2018[3], graduating most likely between 2820 and 2822[3], when it can be assumed that she entered service as a junior officer in Belinda's Irregulars.
Battle of Tawas[edit]
During Operation CELT, the Belinda's Irregulars were assigned to defend Tawas when the Third Liao Guards invaded the system. During the first hours of the fight, the Irregulars' CO, Colonel Belinda Williams, was killed along with her senior staff when their DropShip was downed. Shaken but not beaten, and led by young officer Captain Maggie Ross (a 22-year old Davion military academy graduate) of the Irregulars stalled the CCAF forces until the Irregulars finally forced them retreat on the 22nd of June 2828. Only 31 Mechwarriors and 26 'Mechs lived to tell the tale.[2]
Bloody Suns[edit]
Captain Ross met Damien Hasek at an award ceremony following the bloody conclusion of Operation CELT where she was awarded the Syrtis Medal of Honor along with the other 30 surviving mechwarriors of Belinda's Irregulars. Following the ceremony, she was promoted to Major and returned to her unit which joined the survivors of Simpson's Samurai to form the Bloody Suns to serve as the XO, while Hasek was elevated to rule the Capellan March.[1]
On Mira in November of 2829, the Bloody Suns were victims of a chemical weapons attack by the Third Chesterton Cavalry[4] and Major Ross was evacuated to New Syrtis for treatment and recuperation, where she became a regular at court during her convalescence and a romantic interest of Duke Hasek. In 2834, she became the Colonel of the Bloody Suns, returning to the front, although the duke sought to keep her regiment out of harm's way, and participated in the campaigns on Highspire, Gallitzin, and St. Ives.[1]
On June 23rd, 2838, she married Damien Hasek on New Syrtis and the Bloody Suns joined the Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers as their third battalion, thereafter known as the Ross Fusiliers.[1]
Family[edit]
Margaret would have two children with her husband, Orlando Hasek born in 2839 and Cassandra Hasek born in 2841, beginning one of the Federated Suns' greatest dynasties.[1]
