'''Tanya DeLaurel''' was a [[saKhan]] and [[Khan]] of [[Clan Hell's Horses]].

==History==
A Hell's Horses ''[[ristar]]'', Tanya DeLaurel rapidly rose to take command of the Horses' renowned [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Alpha Galaxy]]. Her leadership, tactical abilities, and success against the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]] on [[Niles (Clan System)|Niles]] in 3046 brought her to the attention of [[Khan]] [[Malavai Fletcher]]. He personally chose her to be his [[saKhan]], and her level-headed nature tempered his more chaotic nature. Though known to have a [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] mindset, her reserve put her in sharp contrast with the more unstable Fletcher.<ref name=FM:CCp63>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 63: "saKhan Tanya DeLaurel"</ref>

In [[3061]], seeing the need for a [[DropShip]] capable of transporting the combined arms troops of the Horses, saKhan DeLaurel commissioned the new and innovative ''[[Outpost (DropShip class)|Outpost]]''-class vessel. This vessel saw use during the Hell's Horses' first incursion into the Inner Sphere—an incursion rumored to have been brokered by the calm and persuasive saKhan. The pact formed with [[Clan Wolf]], however, eventually ended in failure. The poor leadership of Khan Fletcher resulted in the Horses' expulsion from the Inner Sphere, with Fletcher himself losing both the Khanship and his life to the ambitions of [[James Cobb]]. Even so, DeLaurel's reputation and abilities kept her in her position of saKhan within her Clan.{{cn}}

===Khanship and Death===
Continuing as saKhan during the tumultuous [[Wars of Reaving]], Tanya DeLaurel assisted [[Khan]] [[James Cobb]] in planning for the Horses' return to the Inner Sphere. Elected as Khan in 3081, DeLaurel led the Hell's Horses for only a handful of years before falling in combat on [[Bruben]] during a [[Clan Wolf]] Trial of Possession.<ref name="TWoRp188">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 188: "Jake Kabrinski"</ref>

== BattleMechs ==
Originally known for her Ghost Bear–built ''[[Mad Dog (Vulture)|Mad Dog]]'' salvaged from the battlefields of [[Niles (Clan System)|Niles]], DeLaurel claimed the first ''[[Balius]]'' to emerge from its production lines. Her skill and ability at the helm of the quad [[BattleMech]] impressed the capabilities of the machine onto the Warriors of her Clan, helping to increase its popularity and usage.<ref name=MMp140/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 142</ref>
