Galaxy Commander Jane Thastus was the commander of Gamma Galaxy, and Bloodnamed warrior of the Thastus Bloodhouse, from at least 3145 to 3151.[1][2][3][4]
Contents
History
Galaxy Command
Thastus led Gamma Galaxy from the Guatavita based First Falcon Velites as of 3145.[1] She was however temporarily replaced by Matthias Pryde in 3147 as leader of Gamma for reasons unknown [5], though by 3151 she had resumed command of the Galaxy.[4]
Battle of Terra
Europe
Back in control of Gamma for the Battle of Terra, Thastus participated in the Falcon's European campaign, acting as one of Khan Malvina Hazen senior subcommanders. Winning the bid for the initial assault on Redoubt Geneva on day T+29, Thastus and Gamma succeeded in taking the local spaceport during their first push, though they were however soon forced back out of the Redoubt, by the introduction of the Republic of the Sphere's elite Stone’s Lament to replace the retreating militia forces.[4]
On 7 March 3151, SaKhan Ryan Pryde was seriously injured during a false-flag assassination attempt by the RAF against the leaders of both Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon, leading him temporarily unable to discharge his duties. Khan Hazen therefore promoted Jane Thastus to act as pro tem SaKhan while he recovered, on the basis she was more closely aligned with her Mongol Doctrine than the other candidate, Galaxy Commander Stephanie Chistu.[6]
Africa
While acting as SaKhan, around day T+87, Thastus was contacted by Clan Wolf Galaxy Commander Dominic Shaw to advise her that elements of the Republic's Twenty-Fourth Republic Infantry Regiment were operating near Gamma Galaxy's Second Falcon Jaegers near Tripoli in Africa. In response Thastus' doubled Gamma's patrols in the region, and after the Twenty-Fourth was goaded into contact with the Falcon forces, the Second Falcon Jaegers were able to mostly destroy the RAF unit.
Subsequently ordering Gamma to shadow the Wolves as they headed deeper south into Africa, Thastus hoped to claim Marrakesh as her next conquest, but it was assaulted by Wolf forces before she could reach it. Enraged by this, she ordered Gamma to rush in to destroy the defending RAF Fifty-Fifth Armored Regiment first, using her own First Falcon Velites to claim the city and its governor’s residence. Following this interference, Wolf General Chance Vickers request permission from her Khan Alaric Ward to contest Thastus’s claim to Marrakesh, but was denied on the basis the Wolves would not fight the Falcons until the Republic was defeated.[7]
Victory over the Republic
On V-T Day, 14 April 3151, Thastus was one of the senior Falcon and Wolf officers to accept the surrender of Devlin Stone and the Republic of the Sphere on Belle Isle in Detroit, together with Malvina Hazen, Stephanie Chistu, Cynthy, Alaric Ward, Chance Vickers and Tara Wolf.[8]
IlClan Trial
On 16 April she also attended the official Batchall ceremony for the IlClan Trial in Michigan, though not as acting SaKhan, as Ryan Pryde had recovered from his injuries enough to resume his leadership duties.[9] As a senior Mongol leader, together with Abzug Helmer, Thastus was also extensively consulted by Khan Hazen during her strategy sessions planning the Falcon's approach for the IlClan Trial immediate before its commencement.[10]
On the third day of the Trial itself, Thastus lead Gamma on a deep drive into the lines of the Wolves Delta Galaxy which was mostly successful, until they were rotated out to allow Epsilon Galaxy to take the vanguard position.[11] By the end of the Trial however, Thastus had either been killed or defeated, and was not available to prevent Stephanie Chistu from conceding the Trial and the status of IlClan to the Wolves.[12]
Philosophical and/or political views
Thastus was a devoted follower of Khan Malvina Hazen and her Mongol Doctrine.[6]
