'''Angelica Cirion''' was a commander in the [[Black Warriors]] in [[2853]].<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', pp. 66–82</ref>

==History==
Cirion had risen to the rank of colonel by 2853. That year, Cirion led her unit of the Black Warriors, of unknown strength but less than a regiment, on a series of raids into the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], along with part of the [[71st Light Horse Regiment|Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment]] of the [[Eridani Light Horse]], led by Colonel Pro-Tem [[Idris Majed]].<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 65</ref>

On 4 April, the joint force crushed the Lyran defenders on [[Pencader]]. Majed ignored the true nature of the Warriors, who were [[pirate]]s, and while the ELH force finished off the defenders, Cirion led her warriors into the city of Riga Point to loot it. With their mission accomplished, both units departed.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', pp. 67–68</ref>

On 7 April, while they were leaving Pencader, Cirion informed her counterpart, Majed, of "new orders" – to launch another raid on [[Biloela]] before returning to [[Circinus]]. Majed was suspicious of the orders, but Cirion forced him to obey, pointing out that Majed was only a Colonel Pro-Tem and had to obey Cirion. Cirion told Idris about [[SAFE]]'s suspicions of a Lyran task force gathering on Biloela preparing for an attack against the [[Free Worlds League]].<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', pp. 69–70</ref>

Ten days later, the joint force attacked Biloela, taking it easily. Cirion told Majed about a Lyran force entrenched deep in the city, but Cirion was lying; her Warriors were looting the city's banks and even fired a warning shot at an ELH recon helicopter that had seen them. After meeting with Majed, Cirion attempted to deceive Majed once more, but Majed didn't fall for her lies, and Cirion confessed the truth, before announcing their next raid. Cirion believed she had forced Idris into submission. Cirion was wrong.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', pp. 77–78</ref>

On 5 July, when the joint force attacked [[Starshine]], Cirion left the battle to undertake a "secondary mission", as Cirion sarcastically put it to Majed. Her warriors were going to Bad Landing, an island chain where there was an abandoned [[SLDF]] base, probably expecting to find a supply cache.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 79</ref>

But Majed, tired of Cirion's pirate actions, made a deal with the Lyran commander on planet, and took the Seventy-first to stop the Warriors. The Eridanis crushed the pirates, and Majed personally downed Cirion's 'Mech with his ''[[Black Knight]]'', informing her that she and her pirates would be marooned there, and the Lyrans would take charge of all their 'Mechs and [[DropShip]]s, and told the rest of the Warriors that Cirion's unit had been destroyed in battle, before departing and leaving them to their fate.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', pp. 81–82</ref>

==Physical Description==
Cirion was described as a woman with blond hair and a hardened, angular face.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 66</ref>

==BattleMech==
Cirion piloted a ''[[BattleMaster]]''.<ref>''Dying Dignity'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 81</ref>
