==History==
===Battle of Northwind===
Hamilton was a member of Stirling's Fusiliers First [[Company]], First [[Battalion]] (Kilsyth Guards) as of 3057, in which role she participated in the [[Battle of Northwind (3057)|defense]] of [[Northwind]], following the Northwind Highlanders declaring independence from the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. On 20 October Hamilton 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.<ref name=NH></ref>

===Battle of Wayside===
In 3058, Hamilton was part of the Stirling's Fusiliers mission to [[Battle of Wayside (3058)|attack]] [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]'s [[Deep Periphery]] base on [[Wayside]], on behalf of the [[Draconis Combine]]. On 18 July 3058, after an attack on a Jaguar airfield which was successful despite the Fusiliers suffering losses from enemy [[aerospace]] fighters, Hamilton was one of the injured survivors of the Kilsyth Guards. She was however less seriously wounded than many of her comrades, including ''[[Sho-sa]]'' [[Elden Parkensen]], on whom Hamilton had to personally perform emergency surgery which resulted in the amputation of several of his fingers.<ref name=IoW></ref>

On 8 August 3058, Hamilton 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]].<ref name=NHp46>''Northwind Highlanders'', p. 46</ref>
