'''Gilda Felra''' was a member of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] during the Late [[Succession Wars]] and into the [[Clan Invasion]].

==History==
In [[3025]], Gilda was a [[Colonel]] in command of the [[4th Donegal Guards]].<ref name=HSTLCp116>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 116, "Trellshire Theater"</ref>  During the [[Fourth Succession War]], she led the 4th in the attacks on [[Harvest]], [[Kirchbach]] and [[Liezen]] during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]].<ref name=NAISATLAS1p126>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 126, "4th Donegal Guards"</ref>

While it is noted that she was a veteran of the [[War of 3039]], it is unknown which unit she commanded nor what battles she participated in at this time.<ref name=WCSp64/>

At some time prior to [[3050]], Gilda was promoted to Hauptmann General and placed in command of the [[25th Arcturan Guards]].<ref name=20YUp26>''20 Year Update'', p. 26, "Tamar Theater"</ref>  While the unit was posted in a quiet sector, she was still in command of the unit when [[Clan Wolf]] attacked her post on [[Sevren]] during [[Operation REVIVAL]].  Under her leadership, the 25th was able to blunt Clan Wolf's initial attacks and not lose any ground.  However, Clan forces would find a weakness in her lines before she could send in reinforcements and the 25th was pushed off of Sevren and moved to [[Colmar]].<ref name=WCSp64>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 64, "Sevren"</ref>  There Gilda and the 25th would encounter [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces.  There she would again find little success due to the previous damage taken while fighting Clan Wolf.  Again, she and her unit was forced to withdrawal.  But, not before helping many Lyran citizens to escape with them.<ref name=ER3052p25/><ref name=JFSp41>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 41, "Colmar"</ref>

When the Clans were stopped by [[Comstar]] at [[Tukayyid]] in [[3052]], she and her 25th Guards were stationed on [[Mkuranga]].<ref name=ORp23>''Objective Raids'', p. 23, "Tharkad Military District"</ref>  From there she pushed the Federated Commonwealth command for permission to launch attacks into the Clan [[Occupation Zone]] to help the citizens trapped there.  Her requests were rebuffed each time.  It is rumored that she and her unit would launch unsanctioned small unit attacks onto Clan occupied worlds.  While this was never verified, it seems likely the attacks occurred.<ref name=ER3052p25>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 25, "Twenty-fifth Arcturan
Guards RCT"</ref>  However, it was confirmed that the 25th was supporting several commando teams behind enemy lines to destabilize the Clan.<ref name=FMLAp61/>

Prior to the [[FedCom Civil War]], Gilda retired or was forced to retire from military life as a [[Leutnant General]].  Many still in the 25th still followed her beliefs and style of leadership when she left.<ref name=FMLAp61>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 61, "25th Arcturan Guards RCT"</ref>
