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]

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

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]

Philosophical and/or political views

Thastus was a devoted follower of Khan Malvina Hazen and her Mongol Doctrine.[6]
