History
Battle of Northwind
Chandler was a member of Stirling's Fusiliers First Company, First Battalion as of 3057, in which role she participated in the defense of Northwind, following the Northwind Highlanders declaring independence from the Federated Commonwealth. On 20 October Chandler was one of the Fusiliers who combat dropped on Northwind's Peace Park, following notification from the already on-world MacLeod's Regiment, that the Third Royal Guards were plotting to lure the Fusiliers into an ambush using stolen Highlander codes. Following the Fusiliers, the combined Highlander force was able to force the Third Royal Guards to retreat.[1]
Battle of Wayside
In June 3058, Chandler was part of the Stirling's Fusiliers mission to attack Clan Smoke Jaguar's Deep Periphery base on Wayside, on behalf of the Draconis Combine. On the 29 June, while in Star System K-001-WD-505 on the JumpShip Fox's Bane, Chandler expressed concern at Major Loren Jaffray's "Worse Case Scenario" plans for the upcoming battle on Wayside.[2] Despite the Fusiliers suffering losses during an opposed landing on Wayside, against far superior Jaguar forces than initially expected, Chandler was still active with the Regiment as of 5 July 3058. At this time she was located with Major Jaffray, at the Bay of Kurita Prime.[3]
On 8 August 3058, Chandler participated in the final engagement of this conflict, during which Galaxy Commander Devon Osis attempted to destroy the remaining elements of the Fusiliers which remained on Wayside after an initially unsuccessful attempt to eliminate the Smoke Jaguar presence on the world. Catching the Northwind Highlanders Regiment on the airless continent of New Scotland, the Smoke Jaguars were eventually overwhelmed by the arrival of Highlander reinforcements, as well as a Clan Nova Cat force under Star Colonel Santin West.[4]
BattleMech
At the start of the Battle of Wayside, Chandler was piloting a CTF-3D Cataphract BattleMech.[1] By the end of this campaign however, she was instead piloting a TDR-9SE Thunderbolt BattleMech.[4]
Notes
In some sources, Chandler's first name is spelt Tori, rather than Torri.[1]
