History

Marantha Calderon (b.25??, d.2596) was Mitchell Calderon's daughter and heir to the Protectorship during the Reunification War. She was married to Peter Carliss and had three children with him. Upon Mitchell's death in 2588 Marantha assumed leadership of her nation as it struggled to resist the Star League invasion forces. Although the Taurian Defense Forces and the civilian guerrillas had fought bravely and cunningly, by 2590 the SLDF had taken all but the Hyades Cluster worlds. [2] Marantha had tried to use more defensive tactics to hold her planets against the invaders but SLDF reinforcements from the conquered Rim Worlds Republic and Outworlds Alliance were too much to resist. Beginning in the spring of 2591 the naval forces of the SLDF probed Flannagan's Nebula and began a five year slog through the hardened defenses of the Cluster. [3].[4]

Death

SLDF Naval forces finally broke through the TDF lines in 2595 and began advancing on the last free worlds of the Taurian Concordat.

Her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered into space.[5] Her death led to the first succession crisis of House Calderon.[6]
