The Chevalier de Lorraine - Printable Version

Born and raised on Planet New Paris, Lucia grew up in a noble Gallic family, and from a young age took a lively interest in music. Her mother Alice, who was well-known as a musician throughout Gallia, hence decided to give her lessons in singing and playing the piano. She believed that her daughter should emulate her deeds and start a career as a musician, but Lucia’s father Albert was less than discontent about his wife’s plans. Since he had served in the Gallic Royal Navy for a long time, he instead held different classes to Lucia: trainee in melee combat, weapon targeting and, with the help of a simulator, flying ships. The time with her father, together with the training, exhilarated Lucia to an extent, and so she trained harder and harder.

That would not go without consequences, though. Her mother, who had sunk into the depths of depression due to the way Lucia was treated by her father, straightforward committed suicide, and that two days before her daughters fourteenth birthday. However, Albert thought it wiser to tell Lucia that the Council had sent an assassin to kill her. Shattered by the loss of her own mother, and not less overwhelmed by her emotions, Lucia coped with it in her own way; by training even harder. When she turned eighteen she could finally enlist in the Royal Navy. Without detours, Lucia got quickly assigned to the Battlegroup in Lorraine, which had been instructed to secure the Gallic-Kusarian-Border. True to her training, she managed to destroy and kill dozens of intruders and council pilots during her assignment. Quickly she earned herself a new name, a name that would reap famosity amongst both friend and foe: “Chevalier de Lorraine”.

It was 740 A.G.S. when Command transferred her to the Gallic-Libertonian-Bretonian frontline, in order to assist in the fight against Gallia’s two biggest mortal enemies. Again did she throw herself into the fray in Leeds, New London, Magellan, and even as far as California, and Lucia began to be more and more optimistic that the war would end soon. But it went on.

It was early 741 A.G.S. when a band of Armed Forces pilots succeeded in cornering Lucia in Dublin, outnumbering her two to one. In defiance of the obvious odds, the “Chevalier” defeated them one by one. Nevertheless, the Bretonians had inflicted heavy damage on her ship and had even managed to crack her canopy. Yet again she gave proof of her art of survival: As by a miracle, she was able to reach Pearth Station in Edinburgh. There she docked but disappeared without any trace the same day. It was only safe to say that her ship never undocked from the station again.

It would be the last time anybody had sighted the infamous “Chevalier de Lorraine”.
