'''Angela Hasek''' was a [[Federated Suns]] noblewoman and politician hailing from the [[Capellan March]]. She was the second of [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] and [[Kym Sorenson|Kym Sorenson Hasek-Davion]]'s three children.

==History==
===Early Life===
Angela and her two siblings, George and Cyrus, were very close during childhood, both in age and friendship. However, each chose to attend a different academy when they entered the [[AFFC]], with Angela attending the [[NAIS]]. After her initial deployment, she returned to [[New Syrtis]], where she served with the Department of the Quartermaster. After the death of her father, George asked his sister to leave the military to come work directly for him. She accepted, becoming the new Duke's closest advisor, keeping the machinery of government working so George could focus on matters of national importance<ref name=HBHDp112>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 112</ref> 

===Jihad===
After the assassination of her brother, Angela took over day-to-day operations as Minister of the Capellan March. In early [[3070]], she was named Duchess-Regent for her niece [[Amanda Hasek (31st c.)|Amanda]], while [[Field Marshal]] Ally Swanson, former military commander of the Capellan March and temporary commander of the war effort against the Capellan Confederation, could install [[Nathaniel Hasek]] as the new March commander.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 86 - "Hasek Murdered!" - Swanson takes temporary command, Nathaniel is in line for promotion.</ref>

Among her first actions was to accepted the offered ceasefire from Capellan Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]], formally ending the conflict in April 3070. However, she was not content to let them leave at their pace and had her troops chase the Capellan forces back into their own territory. At the same time, she faced incursions from the [[Taurian Concordat]] and [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. Angela also continued the trend of strained relations with New Avalon by refusing orders from [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]]. In response, the Princess-Regent sent the [[22nd Avalon Hussars]] and the [[Fox (WarShip class)|''Fox''-class]] Corvette [[New Syrtis (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|FSS ''New Syrtis'']] into the Capellan March. Their presence was ostensibly to secure the crucial world, but also a means for Yvonne to force Angela to follow instructions. While an effective reminder, it heightened tensions between the people of New Syrtis and the government on New Avalon.<ref name=MMp36>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', pp. 36-37</ref>

In April [[3072]], [[Warrior House Rakshasa]] assaulted the world of [[Chesterton]].  This prompted Angela to send a public message to the Chancellor, demanding he turn over the Rakshasa members to her for trial or face retaliation for breaking their ceasefire.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 77 - "Haseks Demand Reparations" - Angela Hasek demands reparations for Kali Liao's Warrior House invasion of Chesterton.</ref>  

With the asteroid strike against the [[Taurian Concordat|Taurian]] capital city of Samantha on [[Taurus]] in May, [[3074]],<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 55 - "The Day the Heavens Fell" - Report May 3074 of 'roids crashing into Taurus.</ref> Hasek extended an olive branch to them, promising humanitarian and medical assistance to victims of the asteroid strike. She flatly denied any involvement in the asteroid strke.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 34 - "Hasek Denies Involvement" - Hasek offers aid to victims of the strike while denying involvement.</ref> 

In July [[3076]], media reports began circulating which claimed that Angela was involved in assassination of her brother. Though she had evidence to prove that the Word of Blake was responsible for his death, her public image had been tarnished.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p 90 - "Avenge Your Fallen Lord!" - Propaganda spreads of Angela involved with death of her brother.</ref> Furious at being accused of assassinating the brother she loved, Angela  ordered [[MIIO]] and other security agencies to crack down on the people responsible. By 3077, the movement had quieted, but whether it was crushed remains unknown.<ref name=MMp36/>

In the later years of the Jihad, Angela's uncle Nathaniel died, ending his nearly thirty-year term as commander of the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]]. Angela took the opportunity to further emphasize the brigade's loyalty to the Hasek family first, promoting [[Serena Thompson-Hasek]] to brigade commander and filling the brigade with soldiers who would look to New Syrtis first and New Avalon second.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 63</ref>

===Death===
Angela continued to rule the Capellan March well after her niece Amanda reached her majority. Only on her aunt's death did Amanda Hasek come to rule the Capellan March.<ref name=WoREp41/>
