A surface pilot in the Bundeswehr, Katia was rescued by the 666th TSF Squadron after the rest of her unit was destroyed. When she applies to defect to the East and asks to join the 666th, Irisdina recommends her as a replacement pilot. 

Katia believes that as long as East and West Germany continue hating each other, they'll never be able to win. Viewed as overly idealistic by others, Katia will stand up for what she believes even if others are too afraid to stand beside her, to the point others consider her a danger to be around in a country where the Stasi operate. 

Though she has little experience as a TSF pilot, she possesses natural talent and instinct, which are things that cannot be taught, which is why people view her as a potential ace pilot. 

~!Katia is East German, born as Ursula Strachwitz, named after the saint. She lived in Berlin and was the daughter of Alfred Strachwitz, the legendary war hero turned dissident leader. Before his persecution, he sent her to West Germany under a different name to live with his old friends from Hamburg, where his will would manifest in her as the idealistic girl who tries to befriend everyone and join the hands of all that fight.!~


The year is 1983. The Cold War is in full effect, and humanity is under attack. Strange aliens, given the name "BETA," have descended to Earth and have been destroying all life. Soldiers have been tasked with piloting large combat suits called Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) to repel the alien invaders, but the front line is slowly being pushed back towards the surviving cities.
 
Schwarzesmarken follows the story of Theodor Eberbach and the other members of the 666th TSF Squadron Schwarzesmarken (Black Marks), a ruthless unit that values a mission's completion over human life. Stationed in East Germany on the Oder-Neisse line and led by war hero Captain Irisdina Bernhard, the unit specializes in counterassault attacks on laser-class BETA. But the 666th Squadron finds itself with more enemies than just the alien forces when optimistic rookie Katia Waldheim joins the squadron, drawing the attention of East Germany's secret police, the Stasi.
