Editing Marta Wu Fei (section)

==History==
Scion of an aristocratic family, she spurned the chance to play planetary princess for a command posting in a Guard cavalry division. Leading her forces to spectacular victories, her main flaw is a habit of over-stretching her personal forces, leaving the rest of the Guard desperate to catch up to her eventually isolated positions. Few cavalry officers aspire to high command, she is one of the few that has managed to wrestle field command away from the usual tank or infantry commanders and has earned a number of promotions cementing her lofty status.

Her tactics of rapidly advancing into enemy territory, while effective in the short term and delivering her divisions many commendations, is seen as a logistical flaw by some of her superiors as she has been drawn into many desperate 'last stand' incidents that they say only by the Grace of the Emperor has she managed to prevail.

With the resurfacing of the long-lost [[Oestalan Sector]] in [ADD DATE], the High Lords of Terra decided to commission a Crusade to reclaim the system for the [[Imperium]]. While Grant was given overall Command of the Crusade itself, Marta's political connections and impressive combat record secured her a place as one of his sub-commanders. Her initial enthusiasm for the Crusade has been replaced by a deep sense of frustration at Grant's slow, meticulous rate of advance. She knows that she is a better military commander than her direct superior and that she could end this crusade within the decade, rather than by the end of the century as it is currently predicted to finish.
