Cassie

" Some have, questioned, her 'abilities' "

- Breslin commenting on Cassie

Background

Cassandra McConnell, widely known as "Cassie" by herself and fellow squad mates is a highly trained Lieutenant in the Systems Alliance. Cassie has had multiple outbursts in her career with the Alliance due to her invasive attitude, causing her to be monitored at one point by Alliance officials for an entire year after she refused to resign from her position. After completing mass amounts of therapy sessions assigned and paid for by Alliance officials, she was granted back her previous position with minor surveillance. Her intense training skills and hardcore tactics made her a candidate for Alliance Special Forces, which she achieved and operated in for 6 years until she was hand-picked by Alliance president Niven Breslin for ARKCON's re-launch. Breslin monitored Cassie's methods and tactics for 4 years before picking her for his project, announcing that he would hand pick at least 3 highly trained operatives to take in on a small team to explore Andromeda.
