The commander of Beta Galaxy, Laurie Tseng is more typical of a Ghost Bear warrior than either of her ristar Khans. Earning only a single kill in her initial Trial of Position, she worked her way up to Galaxy command through slow and steady advancement. She is the oldest Ghost Bear MechWarrior in front-line duty, but shows no signs of retiring to the solahma ranks any time soon. Laurie is a shrewd strategist and an able pilot, though some question her field command abilities. She served as Loremaster throughout Operation Revival and the Great Refusal, and so possesses invaluable insight into the Inner Sphere and the Ghost Bears' interaction with it. It is widely expected that when Kael Pershaw finally gives up his tenuous grip on life, Laurie Tseng will succeed him as the next Loremaster of the Clans.
