BACKGROUND:
While Claire was residing within Gallic borders, she was a freelancing escort, protecting any traders in the area from being pirated. This meant from time to time, Claire was opposed to corrupt Police officials. over the years, Claire and her wingmen (or "crew" as she refers to them) got quite a reputation within the corrupt Police. During a job, the police ambushed the cargo ship she was defending. The Cargo ship decided to run, forcing Claire and her wingmen to follow. The corrupt police ambushers were quick to disrupt the cruise engines of the fighter ships. in the short fight that followed, all of Claire's wingmen's ships were destroyed, with the pilots ejected. Claire, the last fighter still remaining operational, fled in the only direction she could go...the council. the police ships followed as far as they could, but after a time, one of them sent a message to Claire's ship stating that if she stayed in Gallic space, her family would be killed. fearing for her family's lives, and for her friends, she left Gallic space through the minefield.
Claire dropped her wingmen off at "Reunion" station, and headed off on her own, leaving a promise to her companion that, if she found a new suitable home, she would come back and retrieve them. Claire traveled around, searching the Tau Systems. As she was exploring Tau-29, she came across a Distress Call. She immediately set her course in the direction it as coming from. When she got there, she found a yacht and some fighters under attack from a group of fighters. she read the IFF transponder signals of the ships, and found that the yacht was a researcher, and its allies were navy ships of some sort. the other ships were Identified as pirating vessels. Claire quickly brought her ship into the fight, surprising everyone participating. on her first attack run, her mini-razor was able to decimate one pirate vessel, destroying it in one hit. after the shock of her entering the battle wore off, the other pirates targeted her, to avenger their fallen comrade. Claire managed to bring her ship around, and fire another mini-razor, but her ship was simultaneously hit with multiple torpedoes, and multitudes of missiles and gun fire. With her ship crippled, her cockpit cracked and slowly depressurizing along with most the weapons off line or destroyed, and her ships core going critical, she activated her cruise engines, and headed towards the bigest pirate vessel in the area. When she was very close to the pirate, she killed all power to the engines, and started firing all remaining guns. The pirate vessel, taken by suprise at the manuvour, was destroyed, but the collision to Claire's ship all but destroyed it. The Navy ships moved in to defend their Crippled unknown ally, while the rest of the pirates fled the area. Claire's ship was completely dead.
after Clair's ship was safely recovered, the unconscious Claire was pulled out of her broken vessel, and medically examined. it was quickly concluded that she was Gallic. The damage to her body was extensive. her right eye was all but destroyed, along with her spine and some other parts of her torso. The Science department outfitted her with prototype technology, using her as a test subject, but allowing her full functionality again. The engineers present were able to find the ship log of everything that occurred since Claire departed to defend the Cargo ship. Her UY-258 Sunbeam was sent to the science division for reverse engineering and for possible reconstruction or reproduction. after Claire became conscious, she was offered a place within the Battlegroup. She agreed, after a detailed briefing about the battlegroup. Claire was later asked to join the Corona Battlegroup High Command, due to her very successful results of the countless missions she survived, and because of her successful tactics and resourcefulness in combat.

When Claire Lelouch was traveling abroad, she encountered a wealthy Zoner by the name of Blaine Corster. Claire and Blaine became really close, very quickly, but as Claire's leave was nearly up, she had to return to the Corona Battlegroup and resume her duties as a member of the High Command.
Blaine Corster, being as in love with the mysterious woman, traveled out to where Claire had told him the base of operations was for the corona battlegroup to surprise her, with his new ship, an Aquilon Carrier Class Capital Vessel. As Blaine and the skeleton crew aboard the Star's duty arrived at the Corona Battlegroup, claire immeadiately flew aboard to greet him officially, and just to see him. Blaine decided to take this opportunity to show off his new vessel, buy taking Claire on a trip for a few hours.
As luck would have it, the vessel came under sever pirate attack before the weapon systems could be activated. The bridge took a severe beating, which caused an explosion next to Blaine, fatally wounding him. In his last breath, he touched the teary face of Claire, and told him to look after his ship, and let it remind her of him, and that he loved her. He sighed, then told a close by crew member that Claire is irrevocably named owner and captain of this vessel in his place, before he sighed deeply, but didn't draw another breath.
Outraged, and grief-stricken, Claire quickly rose, and started co-ordinating a counter attack against all the hostiles in the area. Bringing the supperiour firepower back online, and laying down supressing fire in a broadside attack to the pirate vessels, the Star's duty managed to suppress and escape the threat.
After regrouping with the Corona Battlegroup, Blaine was given a proper service, and his ship was renamed by Claire as Knightmare. She chose this name as that day was a nightmare for her, and Blaine was her personal Knight in shining armour in many ways.
From that day on, Claire, and the original crew of the Knightmare have stayed on that ship, and will never lose the ship, no matter what, out of loyalty of their respected friend.
