History[edit]
Early Life[edit]
An accountant and reservist on Northwind before the Blackout, Francis' family had served with the Northwind Hussars before they were decommissioned, under the Republic of the Sphere. Once HPG communication was lost, Francis immediately enlisted with the Northwind Fusiliers, swearing her fealty to Countess Tara Campbell. With her training as an accountant, and keenly analytical mind, she assisted the newly forming Fusiliers to streamline their logistics. As a MechWarrior, she had superb piloting skills, though was otherwise average.[1]
As of 3132, Francis was assigned to a Scout Lance, under the command of Maryam Moreno.[3] In this role, she preferred maintaining her distance and flanking, only engaging isolated enemy hostiles.[1]
Algol[edit]
With the Northwind Hussars, Francis fought against the Capellan Confederation's Warrior House Dai Da Chi on Algol. This included the initial fighting for the Algol DropPort in Algol City, together with fellow Highlander Alyson Pelayo.[4] Following this engagement, she also fought in the ruins of an old AFFS Munitions Depot near Groffer’s Toll, against enemies including Vincent Altman. In this engagement, Francis had to fight off Fa Shih battle armor, who were swarming her compatriots.[2]
BattleMech[edit]
Francis was known to have piloted a Valiant BattleMech, serial number RS153-61B, nicknamed "Shadow Fox". Built for Republic of the Sphere militia in the 3120s, this 'Mech was deployed on Northwind, but was almost exclusively used for parade drills and training exercises.[1][2]
