Equipment: As a commander of a CTF company, Katrin uses a Command-variant Shinobi gear.Powers: Katrin has no powers besides being at peak human condition.Time will tell what toll Battleworld's myriad new sights and sounds will take on her. Normally her hard attitude is papered over with a stoic presence, but being pushed into territory unknown to her is the fastest way for her belligerent streak to emerge. She's missed out on several opportunities thanks to a fear of change, and even starting her military career because she was afraid of losing those she loved after Earth's antimatter bomb leveled the lower city. Her loyalty to her home goes even beyond that, though underpinning much of this is ample fear.

Katrin doesn't take any nonsense, and is a professional soldier through-and-through. She fights hard, she drinks hard, she speaks hard, and she's hard on everyone and everything around her. She typically wears a no-frills jumpsuit similar to the Black Talon pilots she was once a member of. Her strong wiry build reflects her extensive time training as a member of PRDF's special forces. Though her last name has been mangled by the couple thousand years of Terra Nova colonization, her physical appearance still vaguely refers to her Scottish roots, with red hair and green eyes. Appearance: Katrin is a short, athletic woman.It was not long until Peace River was spearheading international efforts to take to the stars, sending Black Talon expeditions out to other forgotten colonies of Earth to fight their oppressive, estranged homeworld, and Gerald would have his revenge for the attempted destruction of his people. Gerald took lessons learned from the last war of the CEF and built a coalition force, this time extending the invitation to the Polar Leagues, codenamed the Talon Project. Gerald would take advantage of this to push through even more reforms to entice badlanders into the city-state itself, while the world rallied around the destruction of the largest neutral zone in the Badlands to strike back at Earth once more. Over the next decade, bolstered by Paxton's own heavy manufacturing, the city was able to rebuild itself quickly, but filling it in with people was a much trickier proposition and the city still remains at a fraction of its prior population. While most of the key personnel were in the tower above, and most of the critical systems buried below, the explosion gutted the residences and secondary businesses of the working class of the city, hollowing it out both physically and socially.

Twenty years into his reign, however, Earth struck once more, detonating an antimatter bomb within the armored shell of Peace River. He then turned his attentions inward, streamlining Peace River's three-caste system and implementing more egalitarian measures throughout its society. The courage and bravery of these ragtag misfits inspired Gerald, and when he was elected CEO of Paxton Arms in TN 1918, he started doing everything he could to recognize them.

He got them the best equipment the company was willing to offer, and when the time came, these forces struck the CEF with an intensity which sent the Earth invaders from their defensive holdouts to full flight. This frequent interaction with badlanders and the organized Leagueless militias instilled in him a great respect for those who suffer for their friends and families outside the aegis of the Polar Leagues or other notable powers.
