Galaxy Commander '''Denise Mehta''' was the commander of [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]], and [[Bloodnamed]] warrior of the [[Mehta (Bloodname)|Mehta]] [[Bloodhouse]], from at least [[3145]] to [[3151]].<ref name="FM:3145p169">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 169</ref><ref name="ilClan">''ilClan'', pp. 75-76</ref>

==History==
===Fatima===
Mehta led Omega Galaxy from the [[Fatima]] based [[4th Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|Fourth Falcon Striker Cluster]] as of 3145.<ref name="FM:3145p169"/>

===Battle of Terra===
Mehta remained in command of this [[Galaxy]] during the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] in 3151, participating in [[Clan Jade Falcon]]'s South American campaign. On day T+67 of the Battle, Mehta and Omega were sent to take Redoubt Panama, which was defended by [[Knights of the Republic of the Sphere|Knight]] [[Kristoff Erbe]], and the [[XI Hastati Sentinels]]. Initially attempting a [[Mongol Doctrine]] blitzkrieg, Mehta's assault quickly devolved into a stalemate, with an attritional siege continuing until day T+72.

Losing patience, at that time [[Khan of Clan Jade Falcon|Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen]] ordered Galaxy Commander Mehta to either personally lead the next attack on the Redoubt, or be executed with her command staff for treason. In response Mehta lead the Fourth Falcon Strikers against the [[RAF]] defenders the following day, with [[aerospace fighter]] support, which was sufficient to force the Hastati back into Panama City. Despite increasing losses, Mehta continued to push the Republic forces back, approaching the Panama Canal itself. Eventually capturing the key shipping route, after heavy fighting which killed [[RAF]] [[Colonel]] [[Sven Gustavsson]] and destroyed most of his [[1040th Infantry Brigade]], Mehta then forced Sir Erbe to retreat northwards into Mexico.

Catching up with Erbe's survivors near the Yucatán Peninsula on day T+81, Mehta was able to surround the remaining Republic units, causing Sir Erbe to challenge Mehta to single combat. However, after visibly hesitating in response to the challenge, Mehta and her entire Command [[Star]] opened fire on Erbe without agreeing to terms.<ref name="ilClan"></ref>

==BattleMech==
Mehta was known to have piloted a ''[[Shrike]]'' [[BattleMech]].<ref name="ilClan"></ref>
