Amelia Earhart, one of the most famous female pilots of American history. Part of her legacy is that she went missing during her journey across the world, specifically near the Bermuda Triangle. While many people report that she has since died, recent studies reveal that a group of individuals long thought dead had actually been engaged in an intergalactic war deep in outer space, Ms. Earhart being one of them.
This squadron of survivors became known as the Millennia, and the squadron was divided into four categories:
I - Infantry
II - Cavalry
III - Navy
IV - Air Support
For obvious reasons, Amelia Earhart was placed into the fourth Millennia, and has continued to serve the squadron ever since she first joined after her "disappearance."
tl;dr - amelia earhart goes missing and becomes a soldier in space.
