Star Colonel Britta Shaw was the commanding officer of the Seventh Battle Cluster from Clan Wolf from 2833 to at least 2834.[2][1]

History[edit]

Operation KLONDIKE[edit]

Shaw was a founding member of Clan Wolf and the Shaw Bloodname. As such, she participated in Operation KLONDIKE, ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky's campaign to reconquer the Pentagon Worlds.[3]

Widowmaker Absorption[edit]

In 2834, during the Widowmaker Absorption, the Third Battle Cluster from Clan Widowmaker defended Point Sanders in the Dratha Headlands on Dagda. When the Seventh Battle Cluster of Clan Wolf, the 1015th Burrock Guards, and the First Falcon Striker moved against them the Third issued challenges of duels. Star Colonel Britta Shaw ordered her command to honor the duels. She was surprised these supposed traitors had an ounce of honor. As the fighting continued it became clear that the Third were winning far more duels than they were losing, forcing Shaw to abandon zellbrigen. The duels broke down into a melee with Star Colonel Maria Isaac and Shaw's 'Mechs wrestling with each other atop the headland's cliffs. A wild shot sent both Commanders over the cliff edge to their deaths. At this the rest of the Third broke and were quickly destroyed.[1]
