Alexis Alexander



"My greatest superweapon is my brain!"
 * Alexis

General Alexis Alexander was a 4-star general in the US Marine Corps during the war against the GLA. As a logistics staffer in the Second Korean War, Alexander attracted the notice of her superiors with her ability to acquire almost anything. Alexander harnessed this ability further to win a scholarship, followed by a long and distinguished career in the Marines. During the earlier stages of the GLA conflict, Alexander developed a tiered system of defenses that did not allow a single strike on her supply columns. Alexander became known for her strong emphasis on resource acquisition and defense in the early stages of a conflict, going on the counter-attack only when she had overwhelming firepower that was untouchable by the enemy. Her use of Particle Cannons to this end earned her the moniker of 'Superweapon General'.

General Alexander was stationed at Camp Franklin, Belfast, Maine, USA, with the Class Number 07121969-HB.

Army
"Your rush tactics will not work on me!"
 * Alexis

General Alexander caused enemy commanders great frustration with her reliance on near-impenetrable defensive weapons. She replaced the US standard Patriot Missile System with the EMP Patriot, which fired Patriot missiles with EMP warheads, capable of disabling enemy vehicles and instantly downing aircraft. Because of the power needed for these defenses, and for Alexander's Particle Cannons (which cost half as much as normal for her to construct on the battlefield), Alexander was granted first use of Advanced Control Rods for her power plants. Alexander also utilized the next-generation Aurora Alpha attack bomber, equipped with Fuel Air Bombs. Certain promotional powers were granted to Alexander at a lower rank, and she had more advanced access to the Spectre Gunship than most generals.

Flaws and Personality
"I WAS USING THAT WAR FACTORY GENERAL!!"
 * Alexis was using the factory to build defending Avengers until somebody destroys it

Alexander's ground forces were lacking, owing to her defensive priority. She had access to neither the the Crusader nor Paladin tanks, while remaining ground vehicles cost more for her to produce. She was potentially very vulnerable early on in a conflict, when she might not have the resources to build the defenses and Auroras she required, and incurred several losses this way. Due to her nigh-on impossible to penetrate defenses Alexander acquired a childish personality, believing her natural defense combined with her EMP technology would stop any attackers dead in their tracks. Indeed, this worked to some extent, but her base was susceptible to economic collapse, as her supply line was based on an uncharacteristically lightly defended supply base on an island west of her defence wall. Other than this, she relied on a Supply Drop Zone in her base that was a potential Achilles' heel.
