Titles and Positions
Notes
Sterling was listed as being born in 3016 in the Highlander scenerio pack but in the novel Impetus of War Andrea was 20 years older than Loren Jaffray who was 33 at the time of the events described in the novel, i.e. in 3058[1]
According to Grey Watch Protocol, Stirling was still alive as of 3146,[6] which means she would have lived at least 141 years, an extraordinarily long time for any person in the BattleTech universe. This may have been a mistake on the part of the author.
