===Maskirovka Intelligence Director===

===Early Life===
Initially, Sasha Wanli assumed the role of Intelligence Director in the wake of Director Shang’s assassination in [[3052]]. The new Chancellor, Sun Tzu Liao, would keep her in this position over the next three years until her degrading health forced her into retirement. The office was relinquished to [[Dina Ferrara]] as Interim Director in [[3055]], though her tenure would be cut short by her execution that same year for conducting rogue operations.<ref name="ToA1"></ref><ref name=IOHp80>''Intelligence Operations Handbook'', p. 80</ref>

Sasha was born on
  
Rather than select yet another new candidate for the directorship, Chancellor Liao elected to call former-Director Wanli out of retirement.<ref name="ToA1"></ref> She would continue to serve as Director of the Maskirovka during Sun Tzu’s term as First Lord of the Star League and throughout the ''[[Xin Sheng]]'' period.<ref name="ToA">''Threads of Ambition''</ref>

===Maskirovka Directress===

Initially, Sasha Wanli assumed the role of director in the wake of Director Shang’s assassination. The new Chancellor, Sun Tzu Liao, would keep her in this position for #years until her degrading health forced her into retirement. The office was relinquished to (successor) as Interim Director in 30##.
  
===''Xin Sheng'' Campaign===
+
(successor’s) tenure was short-lived, however, due to his execution in 30## for conducting rogue operations. Rather than select yet another new candidate for the directorship, Chancellor Liao elected to call former-Director Wanli out of retirement.<ref name="ToA1">''Threads of Ambition'', p. 5</ref> She would continue to serve as Director of the Maskirovka during Sun Tzu’s term as First Lord of the Star League and well into the Xin Sheng period.<ref name="ToA">''Threads of Ambition''</ref>

===Xin Sheng Campaign===
 
Director Wanli struggled during her second tenure as the Maskirovka’s Director for a combination of reasons. In addition to her troubled health, the requirements of state expanded somewhat suddenly with the Chancellor’s election as First Lord of the Star League. With this office came additional responsibilities, implying increased burdens on all Capellan state functions. Furthermore, cooperation with the other great houses to counter the [[Clan Invasion]] brought as much secrecy as it did shared understanding, causing secondary effects that would hinder Direction Wanli’s service to the Chancellor.<ref name="ToA2">''Threads of Ambition'', p. 1-10</ref>

While Sasha’s administration of the Maskirovka was not flawed per-say, she would commit an unprecedented number of ‘mistakes’ as Intelligence Director that threatened her survival. Fortunately, she would be spared greater judgment due to her unwavering loyalty and otherwise satisfactory service to the state, though it is also possible that the Chancellor simply could not afford to vacate the Maskirovka’s directorship amid ''Xin Sheng''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s infancy.
