* According to the prologue of the ''[[Falcon Guard (novel)|Falcon Guard]]'' novel by [[Robert Thurston]], Star Captain [[Joanna]] was together with Star Colonel Adler Malthus at the Great Gash and was one of the survivors, buried by rock as [[Kai Allard-Liao]] detonated the mines by overloading the reactor of his ''[[Hatchetman]]''. According to The Battle for Twycross scenario, the Great Gash was attacked by the [[Falcon Guard]] Trinary Alpha. Star Captain Joanna is not in the Trinary Alpha unit roster, in fact she is not even mentioned as a member of the whole Falcon Guards Cluster. This is probably a retcon of Robert Thurston because his book was published one year after the scenario.
