Catherine Dormax was an officer in the Rim Worlds Army and the Rift Republican Army of the Rim Provisional Government.
History
A career military officer from a middle-class family, Catherine Dormax was a far cry from the stereotype of a revolutionary. A competent but not exemplary tactician, she'd progressed through the ranks by dogged determination, willing to put in time and effort to make up for her shortcommings. She'd always allowed her sense of morality to guide her actions, and her mix of fairness and forthrightness had earned her the loyalty of the Seventh Amaris Legionnaires. Her troops knew where they stood with her and that she would stand by them. Her moral stance would also bring Catherine Dormax infamy.
Civil War
In 2575 the Seventh were sent to restore order at the Displass 'Mech plant after rioting had broken out. The troublemakers had already smashed a detachment of the Fourth Amaris Dragoons and rather than the police action she expected, Dormax found herself with direct orders from First Consul Amaris to execute everyone in the plant. She refused, and instead put her troops at the disposal of the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government. Dormax's act of defiance sent shockwaves through the Rim Worlds Army, and several other units refused Amaris' orders, effectively turning the situation into civil war.
Though horrified by Amaris' orders, Colonel Dormax was equally dismayed at the anarchy her decision wrought. She became embroiled in RRA politics, a moderate among the hotheads and idealists, but singularly failed to mitigate the more extreme elements of the Provisional Government. She narrowly escaped death in the succession of coups and countercoups among the rebel leadership, eventually meeting her end in the SLDF assault on Apollo. Her body was never recovered, and for several decades after the Reunification War a tale circulated that the ghost of Dormax would return to save the Republic from itself.
Notes
The exact date of Dormax's death is unknown.[1]
