Kimberly Hoskins was a trueborn warrior from Clan Steel Viper.

History[edit]

Kimberly rose to Star Colonel and commanding officer of the 400th Assault in 3057.[1]

By 3065 and until 3067 she was Galaxy Commander of the Alpha Galaxy with Star Colonel Jer Sinclair as her aide.[2][3]

In August of 3073, during the Wars of Reaving, a Clan Coyote fleet led by Khan Silas Kufahl appeared at New Kent, where the Coyote leader issued a Trial of Reaving against Brett Andrews for doing nothing to help the Clans during the mounting crises that gripped the Clan Homeworlds. Andrews killed Kufahl in a Trial fought on the Steel Viper Clan Council floor, a duel that reportedly lasted for no more than five minutes. The ilKhan ordered his intelligence network, headed by Loremaster Stoklas, to find the extent of the damage - which was found to have affected many worlds throughout the Kerensky Cluster. Finding the Ice Hellions to be a particularly weak target, Andrews ordered seizure of many of their holdings on shared worlds such as Hoard, Atreus, and Foster after a hasty vote and agreement between the Steel Vipers and the Snake Alliance to quietly Absorb Clan Ice Hellion. On Hellgate, enclaves that once belonged to Clan Snow Raven were now the domain of several small the Society Cells. After fighting off the Coyotes in orbit, the Steel Vipers would find stiff resistance from the citizens on the ground, cutting off all avenues of approach with a tremendous rock slide, stymieing the efforts of Alpha Galaxy to subdue the enclaves. Galaxy Commander Kimberly Hoskins ordered an orbital bombardment from the recently arrived Congress-class frigate CSV Snake Leader. Before the close of the year, a plague struck dead saKhan Nicole Hoskins and several other Steel Viper warriors from the Hoskins, Tamm and Mercer genetic lines, eventually causing the deaths of ninety thousand lower caste citizens and roughly three Clusters of warriors.[4][5]

It cannot be confirmed if she died like most of her Bloodhouse in 3073, but she would not survive her Clan's Annihilation in 3075.[citation needed]
