Bio:

Sigrun, whose name means "victory" in her native Icelandic, is a typical member of her planet in the Sword Worlds Confederation (a member of the League of Spinward States during the present time): tall, fair, and proud.  Her father is a Narsilian Jarl, who kept his authority even during the days when the Sword Worlds were leaned on by the Imperial Regency.  Her father was one of the Sword Worlds leaders that directed the rebellions of former Sword Worlds and Border Worlds (now called The Metal Worlds, also in the L.S.S.) against the I.R. and helped the Darrians forge the L.S.S..  When Sigrun was 18, she felt obligated to join Flota- Þjálfun Stofnun - The Naval Training Academy of Narsil.  She focused on getting her certification in Astrogation.  She graduated with honors with the class of '39 and became an Ensign in Sjóher af Narsil....

When Avery made his Call to arms in 1243, the L.S.S. responded.  It was all voluntary; no fleet was obligated to join.  The Sword Worlds and Metal worlds did, among others in the L.S.S., The Republic of Regina, even the thrice-cursed Imperial Regency.  No matter the outcome, this campaign promised to be one grand trip to Valhalla...

During the last days of the fighting during the Second Battle of Gateway in 1247, the situation looked completely hopeless.  The captain of Sigrun's ship ship allowed the Lucan Virus to infect his ship for the final desperate assault.  The ship jumped into the Gateway system and participated in the biggest naval battle in Post-Ancient Era history.

Her ship was nearly destroyed, but it barely held - even after the bridge took a direct hit.  Her captain was trapped under her Astrogation console, however.  Ignoring the carnage and risk of being left behind by the crew abandoning ship, she managed to pull off the wreckage from on top of the Captain, saving his life.  Sigrun, along with the Captain and the pilot, managed to obtain jet packs.  They tied themselves together and the pilot manuvered the jetpack away from the wreckage.  The Captain activated an Emergency Radio Beacon as they watched Lucan's Flagship make its plummet directly into the Gateway Station itself.  The explosions and disarrayed Dominate forces was a thing to see.  Eventually, they were retrieved by a surviving Zhodani missile cruiser as it was preparing to jump out to the rendezvous point.

It was many more weeks before she saw the stars of home again.  Finally, she was back on Narsil.  She received the Medal for Conspicuous Gallantry for her actions at the SBOG (and, more importantly, surviving it!).

Sigrun was tapped out after the Battle.  She felt she needed a change of pace.  She resigned her commission - to her father's protests.  She did know that she could control her own hlutskipti (destiny).  Her father hoped she would stay so she could marry the one that would take his place.  She had other thoughts.  She said goodbye to her family and booked working passage that led her into Regina space.


As for now, she is restless.  She picked up the traveling bug from her Navy career.  There was something about crewing on tramp freighters that appealed to her.  She is hoping to sign on as a permanent crewmember on one.  There is a man named Admag who is calling for people to help crew his far trader, the "Argent Dawn."  Maybe he needs a real Astrogator........
