Captain Torri Chandler was a MechWarrior, who served in the Northwind Highlanders' Stirling's Fusiliers, from at least 3057 to 3058.[1][2]

History[edit]

Battle of Northwind[edit]

Chandler was a member of Stirling's Fusiliers First Company, First Battalion as of 3057, in which role she participated in the defense of Northwind, following the Northwind Highlanders declaring independence from the Federated Commonwealth. On 20 October Chandler was one of the Fusiliers who combat dropped on Northwind's Peace Park, following notification from the already on-world MacLeod's Regiment, that the Third Royal Guards were plotting to lure the Fusiliers into an ambush using stolen Highlander codes. Following the Fusiliers, the combined Highlander force was able to force the Third Royal Guards to retreat.[1]

Battle of Wayside[edit]

In June 3058, Chandler was part of the Stirling's Fusiliers mission to attack Clan Smoke Jaguar's Deep Periphery based on Wayside, on behalf of the Draconis Combine. On the 29 June, while in Star System K-001-WD-505 on the JumpShip Fox's Bane, Chandler expressed concern at Major Loren Jaffray's "Worse Case Scenario" plans for the upcoming battle on Wayside.[2]

Despite the Fusiliers suffering losses during an opposed landing on Wayside, against far superior Jaguar forces than initially expected, Chandler was still active with the Regiment as of 5 July 3058. At this time she was located with Major Jaffray, at the Bay of Kurita Prime.[3]

BattleMech[edit]

Chandler was known to have piloted a CTF-3D Cataphract BattleMech.[1]

Notes[edit]

In some sources, Chandler's first name is spelt Tori, rather than Torri.[1]
