'''Colleen Sandoval''' was a [[Federated Suns]] noble.

==History==
===Early life===
A descendant of [[Aaron Sandoval (30th c.)|Aaron Sandoval]], through his son [[David Sandoval (31st c.)|David]], Colleen did not expect to inherit much power.<ref name=DDp59>''Dominions Divided'', p. 59</ref> Managing affairs on [[Robinson]]'s Solomon continent, she was seemingly uninterested in a martial career, preferring family life and government service.

===Invasion of Robinson===
When the [[Draconis Combine]] invaded Robinson in August [[3144]], all of her children died in the invasion. She took out her rage on the Draconis Combine through guerilla attacks on the occupying forces.<ref name=DDp59/> When [[Paladin of the Republic|Paladin]] [[Max Ergen]] liberated Robinson with his [[Task Force Eruptio]], Sandoval took control of the planet and implemented massive military expansion based on an overwhelming defense.<ref name=DDp58>''Dominions Divided'', p. 58</ref> Ordering the construction of fortifications and fixed positions played a large part in Sandoval's plan, the core of which was a militia loyal to Robinson, soldiers who were fanatically loyal and would not flee in the face of danger. The [[Second Davion Irregulars]] was chosen as the basis for the reformed [[1st Robinson Rangers|Robinson Rangers]] for their service against the [[Sixteenth Galedon Regulars]] in [[3150]], rewarding every officer of the Second with land grants easing them into her service.<ref name=DDp58/> Seeing action almost immediately against the [[First Ghost]] on the planet of [[Rochester]], with the victory against the First Ghost [[Prime Minister of Rochester|Prime Minister]] [[Rakesh Chatwal]] declared loyalty to Robinson and Baroness Sandoval. Through [[Clan Sea Fox]] agents, Sandoval began hiring large groups of mercenaries with a bias towards units with [[Draconis March]] ties. The largest and perhaps most famous mercenary command Colleen Sandoval had hired was [[Hansen's Roughriders]], and with them brought crucial information on the actions of [[Clan Wolf]] and [[Clan Jade Falcon]].<ref name=DDp58/> Sandoval allowed the Roughriders to recruit and recoup their losses from the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] and ordered them to train and organize her new militias.<ref name=DDp59/> In a move that had raised some tension between Robinson and [[New Avalon]], Baroness Sandoval diverted almost all of the production of [[Robinson Standard BattleWorks]] to equip her newly raised forces. Following Colleen Sandoval's success, news slowly spread to other worlds, and other Planetary Governers began to emulate her, with some even traveling to Robinson to meet with Baroness Sandoval in person. <ref name=DDp59/>
