Frances Marrion was a student on Verthandi and later a rebel leader during the popular uprising there in 3025.[1]
History
When a popular uprising began on Verthandi against the occupying Draconis Combine in 3025, Frances Marrion quit her art studies at the University of Regis and joined the rebels.
In the first month of the rebellion, she led a group of rebels that captured the Monitor-class, Vengeance at Port Gaspin. She renamed the vessel Swamp Fox and for the next four months raided Combine installations through the Silvan Basin. Her and her crew's actions helped the rebels gain almost complete control of the area.
However, her actions gained her a lot of attention. To put down the rebellion on Verthandi, the Combine sent in massive reinforcements. Their prime target was the destruction of the Swamp Fox and Frances Marrion. The Combine forces lured the rebels in with a supply depot stationed near the river. When the Swamp Fox moved in to attack, four BattleMechs that had been underwater emerged to engage the ship. Despite a valiant resistance, that destroyed two Combine Marauders and crippled a Shadow Hawk, the Swamp Fox, Frances Marrion and her crew were destroyed.[1]
