Captain Gloria Hansen was a former Knight of the Sphere, and later Republic Remnant MechWarrior, during the Dark Age Era.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

A Knight of the Sphere until the raising of Fortress Republic in 3135, at which time Hansen renounced her title due to bitterness at Exarch Jonah Levin abandoning the Republic worlds beyond the wall, and joined the small Republic Remnant forces with the rank of Captain.

In 3144 on Chertan, Hansen led her Company in defending a Trial of Possession declared by Clan Wolf for a pair of leased Union-class DropShips, defeating a Wolf Guards Binary commanded by a Star Captain Alfredo. Alfredo however taunted Hansen while departing, insultingly suggesting the Wolves had merely suffered from poor luck. Incensed, as well as hoping to raise the Remnant's reputation with the Wolves, Hansen demanded a Trial of Grievance against Alfredo. In the ensuing one-on-one duel, Hansen was able to cut Alfredo off near the edge of their Circle of Equals, and despite suffering from radiation exposure from a damaged engine use her superior firepower to claim victory in under a minute.

Refusing to take Alfredo as a bondsman, he was disgraced and assigned to a solahma Cluster, while Hansen became a minor celebrity in Remnant propaganda. Despite being presented in public as an example of the resilience of Republic ideals outside the wall, Andrew Redburn's PR officers were careful not to mention her status as a former Knight and prevented interviews in which she could express her bitterness. News of her deeds however reached her former fellow Knights inside the walls, who continued to hope she would rejoin them once the Republic emerged from its Fortress.[1][2][3]
