Colonel '''Lorena Farmer''' was the commander of the [[Florida Timbuktu Theater Militia]], with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], from at least [[3145]] to [[3148]].<ref name=FM3145>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 132</ref><ref name=SFp25/>

==History==
Farmer, with the Florida TTM, was based on [[Halifax]] as of 3145.<ref name=FM3145></ref> Fiercely loyal to [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Trillian Steiner]], when she learned of the formation of the separatist [[Buena Collective]] by [[Diego Widmer]] in [[3146]], she deployed her unit to [[Urjala]] to prevent it from defecting from the Commonwealth. On arrival, Farmer deposed the planetary council, and dug in to await reprisals from Widmer.<ref name=SFp25/>

After this counter-attack never came, in [[3147]] Farmer joined the assault on Widmer's homeworld of [[Ayacucho]], which became a protracted stalemate. While lacking significant support from the local population or [[Tharkad]], Farmer focused on conducting short raids near the Widmer family's estates, preserving her forces while imposing a personal cost on the Buena Collective leader.<ref name=SFp42>''Shattered Fortress'', pp. 42-43</ref>

This situation continued for a year until January 3148, when Colonel Farmer attempted to use the increasing disquiet amongst the local population at Widmer's failure to reinforce the [[2nd Collective Guards|Second Collective Guards]], by dropping fliers from anti-Widmer dissidents onto the Buena Collective positions. While this was not effective, by 9 January Commonwealth reinforcements in the form of [[Task Force Kingbreaker]] arrived, which was eventually successful in forcing the surrender of the Second Collective Guards.<ref name=SFp47>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 47</ref>
