History
Sarah Blair was a MechWarrior in service to the Federated Commonwealth prior to 3065. In late 3065, Sarah was serving as a Captain in the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars RCT during the battles for control over the world of Cassias. Hauptmann-General Kev Evans, the Commanding Officer of the RCT, managed to end five months of mobile defensive actions on the 12th of November, taking up a defensive line against the forces of the Fifth Sword of Light and Ryuken-go at the base of the Romen Mountains. The centre of Evans' defensive position was the Callas Line, a series of entreched fortifications that had been constructed in the past by a combination of the planetary militia and the Third Crucis Lancers.[1]
After the initial DCMS attack on Evans' position had been thrown back, Tai-sa Davis Shotoku of the Ryuken-go led elements of his command on a flanking attack that led them into direct combat with the Third Battalion of the Seventeenth. The Commanding Officer of the Third Battalion, Major Chad Thomas, was killed in the first few minutes of the battle, and Sarah assumed command of the battalion from the cockpit of her Bushwacker. Sarah's leadership led to the Third throwing back repeated attacks by the Ryuken-go, and gun camera footage from the engagement showed Blair trading fire with Shotoku's Hatamoto-Chi.[1]
The heavy losses taken by the DCMS forces in what was known as the Battle of Callas changed the campaign for control of Cassias, allowing Evans to inflict further losses over the next several weeks as the RCT applied pressure to the Fifth Sword and the Ryuken-go. With the prospect of defeat looking, Shotoku assembled two companies of volunteers for an all-out attack on the Seventeenth, an attack he launched on the 31st of January 3066. Shotoku's 'Mech was downed during the resulting battle, and recordings of the battle showed that while Shotoku was engaged by three different Hussars 'Mechs, it was Sarah who was responsible for the final blow, her accurate ranged strikes felling Shotoku. The Combine forces subsequently gave up the battle for control of the planet on the 6th of February.[1]
