===Early life and career===
 
===Early life and career===
 
Samantha in her youth was fiery and suffered the misconception that she was a subject of sexual discrimination, due to her lack of promotions and not being honored for accomplishments. As her military career continued, she became abusive towards her male superiors, whom she felt were holding her back.  She eventually earned chance at earning a [[Bloodname]], but she was defeated by a female MechWarrior. After the fight, her victorious opponent spoke to her and revealed that her lack of discipline was the true reason for her lack of accomplishment in her career.

She would finally step down as Galaxy Commander of Delta, giving command to her saKhan, who had been informally commanding the unit for a decade. Samantha then took command of the rebuilt [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]].  She prioritized the Turkina Keshik, [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Epsilon]], and Delta Galaxies for new equipment over other frontline and secondary units that otherwise would need it due to their deployment to the frontlines.  Among other efforts to rebuild, Samantha allowed occupied worlds not known for rebellion to form vehicle/infantry level militias in efforts to bolster her Clan's worlds.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 136</ref>
