History

Amanda Calderon (b.2387, d.????) was Daniel Calderon's only child at his death in 2390. Only 3 years old, she could not be made Protector, so for the first time in Concordat history a Regent, Admiral Sigur Fonn, was chosen to govern in place of the scion of House Calderon. [1] Durring her lifetime, the Taurian Concordat engaged in a brutal savage war with the early Capellan Confederation then under the rule of Chancellor Arden Baxter. The 'Rim War' would offically run from 2418 to 2422 but the clashes between the Capellan and Taurian Navies began from 2397 to 2417 and ended with the Capellan capture of Zanzibar, Corodiz and Mendham. The 'gains' Baxter had made had cost his nation far more than his nation could keep paying though. [2]

In 2422 Amanda arranged a settlement with Baxter that brought an end to the 'Rim War'. But Baxter then attempted to go further that just peace; he proposed a 'thousand world alliance' of the Confederation and Concordat as well as the smaller interstellar entities between them. Advised by Admiral Sigur Fonn, Amanda rejected this offer, instead chosing a path of neutrality. This neutrality did not stop her from granting sanctuary to dissandent Capellan military forces/leaders fleeing Baxter and his Confederacy. Through these and even Marik defectors Amanda was able to secure Battlemech technology for her nation to build.[3]

Notes

There is no specific year listed when Amanda was officially proclaimed Protector but it would have most likely been on or shortly after her majority of 18 years old (2415).Deeppockets 01:46, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
