==Notable Actions==
 
===Invasion of Achernar===
 
===Invasion of Achernar===
During the invasion of [[Achernar]], Xera was under the command of another trueborn pilot who was killed in action during the opening hostilities.  With the death of her commanding officer, she believed that she was the rightful heir to become commander of the fighter wing; unfortunately for her, another pilot named Drake believed that he was to become the new CO. In a one-sided [[Trial of Position]], Xera was able to overcome her opponent and became the new commanding officer of the invasion force's fighters.<ref>''A Call to Arms'', p. 97</ref>

For the rest of the invasion, Xera and her fighters were able to keep air dominance for the Steel Wolves.  Once the order to return to the DropShips was given, she and the remaining pilots boarded the ships and left Achernar.

===Steel Wolves' Commander===
+
==Notes==
Xera followed Anastasia for years, until she dissolved the unit, to create a [[mercenary]] one. Then, she, with [[Varnoff Fetladral]], recreated the Steel Wolves. She remained Varnoff's second in command until [[New Canton]]. When he uncovered his treachery, intending tobetray and kill Anastasia, she ousted him and his loyalists, becoming the Steel Wolves' commander. For years, she kept the unit moving, searching a purpose and a home.<ref>''Unit Digest: Steel Wolves'' p.64</ref>
+
Early in her career as Star Commander and Star Captain during the Achernar campaign she was known to fly an ''[[Visigoth]]''.
  
===Mercenary Commander===
+
As Star Colonel and later Galaxy Commander, she commanded a ''[[Titan (Dropship)|Titan]]'' Class Aerospace Carrier, the ''Roofvogel'' and used it as her [[Cluster]] flagship. In personal combat she piloted a ''[[Scytha]]'' [[OmniFighter]].
Eventually, as it became evident thyan the [[Clan Wolf]] won't accept them into their fold, Xera had to swallow her pride and turn the Steel Wolves into a mercenary unit too, working exclusively for the [[Free Worlds League]]. About 3152, she seek to claim Wolves' ''bondsmen'' to reinforce the Clan's influence into the group. At the dawn of [[IlClan Era]], she heard news about Varnoff: he had became a [[pirate]], creating a pirate gang which he called the [[Wolfkin Keshik]], but she, despite wanting to take him down, she refused to broke her contract with the League to do so. While she prefered to lead her unit from her fighter, often she commanded from their flagship.<ref>''Unit Digest: Steel Wolves'' p.65-66</ref>
