== History ==
Dalia was a trueborn decanted on [[Satalice]].  She was an unremarkable trainee who passed her [[Trial of Position]] with the minimum requirement of defeating one opponent.  Though she was not a great warrior, she did excel in being able to motivate her comrades.  This was handy for her when she was assigned to the [[6th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixth Bear Regulars]] of the [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omicron Galaxy]] which was partaking in garrison duty.<ref name=ER:3145/>

Shortly after joining her unit, the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]] broke out.  Her unit found itself having to defend against attacks from [[Clan Nova Cat]], the [[Draconis Combine]], and the [[Black Dragons]] in quick succession.  Due to Dalia's leadership, the 6th was able to hold on long enough for reinforcements to arrive to push back the invading forces.  When the war was over, she was sponsored in a [[Trial of Bloodright]] and won the [[Bekker (Bloodname)|Bekker Bloodname]].<ref name=ER:3145/>

Once she attained her Bloodname, she was transferred to a frontline [[Cluster]] within the [[Rho Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Rho Galaxy]].  Here she wisely used the application of Trials and challenges to raise herself through the ranks as well as cultivating connections with influential warriors to lay the groundwork for her political career.  When [[3120]] came, she was ready to ascend to the rank of Khan; however, she needed something to push her in the limelight to assume command of the Clan.  That push came in [[3125]] when the [[Motstånd]] rose up.  Dalia was able to bring the proverbial thorn in the side of the Clan to justice on [[Vipaava]].  She won the election for Khan of Clan Ghost Bear in [[3126]].<ref name=ER:3145/>

In [[3150]], after [[Fortress Republic]]'s [[The Wall|Wall]] was downed, two planets of the Protectorate wanted to join the Republic again: [[Atria]] and [[Ko]]. Bekker let them go but, to prove the Dominion's resolve, she ordered raids against the Draconis Combine, taking [[Dyev]] and [[Lambrecht]] easily.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', pp. 82–83</ref>

After the [[IlClan Trial]], she traveled to [[Terra]] along with her SaKhan, [[Roy Jorgensson]], to assist in the ceremony of the proclamation of the IlClan. On 25 May [[3151]], both Khans had a private meeting with the new IlKhan, [[Alaric Ward]], pledging the full support of their Clan to the new Star League but they also pointed out that the Dominion needed a vote from its population for the nation itself to join Alaric's cause.<ref>''A Question of Survival'', prologue</ref>

After a period of heightened tensions within the Dominion and Alaric Ward's refusal to allow the the nation to join the new Star League, the conflict known as the [[Dominion Civil War]] broke out. Bekker served mainly in a leadership position during this time, staying on [[Rasalhague]] throughout the conflict's duration. One of her major contributions was conscripting all available [[JumpShip]]s, keeping the [[Unity Council]] members on the capital and out of the war. After the conflict had ended, she supported Prince [[Hjalmer Miraborg]]'s plans to invade the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref>''Dominions Divided'', pp. 50–87</ref>
