Revision as of 18:43, 21 June 2012

A former Överste-Löjtnant in the KungsArmé, Cilla Amdahl (b. 3036[1] - d. ????) was one of the senior leaders of the Motstånd group in the 3070s.[2][3]

Character History

Born on the Free Rasalhague Republic world of Last Frontier, Cilla's life was shattered by the Clan Invasion, forced to flee from the advance of Clan Ghost Bear against her homeworld. Her hatred of the invaders and the Bears in particular was only amplified by the loss of her brother Martin, a Fanjunkare in the 1st Freemen who died in the failed defense of Last Frontier. [1] [4] [5] [6]

Entering military training as soon as she was able to seek revenge against the Ghost Bears, Cilla was one of the first cadets accepted into the newly opened Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy in 3056. Entering active service with the 3rd Drakøns just in time to take part in Operation Bulldog, Cilla's actions during that conflict earned her recommendation for officer candidate training, graduating in 3061 Löjtnant in the 1st Tyr.[1]

When Bears response to the Word of Blake Jihad was to annex the seven remaining worlds of the Republic with the acquiescence of its government, Cilla was livid with rage. This betrayal was the start, her attempts to convince her comrades in the 1st Tyr to oppose the merger failing death ears as most where more or less in favor. Refusing to flee the Republic she loved, Cilla declined the offer of departing Precentor to join the withdrawing Com Guards, and was ultimately discharged from the KungsArmé for refusing to participate in the Trials to remain a warrior on the Bear's touman.[1]

Focusing instead on political agitation, Cilla became one of the most vocal resisters against the merger, pening endless volumes of anti-Ghost Bear propaganda, also directing much of her vitrol for those she saw as betraying the Republic such as Christian Månsdottir. While mostly fighting the Bears on political terms, some evidence exists that Cilla had ties to numerous violent protests on former Rasalhague worlds and the KungsArmé mutiny in 3075. Going underground in the wake of the mutiny, with little chance of outside support and continuing intergration of Rasalhague and Bear governments, most assumed she would soon switch from advocating resistance to outright encouraging terrorism.[1]

Following the terrorist bombing conducted by Motstånd on the 31st of December 3078 which struck at the Omni-Paradise Hotel on Alshain and killed 378 civilians - both Rasalhagian and Clan Ghost Bear in origin - as well as several members of the Unity Council and Christian Månsdottir, Cilla and the other leaders of Motstånd were pursued aggressively by the Ghost Bears.[2][3]

As at the 9th of January 3079 Cilla was the last senior member of Motstånd known to still be alive, having narrowly escaped capture by Ghost Bear paramilitary police forces on the Ghost Bear Dominion world of Tinaca.[2][3]
