'''Elise Graham''' was the wife of [[First Lord of the Star League|First Lord]] [[Richard Cameron (28th c.)|Richard Cameron]].

==History==
Elise Graham was from England on [[Terra]], and in her adolescence attended Lake Stephens Grammar School. In [[2760]], she met first-term student Richard Cameron, a spiteful 16-year-old set on dominating his classmates. Graham would publicly mock Cameron whenever he tried to bully her, and even slapped him and punched one of his bodyguards when they tried to intervene. Rather than respond with anger, Cameron laughed and fell in love. Her strength of spirit and determination to "rescue" him won him over, and they married three years later in early [[2763]]. Their daughter [[Amanda Cameron|Amanda]] was born in February [[2766]].<ref name=H:LoT1p57/>

Following [[Stefan Amaris]]' takeover of the [[Terran Hegemony]] and murder of Richard Cameron on 27 December 2766, seventy-nine members of the [[House Cameron|Cameron]] family were quickly detained by [[Rim Worlds Army|Republican]] forces, many of whom were already in [[Unity City (Terra III)|Unity City]] for various festivities. After initially showing them kindness and comfortable accommodations, Amaris had them all brought to the Throne Room on 21 January [[2767]]. Under the premise that he did not want anyone to challenge his rule, he required everyone to swear fealty to him and forswear any claim to the Hegemony or [[Star League]] thrones. Elise Graham refused for both her and her daughter, as did the next eighteen relatives.<ref name=H:LoT1p28/><ref name=SLp83>''The Star League'', p. 83: "Throne Room Massacre"</ref>

The twenty-first member of the family to be asked was Jason Cameron-Bashina. He knelt before the Emperor and pledged his undying loyalty to him, to which he was subsequently shot dead with the same pistol that killed Richard. The remaining Camerons, realizing their lives were lost, attempted to rush Amaris on the throne, only to be cut down by his guards. Amaris left the chamber and ordered it sealed, leaving their fallen bodies as they were until [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] liberated Unity City in [[2779]].<ref name=H:LoT1p28/><ref name=SLp83/>
