Marie Durand

Background
Marie Durand was an Eagle fighter pilot in the Atlantic Union Navy, stationed aboard the Breitenfeld during the Mission to Saturn, a ploy orchestrated by Marc Ibarra in order to avoid the Xaros invasion of Earth.

History
Lieutenant Marie Durand was the wing commander of the 103rd Eagle Squadron.

Before the Xaros Invasion
During the Mission to Saturn, the fleet was attacked by a Chinese Q Ship, along with a compliment of Jiantou Fighters and Jian Bombers. Durand and her flight fought off the Chinese attack force, although her wing-mates Sledge and Jenkins were lost in the battle. Durand and squadron Commander Albrecht were damaged in the dogfight. Durand managed to get her fighter back into the hangar of the Breitenfeld, but when the Slipcoil Engines engaged unexpectedly, Albrecht was caught outside of the bubble and left behind.
