Her captors made a grave mistake. Until her trial, she was to be kept on the [[LPI Sugarland]], which was not properly equipped to handle prisoners sporting military-grade augmentations and training. With a bit of bribery and a lot of brute force as well as the support of a Liberty Military Gunboat crewed by 3 48th FORECON platoons, she was able to inflict grave damage onto the station and to escape along with 38 other prisoners which stormed one of the Sugarland's docking bays and took over a large number of police spaceships. The LPI stopped the revolt by depressurizing multiple sectors of the station. 240 prisoners as well as 29 LPI officers died during the uprisings.

She and the rogue 48th went underground for two months, only to return to lawful space on the 22nd of January, the day she should have been tried by the Supreme Court on Manhattan. Assisted by a few Xenos and mercenaries as well as the soldiers that defected with her, she was able to smuggle a tactical nuke into the Court Building's basement, detonating it at approximately 1432 hours and then storming the building, she effectively used what has been thought to her to fight the enemies of Liberty against her own government.

At first, Ceyes thought to have found herself a new home in [[Omega-52]] - but she soon realized that what the SCRA was telling her was the same propaganda she has already heard in Liberty, just promoting a different leadership. Yet, she played along, even receiving a promotion in late '16 and forming a friendship with SCRA pilots Katya Vaschenko and Yue Fei, but after a few months, she couldn't stand it anymore. The SCRA was just as corrupted as Liberty, if not more - so she decided to reclaim the 48th's Gunboat, and made a - succesful - run for the House she was born in, where she and her crew are now using the Gunboat as a mobile base of operations, occasionally hiring a Merc or Zoner to resupply them.

Mireille Justine Ceyes, born 23 July 783), is a former Liberty Marine Corps Colonel and the leader of the Sons of Liberty movement, a terrorist ring best known for the '16 Liberty Supreme Court bombing and other high-profile acts of destruction. She currently ranks number 8 on the LSF's Top Ten Most Wanted List. Although frequently seen leading various operations of her organization, LSF analysts yet have to pin down her exact HQ and it is believed that she is constantly on the move to evade House authorities.

Early life

Ceyes was born in Washington, Planet Manhattan. Her father Henry Snider was a Liberty Army Brigadier General before his death in 816 A.S.; her mother, Nicole Ceyes, is a wealthy Senator and businesswoman.

Ceyes, the sole child of her parents, grew up in a conservative, highly pro-government-oriented family. Apart from a court process over a killing in self-defense, her pre-military life was a largely undisturbed one. She attended various private elementary and high schools and graduated from West Point Military Academy in 805 A.S. with magna cum laude.

Career and life in the Liberty Marine Corps

Allegedly due to the influence of her father, Ceyes quickly climbed through the Army's ranks, and she was promoted to the rank of Colonel after only 10 (instead of the usual 18-20) years of service. Despite her high rank however she was still actively engaged in field operations; being in command of the LMC's 48th Forward Reconnaissance Battalion she was part of many recent conflicts in which special operation forces were involved. Ceyes herself cites her overly quick career as a sign of corruption in Liberty, while LSF analysts frequently blame the rapid growth of responsibility she was unable to handle for her defection to the SCRA.

Not only her career was subject of dispute however. After an incident involving her and a Nomad specimen near Maine, her mental stability and integrity were deemed questionable and she was accused of being unfit for duty as well as cooperation with Order agents multiple times. None of those accusations led to a conviction, but the LSF still believes that Ceyes's past and present actions were and are partly backed by the Order.

Operation Burning Star

While the reason for Ceyes's defection is subject of many debates among analysts, it is commonly agreed upon that one of it's main causes was her participation in the now-declassified and highly controversial Operation Burning Star. Together with 1st Combat Application Group Operators and 6 LSF Paramilitary Officers, she and 2 Platoons of the 48th FORECON Batallion were ordered to take out a hidden SCRA enclave on Planet Manhattan.

The operation proceeded well, until Ceyes herself was ordered to shoot the leader of the terrorists, which already had surrendered to her peacefully. Instead of executing her unarmed prisoner, she opened fire upon the LSF agent who ordered the killing. Trying to extract the terrorist leader, who by then had convinced her and - with Ceyes's help - most of her squadmates to switch sides, she shot three further operatives (lethally wounding two of them) before getting incapacitated in a utility tunnel she tried to use as a escape route.

Escape from the Sugarland

In what would later be described as a "grave mistake" by an unnamed LSF agent, Ceyes was not shot on the spot however like standard protocols dictate; instead, she was imprisoned at the LPI Sugarland and given the status of an Unlawful Combatant.

The Sugarland however was not properly equipped to handle prisoners sporting military-grade augmentations and training, and it's jailers weren't trained to handle high profile criminals either. After a series of incidents involving Outcast slavers, a nearly killed prison guard and two dead prisoners, she managed to get into contact with her escaped ex-squadmates who agreed to free her. Staging a prison revolt, her comrades were able to extract her aboard a stolen Liberty Gunship (which is still believed to be in her possession today). When the LPI finally depressurized the sector the revolt was taking place, 243 prisoners and 29 LPI officers died.

Bombing of the Liberty Supreme Court Building

From there on, Ceyes led a bloody guerilla war against the Liberty government. Recruiting a force of Xenos, mercenaries and disgruntled citizens, she founded the first generation of the Sons of Liberty she committed multiple acts of terrorism including the infamous detonation of a tactical nuclear warhead above the Liberty Supreme Court Building almost completely eradicating it and a nearly-successful attempt on destroying an Embassy Liner sent to Liberty from Bretonia to discuss the terms of the Treaty of Curacao.

Ceyes as a SCRA agent

In late 817 A.S., Ceyes was contacted by a Commissar serving the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army and subsequently recruited. The command over the Sons of Liberty was entrusted to Jonathan White, one of her unit's former officers.

At first, Ceyes believed to have found new allies for her cause. While she did not completely agree with all the SCRA's prime doctrines, she thought them to be much better than the current situation. Thus, she began working for the Coalition, forming a friendship with pilots Katya Vaschenko and Yue Fei and eventually even earning herself a promotion, despite her skeptic nature towards the Sirius Coalition's goals. Her existence as SCRA soldier did not last for long, however: in 817 A.S., she defected again and returned to her home, re-assuming command of the Sons of Liberty, now with a new enemy, which she claimed to be just as corrupt if not more so than the Liberty government itself.

Split between her desire to fight for the "right cause" and the brain washing she was subjected to by both Liberty and the SCRA, Ceyes's actions are hardly predictable. While she has robbed and killed in cold blood, she is known to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, preferring to convince her enemies to join her crusade instead of just opening fire. She truly believes in freedom and violently opposes the - in her opinion - corrupt government of Liberty and it's agents, but that does not stop her from showing mercy to the one or other officer she believes to be a "good guy". Regardless, Ceyes is highly dangerous, heavily armed and not without support in her fight against Liberty (and, in a lesser degree, the other House governments), and contact should be avoided at all costs.
