History[edit]
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 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 First Rasalhague Drakøns, Anika followed her.
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.
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.[1]
The next year, Janssen was transferred to the 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.
When Khan Ward allowed those members of his force unwilling to suffer exile to leave, Anika was one of them. She joined ComStar, and was assigned to units defending Free Rasalhague Republic.
In 3058, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht transferred Anika to the Explorer Corps, where her knowledge of the Clans would be useful. She was assigned as base aerospace commander and advisor to the Corps analysis staff of a Periphery base, Fort Columbus.[1]
Physical Description[edit]
Anika was known to have delicate features, with long blonde hair and steel blue eyes. As she lost most of her friends in the Clan Invasion, she was reluctant to make more. Beside the pilots under her command, the only Columbus personnel she associated with were Tai-sa Haruka Otanashi and Precentor Padraig O Bhaoil. Despite her ComStar Precentor rank, she wore a mixture of her old Rasalhague pilot uniform and clothing from her time with Clan Wolf.[2]
Vehicles[edit]
Anika piloted a Shilone fighter during the Clan Invasion while in service with the Free Rasalhague Republic.[3]
