Lady Agatha

Lady Agatha started her military career as the commander of a small garrison on a remote border of the Empire, which was in fact the border of Dominion of Humanity. There she accepted her first battle. During several years night-stalkers attacked the Empire’s borders where were located the main sources of natural resources. Just there, Agatha rose to the rank of colonel and gained the right to accept the ribbon of Empire Legion from Emperor’s hands. By that time, the Third Wave of Intrusion had started and Lady Agatha was appointed the commander of a battle group of the fleet under the general command of Lord Cross. She took part in numerous battles including the battle for planet-city Velian, where she perished. How else could be called the situation when head was cut off? Only the quickness of her guards and developed field medicine of the Empire allowed doctors brought her back to life. In 12 years after the conclusion of Watchful Peace, Lady Agatha ruined the attempt of Advisor Piriel to take the planet of Teklius from the Empire. The expedition troops of the Protectorate fled having lost a considerable part of its staff and the Advisor survived in combat with Agatha only because of the help of Iron General.

As far back as during her command over the garrison on the outer border, Lady Agatha obtained the peculiar only to her style of commanding. In battles on the border night-stalkers had a numerical superiority over the Empire troops and Agatha had actually to wage partisan warfare on the territory of her own country. She almost achieved perfection in the tactics and strategy of secret operations and application of raid groups, but she is not strong in full-scale planetary battles what was proved by her defeat on Velian.

Empire Confederation

Lady Agatha

This is an enclave-state.

Lady Agatha is one of the Frontier Lords and at that the most independent one.

Her vast experience of partisan war came in handy for Agatha – she managed to establish a coalition of periphery “barbarian” worlds skillfully giving support to the political forces in those worlds that she considered useful for her. Lady Agatha’s enclave is called Empire Confederation and reflects its political structure rather exactly. Besides Lady Agatha, the prominent figures in Empire Confederation are two fallen into disgrace oligarchs, who took part in the political distemper during Usurpation and escaped to periphery after the establishment of Regency.
