Biography
Early Life
Born into a Capellan community on Eden after that world's colonization by the Exodus Fleet, Laura's mother, Anita Payne, had been an SLDF war hero during the liberation of Terra. With this background, Laura was taught from early childhood to disdain the Great Houses and venerate the Star League.[1] [2]
After the Pentagon Worlds collapsed into civil war, Payne's staunchly pro-Star League rearing made her a strong supporter of Nicholas Kerensky and the new society he was forging. Her warrior skills secured for Laura a place in Clan Fire Mandrill's touman, where she earned the rank of saKhan. Kerensky, for his part, was mostly reliant upon older veterans to carry out his vision - most of the first Clan Khans were in their fifties or older - and saw in Laura one of the younger generation who could ease the transition between the old SLDF and the new Clans.[1]
Operation Klondike
Unfortunately, Nicholas Kerensky's confidence in Payne would prove over-optimistic. Payne's very youth and energy caused friction with the Mandrill's senior Khan, Raymond Sainze, and the two were at odds from the outset of Operation Klondike.
