With her father holding a high rank in the Corps, her career was a quite fast one; only 6 years (instead of the usual 16-22 years) after her graduation as one of the top students from West Point, she was promoted to Colonel, and given command of the LMCs 48th Forward Reconnaissance regiment.

Died Still alive

A former officer in the Liberty Marine Corps, Mireille Ceyes is widely known for her defection to the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army, inciting a bloody revolt on the LPI Sugarland which took over 250 people's life and the bombing of the Manhattan Supreme Court Building.

Early life

Born to Libertonian Senator Nicole Ceyes and Liberty Army Brigadier General Henry Snyder, Mireille grew up in a rather conservative, patriotic and also wealthy family. Attending various private elementary schools and graduating from New Manhattan High School in 801 A.S., she decided to follow her fathers footsteps and applied for admission into West Point Military Academy.

Career in the Liberty Marine Corps

Thanks to her father's influence, Ceyes's career was a quite fast one; instead of the usual 20 years, she was promoted to the rank of Colonel only 6 years after enlistment through the ROTC, and given command of the LMC's 48th Forward Reconnaissance Batallion. Despite her high rank, she still did field work, which is very unusual for a Colonel - but so was her whole career, which she often cites as a prime example of corruption within Liberty. LSF analysts often blame the sudden growth of responsibility coming with each of her promotions for her later defection - she simply weren't able to handle the pressure.

Not only her career was subject of dispute though; after a particular incident involving her and a Nomad entity near Maine, she was accused of cooperation with the Order multiple times, but each time, the accusations had to be dropped due to a lack of evidence. Still, LSF analysts think of her connections to said group to be quite real and that the Order might very well be supporting her operations in Liberty.

Operation Burning Star

It was the now-declassified Operation Burning Star which made Ceyes defect from the Corps. Together with 1st Combat Application Group Operators and 6 LSF Paramilitary Officers, the 48th FORECON Batallion was to take out a hidden SCRA enclave on Planet Manhattan.

The operation proceeded well, until Ceyes herself (which was leading a Platoon of her unit during the mission) was ordered to shoot the leader of the terrorists, which already had surrendered to her peacefully. Instead of firing on her unarmed prisoner, she opened fire upon the LSF agent who ordered the execution. She tried to extract the terrorist leader (who had convinced her that it was them who where fighting for a just cause, not her, who has been ordered to kill civilians previously already) to safety, but shot down when she tried to leave the site through an utility tunnel. 9 survivors of her platoon however, which remained loyal to her despite her treason, were able to escape though.

Escape from the Sugarland

Her captors made a grave mistake. Until her trial, she was to be kept on the LPI Sugarland, which was not properly equipped to handle prisoners sporting military-grade augmentations and training. With a bit of bribery and a lot of brute force as well as the support of a Liberty Military Gunboat crewed by 3 48th FORECON platoons, she was able to inflict grave damage onto the station and to escape along with 38 other prisoners which stormed one of the Sugarland's docking bays and took over a large number of police spaceships. The LPI stopped the revolt by depressurizing multiple sectors of the station. 240 prisoners as well as 29 LPI officers died during the uprisings.

Bombing of the Liberty Supreme Court Building

She and the rogue 48th went underground for two months, only to return to lawful space on the 22nd of January, the day she should have been tried by the Supreme Court on Manhattan. Assisted by a few Xenos and mercenaries as well as the soldiers that defected with her, she was able to smuggle a tactical nuke into the Court Building's basement, detonating it at approximately 1432 hours and then storming the building, she effectively used what has been thought to her to fight the enemies of Liberty against her own government. Again, she managed to escape prosecution, and joined forces with the SCRA, tempted by their propaganda.

Joining and defecting from the SCRA

At first, Ceyes thought to have found herself a new home in Omega-52 - but she soon realized that what the SCRA was telling her was the same propaganda she has already heard in Liberty, just promoting a different leadership. Yet, she played along, even receiving a promotion in late '16 and forming a friendship with SCRA pilots Katya Vaschenko and Yue Fei, but after a few months, she couldn't stand it anymore. The SCRA was just as corrupted as Liberty, if not more - so she decided to reclaim the 48th's Gunboat, and made a - succesful - run for the House she was born in, where she and her crew are now using the Gunboat as a mobile base of operations, occasionally hiring a Merc or Zoner to resupply them.
