Sigrid Zelenova was, as of 3067, a cadet at the Nellus Academy.
History[edit]
Sigrid's parents were famous technicians, a skill Sigrid shared.[1] Her brother was killed in war.[2]
In October 3067, Sigrid was part of a group of eight top Nellus Academy cadets sent on what was meant to be a straightforward voyage to Concord with General Gurald Eichner, in theory as a public relations event in honor of Nestor's new refueling station. Less openly, the cadets were meant to help detect a Lyran spy operating at the Nestor spaceport.[3] After setting off on the Requirement on 21 October, Eichner and the cadets ran into trouble: hijackers, the Lyran-hired Bloody Stoats, who came to capture the general.[4] Clashes between the cadets and the hijackers led to the DropShip crashing on Phobos, a planetoid in the Gienah system that held the Stoats' base. Fighting continued between the wreckage and the base, leading to multiple deaths. Eventually the cadets managed to call a League force in for evacuation.[5]
During a raid on the Stoats' base, Sigrid found and, using her knowledge as a technician, hijacked the Commando of mercenary commander Deimos von Schetzle. She piloted the BattleMech under fire until she could hand it off to the cadets' best pilot, Joseph Robson.[6]
Sigrid was one of four League survivors evacuated successfully, alongside three other cadets. As with the other survivors, she was to be given special honors and given a cover story to memorize and use; the League would attempt to control what was known about the incident.[7]
Description[edit]
Sigrid was a lanky, freckled girl with a pixie cut.[1]
BattleMechs[edit]
For a short time during the Phobos clashes, Sigrid piloted a stolen Commando, shortly afterwards handed off to Joseph Robson.[6]
