===Early Years===
+
Prior to her marriage she served in the [[SLDF]] ''[[Nimitz (Individual Vengeance-class DropShip)|Nimitz]]'' [[Vengeance]]-class [[DropShip]].<ref name="SLp57">''The Star League'', p. 57, "A Fortunate Marriage"</ref>
[[Duchess]] Katarina Mann was considered a beautiful and intelligent woman whose family lineage could be traced back to the [[fifteenth century]]. She was born and raised on her family's estate outside Magdeburg in northern Germany. She graduated from the [[War Academy of Mars]] where she became a superb aerospace pilot, a capable officer, and a scholar of ancient European history. The duchess was also proficient in karate.<ref name=SLp57/>
 
 
 
Mann was assigned to the [[Thirty-fourth Fleet Aero Wing]] aboard the ''[[Vengeance (DropShip class)|Vengeance]]''-class [[DropShip]] [[Nimitz (Individual Vengeance-class DropShip)|''Nimitz'']], which was attached to the [[49th Naval Flotilla (SLDF)|Forty-ninth Naval Flotilla]].<ref name=SLp57/> They were part of the show of force the [[Star League]] sent to the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] border in early [[2651]] to put pressure on [[Tadeo Amaris]] and his political ambitions, who had doubled the size of the Rim World's military in a mere three months, ultimately prevailing when Amaris disbanded his extra [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s.<ref name=ER2750-26>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 26: "Honeymoon"</ref><ref name=SLp56>''The Star League'', pp. 56–57: "Council Edict of 2650"</ref>
 
 
 
Mann's military career was cut short when her father passed away in [[2653]] and she returned to [[Terra]] to assume her father's position as the political and economic leader in her home region. She coaxed several major defense industries into building factories there, sparking a boom in the regional economy. Mann first met First Lord Michael Cameron on his visit to one of these factories.<ref name=SLp57/>
 
 
 
===Marriage to Cameron===
 
Katarina Mann and Michael Cameron dated for several years and their courtship was followed by the entire [[Terran Hegemony]]. In [[2659]], they became engaged, and their marriage took place in the Christian Cathedral at the [[Court of the Star League]]. The medieval-styled ceremony was remembered as one of the grandest pageants in League history.<ref name=SLp57/>
 
 
 
The married couple embarked on a two-year tour of the entire [[Inner Sphere]] aboard the First Lord's private [[JumpShip]], escorted by a fleet of both military and private vessels. They visited all five member states and the four [[Periphery]] territories and charmed the nobility and public wherever they went. Both the economy and political relations benefited from the voyage.<ref name=SLp57/>
 
 
 
The couple eventually settled down on Terra, where after an adjustment period, owing to Mann's reluctance to put her responsibilities as First Lady over other concerns, she became the First Lord's closest advisor and voice for caution and peace during the coming crises.<ref name=SLp57/>
