Characters

Muriea McRisa

Haqua-Murasa Reigenmyon, thr original Blazing Star of Jupiter was an outlier transgene ace who flew primarily late in the war and became one of the Space Independence Alliance's best known wartime pilots. A rather private individual, her appearance and real name were never well known and eventually became classified information under the Directive 404 Shortlist providing for the security of data on highly skilled or known pilots. Instead, it was her callsign, custom suit colours and a reputation for chivalry and honour that identified her (and many other Jovian aces) in the media. Like practically all of Jupiter's remaining forces, Reigenmyon participated in the final Battle of Jupiter and was killed in action by a shot to the cockpit. Her death was kept a secret by her unit, seeing no advantage in its revelation as they prepared to withdraw from the Inner Sphere.

Decades later, Muriea McRisa was a first generation Ishtar augment born in the Republic of Cygnus. When she was a small child, her parents were victims of routine oppression as alleged rebel sympathisers and Muriea was sent off to an isolated interstellar truck stop asteroid with no one her age but where she was nevertheless (well) raised by her "Auntie". She later achieved various rather un-Ishtarlike occupations such as fuel pump operator, industrial frame operator, convenience store operator, and so on, using them and goodwill generated from an extended almost-family of passing space truck drivers to fund her genetic social instinct manifested as strange hobbies.

Muriea was in her machine during a sudden, still unexplained INTACT raid and also happened to be shot in the cockpit but managed to survive and was soon rescued by a Neo-Jove cell attempting to disrupt INTACT operations in the area. One of the members of that cell was a veteran of the Blazing Star's unit who saw a very strong physical resemblence between the Solar War ace and Muriea. After recovery, Muriea found a home in Neo-Jove and began piloting mobile suits under the veteran's tutelage, developing a high-speed, shooting-based style that was even somewhat similar to the original's.

Despite the propaganda potential the Neo-Jove media cell is currently still hesistant to explicitly link two entirely different people together. Though a late-war pilot and not personally well known, Reigenmyon had still built over two years of reputation and war record that, like many aces', had only grown since the war's end. She had been a high level transgene, held in esteem not only for skill but a myth of chivalrous conduct. In contrast, the Ishtar girl, while uncannily similar and naturally able to mimic, is hardly of natural piloting stock and remains inexperienced. Nevertheless, deniable rumors have begun spreading of the Blazing Star's return under the Neo-Jove banner
