==History==
+
Heather befriended and (is believed to have) had a love affair with [[Terens Amaris]], a [[Terran Hegemony]] intelligence operative investigating an attempt on the life of the [[Director-General]] [[Jacob Cameron]]. In [[2463]], the heirless First Consul transferred power to Terens and her descendants.<ref name=TPp21>''The Periphery'', p. 21</ref>
On 13 June [[2412]], Heather Durant signed the [[Ares Conventions]] for the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name=ERAWp13>''Era Digest: Age of War'', p. 13</ref>
 
  
In [[2407]], the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] both approached the Republic with offers of alliance after war broke out in the [[Federation of Skye|Skye]] and [[Tamar Pact|Tamar provinces]], to which Durant rejected in favor of official neutrality. As the war spread, the Rim Worlds became the scene of clandestine activities between the Kuritan and Lyran intelligence agencies and Durant saw a means to profit from this. She created the [[AsRoc]] intelligence service to acquire as many military secrets they could intercept and sell them to the highest bidder.<ref name=TPp21>''The Periphery'', p. 21</ref>

{{s-start}}
In [[2451]], Durant befriended and is believed to have had a love affair with [[Terens Amaris]], a [[Terran Hegemony]] intelligence operative investigating an attempt on the life of the [[Director-General]] [[Jacob Cameron]]. Durant offered Amaris' entire family second citizenship in the Rim Worlds Republic and helped them to become established as among the highest-ranking nobles of the Republic.<ref name=HRWp15/><ref name=TPp21/>

{{s-bef|before=[[Michael Durant]]}}
 
+
{{s-title|title=First Consul of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]]|years=???? - [[2463]]}}
When battles started involving [[BattleMech]]s for the first time in [[2459]], the art of war changed and every interstellar government had to develop new battlefield tactics. Lady Durant offered them use of the largely uninhabited nether regions of the Republic to develop and test their new 'Mechs and strategies for a price.<ref name=TPp21/>
+
{{s-aft|after=[[Terens Amaris]]}}
 
+
{{s-end}}
In [[2463]], the heirless First Consul died suddenly of a previously undiagnosed heart condition. Having named Amaris her heir-apparent four years earlier, rule of the Republic transferred to the [[House Amaris|Amaris family]].<ref name=HRWp15/><ref name=TPp21/>
