The Story of Claire Chandler - Printable Version

Claire was born on Planet Curacao within the Cortez system with her parents. She was put through school and college.

When she turned 16, her father bought Claire her very first ship. It was a freighter class. Claire’s dad taught her how to fly this freighter, he would be her assistance.
From that moment, when she got older, he showed her the smaller, nimble, agile and deadlier vessels. The Very Heavy Fighters.

Claire’s dad was a member of Orbital Spa and Cruise, and that is how comes the Chandler family could afford to live on Planet Curacao.

When she turned 18, her parents gave her enough money to purchase any Heavy Fighter she wanted. Not only enough money to purchase a Very Heavy Fighter but also to move away from home.

From that moment on Claire became a Freelancer and ended up within the Tau’s. In the Tau’s she came across a Mining Guild known as the Independent Miners Guild. After some time she joined there Guild and became an escort and security pilot in her Raven’s Talon.

While being a security pilot for the Miners Guild, Claire came across a met a few Crayter Republic pilots. After some time Claire felt confident flying alongside both the Miners Guild and the Crayter Paramilitary pilots.

After a few years passed, Claire got together a little bit of money storage away for emergencies. But there was a threat moving into the Tau’s. The Gallic Royal Navy. They started forcing their way through the Tau’s hitting every target they possibly could. That is when she noticed it was no longer safe, so she returned to Planet Curacao and was informed about some terrifying news.

The news she was given was that both of her parents was killed in the Sigmas, fighting and supporting the Gas Miners Guild against the Outcasts. It broke her heart. She felt lost, empty, alone. Times were tough for her. After 6 months passed, Claire knew she had to move on with life after having support from a few close friends.

After those 6 months passed, there was an application within the Crayter Republic and it was from Claire Chandler. She was 21 years old and was in search for revenge.
She was later accepted into the Crayter Military. Her role was to fly and support Tau 44 from the Gallic Force that was like a stampede. Destroying everything and everyone that stood in their way.

Once completing her Warrant Officer period, she progressed through the ranks becoming a Lieutenant.

Not only her talent but her tactician and strategic mind which was proven within Tau 44 and the Taus. Claire was promoted to Captain and Colonel. She became the 52nd Squadron Leader after showing interest to that squadron.

The 52nd Squadron where both for old and new pilots. They stood together and fought long and hard against the Gallic armada. After losing Tau 44 to the Gallic Force, things slowly changed for the Republic.

The Gallic Force continued the destruction through the Taus and ended up conquering Leeds. This is when the 52nd Highlanders Squadron was informed to pull back to Magellan and New London.

After months of Bretonia and the Crayter Military fighting the wrath of the devastating Royalists.

Leeds was fallen. There was little hope remaining.

The 15th Hell’s Angels squadron was based in and around Planet Curacao, the home of Claire Chandler. The Parliament and leadership of the Republic thought this would be a better choice for Claire due to the stress and the loss of wing men and women within Leeds. Not only that but the loss of her family too.

Not long after the transfer she took over the Warrant Officer training and took the newest officers and recruits through training and making sure they were fight to fight for the Republic. After showing her true self to the leadership. She was later promoted to Major and Commodore.

Major was an important rank, you had to have excellent leadership skills but combat abilities also.

A Major was one of the senior officers who may command and entire squadron into battle. There was only one person who could give him or her direct orders. That was the Admiral. A Major would lead the Crayterians into any fighter or bomber situation that occurred. The Admiralty was very wary about this promotion to Claire. They were not 100% sure if it was a good choice or not. But they gave it to her, they also gave her a promotion to Commodore at the same time. This gave her a similar role to Major but gave her access to the Gunboat and Cruiser classed Vessels. She would have to command not a fighter or bomber wing, but a whole crew as well. It was a big challenge and Claire accepted the challenge and took both promotions she was offered.

Until this day. Claire is showing a strong leader. The Crayter Republic are proud to have her as a member.
