Biography
A Hell's Horses Ristar, Tanya DeLaurel rapidly rose to take command of the Horses' renown Alpha Galaxy. Her leadership, tactical abilities, and most of all success against the Ghost Bears on Niles in 3046 brought her to the attention of Malavai Fletcher. Personally chosen to be his saKhan, her level-headed nature tempered the more chaotic nature of her Khan. Though known to have a Crusader mindset, her reserve put her in sharp contrast with the more unstable Fletcher.[2]
In 3061, seeing the need for a DropShip capable of transporting the combined arms troops of the Horses, saKhan DeLaurel commissioned the new and innovative Outpost-class vessel. This vessel saw use during the Hell's Horses' first incursion into the Inner Sphere—an incursion rumored to have been brokered by the calm and persuasive saKhan. The pact formed with Clan Wolf, however, eventually ended in failure. The poor leadership of Khan Fletcher resulted in the Horses' expulsion from the Inner Sphere, with Fletcher himself losing both the Khanship and his life to the ambitions of James Cobb. Even so, DeLaurel's reputation and abilities kept her in her position of saKhan within her Clan.
Khanship and Death
Continuing as SaKhan during the tumultuous Wars of Reaving, Tanya DeLaurel assisted Khan James Cobb in planning for the Horse's return to the Inner Sphere. Elected as Khan in 3081, DeLaurel only led the Hell's Horses for a handful of years before falling in combat on Bruben during a Clan Wolf Trial of Possession. [3]
BattleMechs
Originally known for her Ghost Bear-built Mad Dog salvaged from the battlefields of Niles, DeLaurel claimed the first Balius to emerge from its production lines. Her skill and ability at the helm of the quad BattleMech impressed the capabilities of the machine onto the Warriors of her Clan, helping to increase its popularity and usage.
