'''Anika Janssen''' (born [[3026]]- died ])
Anika was born on the planet [[Gunzburg]] in [[3026]], shortly before the planet's liberation from [[Draconis Combine]]. Her family belonged to the Tyr independence movement. Her father joined the [[Gunzburg Eagles]] eight years later, and Anika followed in his footsteps and joined them as she was old enough.
 
  
During her training, she met [[Tyra Miraborg]], the daughter of [[Valdherre of Gunzburg|Gunzburg's ''Valdherre'']], and the two became best friends, and in [[3045]], she entered active service. In [[3049]], when Tyra left the planet to join the [[1st Drakøns|First Rasalhague Drakøns]], Anika followed her.
+
==Physical description==
 +
Her delicate feathures, long blonde hair give Anika the beauty than attracts many admirers, but the steel in his blue eyes warns away most of them. As she lost most of her friends in the [[Clan Invasion]], was reluctant to made more. Beside the pilots under her command, whom she treats like family, the only Columbus personnel she associates are Tai-sa Otanashi and Precentor O'Bhaoil.
 +
Despite his ComStar Precentor rank, she wears a mixture of pilot uniform and Clan Wolf clothes.<ref>''Explorer Corps (Sourcebook)'' p. 28</ref>
  
The [[Clan Invasion]] found the Drakøns in the front lines since the beginning, and their unit managed to obtain a small victory against [[Clan Ghost Bear]] fighters. When [[Clan Wolf]] attacked [[Rasalhague]], in July of [[3050]], the Drakøns were assigned to escort the Elected Prince [[Haakon Magnusson]] away from the capital, but before doing so, the fighters made a devastating attack against the Wolves on ground, under their own initiative.

During her training, she met [[Tyra Miraborg]], the daughter of [[Valdherre of Gunzburg|Gunzburg's Valdherre]], and both became best friends, and in [[3045]], entered active service. In [[3049]], when Tyra leaved the planet to join the [[1st Drakøns|First Rasalhague Drakons]], Anika followed her.  
  
A few months later, in the system of [[Radstadt]], while still escorting the Prince in his escape, Anika and the Drakøns were surprised by the unexpected arrival of a fleet of Clan Wolf ships. The Drakøns attacked the Wolf ships, trying to buy time for the Prince's ship to escape. It was then that Anika's friend Tyra aerospace fighter was damaged and Tyra rammed her fighter into the bridge of the [[WarShip]] [[Dire Wolf]], Clan Wolf's flagship, killing the invasion leader, [[ilKhan]] [[Leo Showers]], and halting the invasion for a year. Anika survived the battle, but was devastated by her friend's death.<ref name=ECp53>''Explorer Corps'', p. 53</ref>

The next year, Janssen was transferred to the [[3rd Drakøns|Third Drakøns]], who were sent into action against the Clans on [[Memmingen]], [[Satalice]] and [[Skandia]]. On Skandia, the Third Drakøns command was destroyed, with the survivors including Anika Janssen. She was taken as [[bondswoman]] to Clan Wolf. During the [[Refusal War]], Anika was accepted again as warrior and followed Khan [[Phelan Ward]] in Exile. In the battle of [[Morges]], she helped to defeat the forces of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] [[Peregrine Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Peregrine Galaxy]].
