==History==
 
==History==
Marantha was [[Mitchell Calderon]]'s daughter and heir to the Protectorship during the Reunification War. She married [[Peter Carliss]] and had three children with him. Upon Mitchell's death in [[2588]], Marantha assumed leadership of her nation as it struggled to resist the [[Star League Defense Force]] invasion. Although the Taurian Defense Forces and the civilian guerrillas had fought bravely and cunningly, by [[2590]] the SLDF had taken all but the [[Hyades Cluster]] worlds.<ref>''The Periphery'', p. 33</ref>

Marantha had tried to use more defensive tactics to hold her planets against the invaders but SLDF reinforcements from the conquered [[Rim Worlds Republic]] and [[Outworlds Alliance]] were too much to resist. Beginning in the spring of [[2591]] the naval forces of the SLDF probed Flannagan's Nebulea and began a five-year slog through the hardened defenses of the Cluster.<ref>''The Periphery'', p. 34</ref><ref name=TSLp49>''The Star League'', p. 49</ref>

SLDF Naval forces finally broke through the TDF lines in [[2595]] and began advancing on the last free worlds of the [[Taurian Concordat]]. Marantha decided to spare her people and ordered the TDF to surrender and stand down. On 22 September [[2596]], the Taurian conflict officially ended. Marantha Calderon committed suicide the next day. Her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered into space.<ref name=TSLp49 /> Her death led to the first succession crisis of [[House Calderon]].<ref name=TPp44/>
