The exact date of construction was wiped from every record. However, the Falkenhorst was built with the help of the Red Hessians in the early days of the Weiße Rose cell of the Bundschuh. Stefanie von Falkenberg requested the ship during her time in the Rose as Oberst under Helena Wunderbring's leadership. Sadly, the ship was never fully finished when the unthinkable happened. Helena Wundebring disappeared and Stefanie became the new Generaloberst of the Rose. However, this didn't last long as one of her Obersts, Albert Weiß staged a coup against her. Stefanie disappeared in 825 A.S. The ship was on its way to be delivered to Bruchsal with the hull, engines and core ready when the convoy was attacked by a heavily damaged Archer-Class Siege Cruiser, the Inquisitor.
Former Generaloberst Stefanie von Falkenberg, now part of the Aoi Iseijin as merely Falke, ceased control of her ship and brought both to Valhalla Shipyard where both stayed for a very long time. Unable to received a useful response from Battlegroup Harmony, later the Insurgency, Stefanie scrapped her plans for the Siege Cruiser and her revenge on Generaloberst Albert Weiß. Instead she used the Archer as part-donor for the half-finished Hel, repairing it as good as possible. The ship left Valhalla under Stefanie's command before Rheinland made their move to destroy the shipyard. And destroy it they did.
During that time the ship was under control of the Wild until Stefanie's 'mother', Ashura, engaged with the Vagrants. As fate demanded, Ashura ordered Stefanie to leave for the Taus before she went into her eternal slumber. The ship drifted for years in the Void while Stefanie found herself in a deep state of torpor, disconnected from the mindshare in eternal silence. She was very close to death when the silence was broken by the Abyssal Share of the Vagrants. Ashura re-emerged as Rakshasa, an engram of her former being within the Slomon K'Hara. Her voice echoing, together with the voice of another, Psyche the Dreamer.
The engines roared to life when she awoke. Her 'Mother' changed under the melody of the abyss. A gift granted to her loyal child. The gift of humanity, the gift of free will as long as she does not act against the Collective. She was needed right away for a new mission. The Platform has asked for an envoy of the Collective and she was chosen.
Currently the ship is part of the Platform, an anarchist cell of the Bundschuh. Only very few people among them know who she is, one of them is Civil Servant, a man with a long history. The Falkenhorst is under command of Stefanie von Falkenberg as Falke and her 'sister' Lucia Duval as Chevalier.
Full Name: Lucia Duval de La Vallière Callsign: "Chevalier" Age: 30 Origin: Gallia Status: Active
BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised on Planet New Paris, Lucia grew up in a noble Gallic family, and from a young age took a lively interest in music. Her mother Alice, who was well-known as a musician throughout Gallia, decided to give her lessons in singing and playing the piano. She desired that her daughter should emulate her deeds and start a career as a musician, but Lucia’s father Albert was discontent about his wife’s plans. Having served in the Gallic Royal Navy for a long time, he instead taught different classes to Lucia: Training in melee combat, weapon targeting and, with the help of a simulator, flying ships. The time with her father, together with the training, exhilarated Lucia, and so she trained harder and harder.
Her mother, who had sunk into the depths of depression due to the way Lucia was treated by her father, committed suicide, and that two days before her daughters fourteenth birthday. Albert thought it was wiser to keep the fate of her mother a secret and instead tell her that the Council has sent assassins to kill her. Shattered by the loss of her own mother, and overwhelmed by her emotions, Lucia coped with it in her own way: by training even harder. When she turned eighteen she finally enlisted in the Royal Navy. Without detours, Lucia was quickly assigned to the Battlegroup in Lorraine, instructed to secure the Gallic-Kusarian-Border. True to her training, she managed to destroy dozens of intruders and council pilots during her assignment. Quickly she earned herself a new name, a name that would reap fame amongst both friend and foe: “Chevalier de Lorraine”.
It was 740 A.G.S. when Command transferred her to the Gallic-Libertonian-Bretonian frontline in order to assist in the fight against Gallia’s two biggest mortal enemies. Again she threw herself into the fray in Leeds, New London, Magellan, and even as far as California. Lucia was more and more optimistic that the war would end soon. But it went on.
It was early 741 A.G.S. when a band of Armed Forces pilots succeeded in cornering Lucia in Dublin, outnumbering her two to one. In defiance of the odds, the “Chevalier” defeated them one after the other. Nevertheless, the Bretonians had inflicted heavy damage on her ship and had even managed to crack her canopy. Yet again she gave proof of her art of survival: As by a miracle, she was able to reach Orthez Station in Edinburgh. There she docked but disappeared without any trace the same day. It was only safe to say that her ship never undocked from the station again.
She emerged later as the Chevalier among the Aoi Voilé, a squadron of the Wild. However, she was always different than the others. Ashura, one of the Elders of the Slomon K'Hara, always had an 'eye' on her. She wasn't just a mindless husk like many others. Serving the mindshare for a long time, Lucia continued fighting side by side with the Royal Navy. Her new occupation was that of a Royal Intelligence Officer. Her training during the years never ceased as she continued on, even after Gallia was defeated.
The years passed until Ashura approached her. She gave her one last order before the Elder went into eternal slumber. Lucia did not think twice and disappeared into the Taus aboard a freighter. Hidden among the asteroids with minimal life support, she went into torpor. Slumbering near death for what seemed an eternity, she eventually awoke upon hearing a faint familiar whisper: The voice of the Abyss called for her. Rakshasa, the engram of Ashura, reborn among the Abyss with the help of the Dreamer, Psyche. A gift granted to her loyal child. The gift of humanity, the gift of freedom as long as she does not harm the collective.
As her first order she joined the DSIR of the Gallic National Intelligence to resume her work as an intelligence officer. However, this didn't last long. Soon she was ordered to join her sister Falke onboard the Falkenhorst and assist in her duty as an envoy to the Platform.
One night, Lucia was commanding the Falkenhorst when she met Emilia Freud. After a rather eventful day and growing fascination with the uniqueness of Emilia, she allowed her to dock on the Falkenhorst despite its heavily restricted access. As she laid her eyes on Emilia for the first time she knew the path she would take into her future. The crimson-eyed albino touched her in a way no one ever has before. The spark of humanity deep within her ignited again. It did not take long for the two to fall in love despite Emilia knowing what Lucia really is.
Currently, Lucia or rather Chevalier, is the XO of the Falkenhorst and part of the Platform cell of the Bundschuh movement. Civil Servant asked the Abyssal Mindshare for one of their envoys and she is there to assist her 'sister' Falke who is, just like her, a Wendigo.
OPERATIVE: FALKE
Full Name: Stefanie von Falkenberg Callsign: "Falke" Age: 32 Origin: Rheinland Status: Active
BIOGRAPHY
Stefanie was born on Planet New Berlin in 804 into an aristocratic military family. Her father was a Hauptmann of the Rheinwehr, and her mother worked for Republican Shipping. Her early life was a nightmare. Her parents didn't care about her at all. She was mostly by herself during the first four years. She was raised by the maid their parents employed. Everything changed when her father went missing when she turned eight. Her mother took Stefanie with her on that day to her workplace on Alster Shipyard where she left her alone, all by herself again and disappeared. The young Stefanie was wandering around on the station, crying most of the time. After several hours alone on Alster, she was found by a young mechanic. The woman took the traumatized girl with her and raised her like her own daughter. She never found out what happened to her parents.
When Stefanie turned 16, she left Helena without a word. Stefanie heard many positive things about the Red Hessians, so she decided to join them. She stole an old Shuttle and ran away. During her years within the Hessians, she learned how to fight, inside and outside the cockpit. When she turned 18, she was finally allowed to pilot her own ship: an Odin class very heavy fighter of the Hessians. Stefanie enjoyed the life and the action she had as a member of the Red Hessians. During the following years, she defended the home systems of the Hessians against many intruders: mainly Corsair, Marinenachrichtendienst or Rheinwehr ships.
In 824 A.S, Stefanie heard rumors about a newly founded Bundschuh movement, led by a woman called Helena Wunderbring. It took her several days until she flew her Odin to Bruchsal to meet Helena: her life-saver. Stefanie was happy to see Helena again, and she decided to stay by her side to found Die Weiße Rose with her. After several talks with the Red Hessians, Stefanie was allowed to transfer to the Bundschuh movement with her Odin and the Heimdall class Gunboat, now known as WKB-Midgard. During her time in the Weiße Rose, she acted mostly shy towards the other members. This changed as soon as Tanya von Degurechaff joined the movement. It only took around four months for them to fall in love with each other.
On one day, she met a woman called Vanessa Vogt on Bruchsal who recently joined the movement. A rather peculiar woman in Stefanie's mind despite her acting rather strange most of the time. Miss Vogt disappeared after only two months, and she wasn't the only one. Generaloberst Helena Wunderbring disappeared as well. The young Stefanie was forced to take over the movement, but just for around two months. In 825 A.S, Stefanie was on her way with the Midgard to the Order in Omicron Mu to install new engines. During her visit there, her former Oberst Albert Weiß used the opportunity to stage a coup against her. Hearing this news, she hurried back, but never managed to come even close to home. As she arrived in Omicron Delta, a known face appeared, Vanessa Vogt. Curious about why she left and if she knew anything about what was going on with the Rose, she followed her. A grave mistake. The moment Vanessa stepped foot on the ship to talk with Stefanie, the trap snapped shut and Stefanie was no longer. The Midgard had fallen, no survivors were ever found. Just one person seemed to have survived this. The ship she previously asked for to be built, her Hel-Class Cruiser was only half-way done during that time.
Stefanie emerged as a Wild. However, something was odd about her. She drew the keen eye of several individuals her way. One of them was an Elder of the Slomon K'Hara, Ashura. Another one was Enma Loyola. First part of the The Wilde and later on the Aoi Iseijin, Falke has proven herself over and over again. During the following months she was seen flying for Battlegroup Harmony in an attempt to get her hands on an Archer-Class Siege Cruiser. That plan sooner or later succeeded to a certain point. The Inquisitor was a heavily damaged Siege Cruiser she managed to recover from the battlefields in Bering. It was able to fly, it was able to fire. That was enough for her in the end. Hearing the rumors about a certain Hel being transferred from Dresden to Frankfurt for the Bundschuh, she managed to intercept the small convoy with a small crew and her damaged cruiser, ceasing control of the ship and bringing both of them to Valhalla Shipyard.
As she was not a mere mindless drone or husk, she drew the attention of Loyola towards her. That attention slowly turned into a certain kind of affection but such didn't last long. Enma disappeared. Falke simply turning cold at this point, she did not feel much except for a fain feeling of loss. Seeing no hope in repairing the Siege Cruiser, she salvaged most of it, using the spare parts to finish the remaining construction of the Hel. An abomination of Rheinland and Liberty technology, the Falkenhorst emerged and left Valhalla Shipyard and not a day too soon.
The destruction of Valhalla Shipyard marked the end of her current journey. Ashura, the Elder that had her eye on her for a long time, ordered her into the Taus. That was her last order before she fell into an eternal slumber. Stefanie hid on her ship, completely alone with minimal life support, deep inside the asteroid fields of the Tau-Sector. She fell into a deep state of torpor. Several years later, she was awoken by a faint whisper: The Abyss was calling for her and there was a very familiar voice. It was Ashura, or rather, the engram of Ashura, reborn among the Abyss as Rakshasa. She called for her to return to her arms, and that she did. Stefanie flew deeper into the Taus, into the Abyss. In the end she emerged reborn, as a Wendigo. A gift granted by Rakshasa to retain her humanity and free will until she would find herself acting against the Abyss and the Collective.
A new mission was granted to her. Civil Servant, a well known individual among the collective has asked the Abyss for an envoy. She was chosen to be that envoy. The Falkenhorst arrived with a fresh crew of Wendigo Thralls and Vagrant loyalists at Bruchsal. Entrance to the ship was highly restricted to the point it was completely forbidden. Under heavy restrictions, Stefanie now serves the Platform as a direct link to the Vagrants. Needing help in the end, she called for her dear Wendigo Sister, Lucia or rather Chevalier to come and assist her onboard the Falkenhorst.
Some dates might be messed up as it was a long time ago. Their journeys began in 2017/18. There is also that little issue with the table. It looks pretty, just read it in full screen <3
