	But the third and last planet, [[Trellisane]], where they landed on 17 February, wasn't so easy: the Wolf garrison, the newly created [[106th Wolf Garrison (Clan Wolf)|106th Wolf Garrison Cluster]] engaged in hit-and-run attacks, thus avoiding an open fight and delaying Zeta's victory for weeks. Luckily, a civilian employee, [[Jefferson Adabayo]] told her the location of the Wolves' supply stockpiles.

While her father renounced the military life, becoming a businessman, and even trying to educate her that way, she decided to enlist at the Dragoons at the age of fourteen, determined to become a [[MechWarrior]]. So her grandfather Kiyomasa explained her to Minobu's history, so she could know the consequences a soldier's life could have on her family. That impacted her, but didn't change her decision.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 30</ref> Her initial career is unknown, but she must have seen action against the [[Federated Suns]], as, in [[3151]] she was already a captain, leading Charlie Company of the [[Tarantulas Battalion]]. After the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]], and the gathering of all Dragoons survivors, she was aboard the DropShip ''[[Chieftain (Individual Overlord-class DropShip)|Chieftain]]'', where Colonel [[Henry Kincaid]] announced the beginning of a personal war of the Dragoons against Clan Wolf. Haya had lost a dear friend on Terra, [[Freya Bern]], and she was very affected... and thirsty for revenge.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 29</ref> On 13 June, in the Marik system, Kincaid called her to a meeting between with Captain-General [[Nikol Halas-Hughes Marik]], making her pose as his aide.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 22</ref> On 26 June 3151, Haya participated in the Tarantulas' raid on [[New Olympia]], leading her company. There she faced the Wolf cadets' commander, Star Captain [[Judah]], though she wasn't the one who downed him.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 30</ref> The next attack of the Tarantulas, attempting to take weapons shipments on [[Campbelton]] on 8 August, didn't go so well: the Wolf defenders proved to be too well-armed and cunning, and the Dragoons had high casualties. The death of Captain Norton and the incapacitation of Major [[Eric Gamble]] put her in command of the Tarantulas. She was advised to retreat, answering ''Retreat, hell! We just got here'', but ordered the Tarantulas to regroup near the landing zone. Haya intended to launch a new assault but was unable to – Colonel Kincaid ordered her to abandon the attack and leave the planet, an order she reluctantly obeyed.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 108–110</ref> After reaching the Dragoons' command DropShip ''Chieftain'', a furious Haya demanded answers from Kincaid about the retreat. An impassive Kincaid, who was with a businessman, [[Phu-Phu Engaga]], explained to her that he had ordered it to save lives, and that she had done nothing wrong.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 112</ref> Haya expected to have to defend herself, but Hack was very pleased by her aggressive spirit, and far from punishing her, he promoted her to Major, giving her a command she had to recreate: the long time destroyed [[Zeta Battalion]]. Phu-Phu was presented to her because he and his associates were the civilians who would assist her with info and supplies behind Wolf lines.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 117</ref> On 21 October, once in their secret base on [[Ilion]], Haya began creating Zeta Battalion using resources and personnel, mostly veterans from the inactive regiments that went to Terra, the [[Wolfsbane Battalion]] and Tarantulas Battalion. Haya's phrase of "''Retreat? Hell, we just got here!''" became Zeta's motto, and she instilled the philosophy of always doing the job, always, no matter what happened.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 140</ref> Haya and her officers started intensively training their warriors, but didn't have much time. On 30 November, Zeta Battalion lifted off for their first contract: the conquest of three planets of the [[Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey]]. On 31 December, they attacked [[Labouchere]] crushing the local Wolf Cluster in a matter of hours and departing before Tamarind's garrison arrived.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 182</ref> On the second planet [[Alula Borealis]], only Haya saw combat: she declared a Trial of Possession against the Wolf commander, defeating him in less than a minute, taking all the Wolf company as ''isorla''.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 194</ref> But the third and last planet, [[Trellisane]], where they landed on 17 February, wasn't so easy: the Wolf garrison, the newly created [[106th Wolf Garrison (Clan Wolf)|106th Wolf Garrison Cluster]] engaged in hit-and-run attacks, thus avoiding an open fight and delaying Zeta's victory for weeks.
