Kristen

Earning the Redmond Bloodname, Kristen would rise to the rank of Star Colonel and command of Peregrine Galaxy's elite 94th Striker Cluster. Redmond would lead the Black Vision aggressively during the Clan Invasion, taking enormous chances both personally and with her warriors, bringing her Cluster to the brink of defeat on numerous occasions but also earning it considerable honor for a string of brutal victories on Somerset and La Grave. Though some charitably saw her aggressive approach as rising to the challenge of the invasion, those who knew Kristen Redmond best believed she had a death wish, the aging warrior scared that she would be judged too old at age 60 and stripped of command of her front-line Cluster for transfer to a solahma unit or worse. Both the Jade Falcon Khan Elias Crichell and saKhan Vandervahn Chistu considered removing Redmond from command of the 94th on numerous occasions, scared that the 94th's luck would eventually run out, refusing only to avoid diminishing the much-needed prestige her accomplishments brought her Clan.

Redmond commanded the 94th during the Battle of Tukayyid, as part of the Falcon Guard-led assault against the primary target city of Olalla. Kristen Redmond would ultimately survive Tukayyid, though she was wounded in action.

She remains in command of the 94th Striker Cluster following Tukayyid, though she is acutely aware of the fact, and dreads, that she will soon likely be removed and delegated to a solahma unit as is standard for someone her age in the Clans.

She was also a secondary antagonist in the Federated Commonwealth animated series "1st Somerset Strikers", something Redmond views with amused exasperation as a 'dubious honor.'

Age: 58 Personality: Aggressive, driven, stand-offish, but honorable to a fault. Kristen's sense of humor is frequently deadpan, and she actively has to force herself to let her guard down around others. She is extremely cunning and calculating, despite her frequent recklessness. Sexuality: Bisexual Physical Description: Caucasian. Brown hair pulled back into a severe ponytail. Has one gray eye, with one missing and covered by an eyepatch. Stands roughly five foot ten inches, with a muscular build born of a lifetime in the Jade Falcon warrior caste. Her remaining eye is surrounded with the tell-tale glowing "tattoos" of Enhanced Imaging Implants. Clothing: Either her cooling suit when piloting, or one of the uniforms of the Jade Falcon clan. She forgoes the helmet when wearing her field uniform.
