Personally selected by Khan Fletcher for her amazing tactical abilities, saKhan Tanya DeLaurel formerly command alpha Galaxy. Tall for a MechWarrior, with long dark hair and piercing gray eyes, Tanya carries herself with an air of superiority rightly earned in the defense of Niles. Unfailingly level-headed, she acts was a fail-safe during Malavai Fletcher's more serious tantrums, and is believed to be at least partly responsible for the contrace deal with the Wolves. Her political views appear guarded; she leans toward the Cruseder viewpoint without actually stating so outright. In selecting her rather than a more ardent Crusader to fill the post of saKhan, Khan Fletcher demonstrated the wisdom of listening to another point of view.
