Before the War[]
Carmen is the daughter of a Fleet veteran. After they graduate from high school, Carmen and Rico's best friend Carl Jenkins join the Federal Service Johnny Rico decided to join up as well out of his love for Carmen. She excelled at mathematics and was easily accepted into the Fleet Academy, where she became the pilot of the Rodger Young. However, she decides to go career and breaks up with Johnny.
Battle of Klendathu[]
Carmen was one of the pilots of the Rodger Young toward Klendathu and offloaded the ships. While worried about the plasma blasts, Captain Deladier told her that reports said it was random and light. However, as ships started to be destroyed, the crew realized that the report had been wrong. She was ordered to go into high orbit but the ship was grazed by a plasma blast, damaging the ship and seemingly killing her. However, during the aftermath Battle of Klendathu, in which massive troops were killed, she survived the battle and learned that Rico has been killed. However, Rico was only wounded in action.
Ambush in Whiskey Outpost[]
Carmen and Zander were sent to the Whiskey Outpost to rescue the Roughnecks. When the boat landed, Zander jumped out to provide support fire until all troops are board. Before they could board, Dizzy Flores was wounded by a Warrior Bug after she killed the Tanker Bug that killed Lt. Rasczak. Rico, Ace, Watkins, an unamed trooper and Zander rescued her. Zander informed Carmen that she should know that Rico was not killed at the Battle of Klendathu and alive. Rico approached the cockpit and ordered Zander to get on the comm and tell fleet to bombard Planet P, asking who was in charge. Rico gave a respond that he was in command of the mission. Carmen presumed that he was killed, but a lot of his troops had perished and his request was denied.
She had an impromptu meeting with herself, Rico, and Karl, whom was now a colonel in Military Intelligence. He told them some very hard facts about the ongoing war with the Arachnids and some other harsh realities.
Invasion of Planet P[]
In the Invasion of Planet P, the Rodger Young is hit by a bug plasma. Carmen and Zander Barcalow escaped the ship, landing in the Bug colony. Zander's brain is eaten by the brain bug, but Carmen is saved when Rico and the Roughnecks arrive in time. At the end of the film, Carmen is shown to have been promoted to captain and assigned to Athena.
First Multiverse War[]
John.A Warden Incident[]
Mission to Endor[]
Carmem was present among the officers to receive a hail from Akbar on the reports of the stolen plans of the Galactic Empire's newest weapon, the Death Star II, reviewing the reports of the previous battle station that destroyed a planet and discovered this one was much larger and more advance with many of the Axis states poured their resources into this station. Received the strategies to command her fleet into the Viau Endor System as a chance to crush one of the Axis' most powerful states and potentially cripple other factions aligned with them if they were gathering in one area. However, learning they held dimensional gates on each of Endor's moons to hide it's actual location. She took command of the allied fleet under Ackbar's command
Personality[]
Carmen was shown to be flirtatious, teasing, and peppy. She wanted to be a pilot more than anything and despite being Johnny's girlfriend does not seem to fully reciprocate the feelings he has for her. Eventually she desires to go career and breaks up with him. Like Jonny she initially see's her time in the military as fun and joyful but the Klendathu incident shows her the reality of life in the military and over time hardens into a capable and excellent captain of her own starship. As shown in the John A. Warden incident she has become very protective of her ships when faced against the stronger foes of the Axis of Empires. To the point she would attack her best friend Carl about taking her ship. However her time in the military has turned her into a strong, and independent individual but she's also suspicious of their motives especially when Carl is involved.
Unlike Johnny, however, she did not just follow orders blindly and will often question the reason behind them. This is especially true with Carl's orders, also despite being his best friend she is suspicious of his motives especially during the John A. Warden Incident and the Bug invasion on Mars. Despite her suspicions though she ultimately trusts him even if she doesn't like his orders she will obey them but not without some fuss. When the Federation was reformed into the Systems Federation, she found it better as a democratic nation than the old ways and not wanting to be something similar to the Imperium of Man or the Galactic Empire.
Since being introduced to the Alliance Joint Military, Carmen eagerly wanted to learn many of the various of allied starships and officers such as the UNSC and the United Federation of Planets to work with. She has demonstrated to be willing to work with non-humans as she was willing to follow orders from Admiral Ackbar, a Mon Calamari from Dac in the Viau Universe. She began to learn many of the Axis' strongest members and officers to study each one and how to counter them when she learned from others of how they adapted to the situation, using the knowledge of her enemies to help protect her ships and save lives more in each battle. She has shown to be aware of more hostile species more advance and terrifying than the Arachnids, not just the Combine, but Xenomorphs and Tyranids that make the Arachnids small.
