Karin Lindström

Fleet Admiral Lindström was the senior officer of the Splinter Fleet from the day of evacuation until the Fleet was officially disbanded, and its ships were incorporated into the Politeian System Defense Fleet. The last Federal Fleet officer in the PSDF at the time of first landing, Karin was seen as the memory of the Politeian people and the matriarch of the Lindström dynasty. She died in 1166, shortly after Politeia IV was settled and her sacred task complete. She was buried in the newly dedicated Tiveden Planetary Preserve. Tens of thousands of colonists attended her funeral procession.
