History
Martha Zuritas' early career was spent in the employ of a minor mercenary company, the Black Dogs. During a layover on Oceana, she and the unit's commander got into a verbal altercation that ended with Zuritas killing her with a knife. The rest of the unit, enraged, attacked her en masse, an assault which left her grievously injured, lynched, and left for dead by the mercenaries. After extensive reconstructive surgery which significantly changed her appearance (she left a few scars on her cheek and the rope burn marks around her neck as a reminder of her ordeal), she hunted down the Black Dogs and under an assumed identity rejoined the unit. Shortly after, she claimed her revenge by committing a mass shooting that left the entirety of the unit dead.[2]
After her massacre of the Black Dogs, Zuritas at some point joined the Free Worlds League Military, enlisting in the Silver Hawk Irregulars, working her way up the ranks and earning the nickname "Slice 'n' Dice".
Zuritas led the Silver Hawks’ Gryphons regiment on successful raids to both Alioth and Cor Caroli in July through September of 3039. Six days after their occupation of Alioth began, they were paid a levy to leave by the local authorities, in whole or in large part with sun guava produce.[3] Authorities of Cor Caroli initially refused to bribe the unit, however, after a month and under the threat of damage to their industry, the authorities conceded. With this success and increased wealth, the Gryphons returned home.[4]
General Martha Zuritas was given overall command of the Silver Hawk Irregulars in 3047, where she began implementing the Captain-General's reforms. These efforts were somewhat successful: The Irregulars kept their regional loyalties, but their overall field performance improved through standardized supply and training.[1]
