Marissa Morgan was an officer in the Free Worlds League Military.

History[edit]

She was the Colonel and commanding officer of the 2nd Fusiliers of Oriente from 3042 to 3048[1], and led the unit during the Andurien Secession. Her Second Fusiliers remained off the front lines until the last part of the war. The Second was part of the first wave of FWLM forces that attacked Andurien. Arriving via pirate point, the Second Fusiliers avoided contact with the defenders, reinforcing the 1st Free Worlds Guards once they had landed.[2] Shortly thereafter they reinforced the 1st Marik Militia and contained a breakout attempt by the 1st Defenders of Andurien.[3] Their greatest action, however, came when they attacked the city of Jojoken alongside the First Fusiliers of Oriente. The Second Fusiliers pinned the defending 5th Defenders of Andurien in place while the First Fusiliers flanked them and struck the 5th Defenders from the rear. The two Fusilier units then ground the Defenders between them, leaving few survivors.[4] This action cost the Fusiliers about 40% of their forces.[5]

In 3044 her tactics allowed her to get troops away from Exedor after a failed attack.[6]

In 3048 the Second Fusiliers raided the Gienah Combat Vehicles plant on Gienah, taking plans and armored vehicles, while the 3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires focused on attacking the planet's defenders.[7]

After the retirement of Selim Halas, she was promoted to General and given command of the full Fusiliers of Oriente, a post she kept from 3048 to 3059.[1]
