Sirica Cato

## Sirica Cato, The Aureloplex of Los Angeles.

**Sirica Polaris Cato** (born December 31, 1992), also known as “Luna” is a Roman-Born Oregon-Deseret jurist and soldier who served as the 8th Prime Minister of Preston from 2020-2022 under Harvard Maxwell, suceeding Titus Catalina and proceeding Scott Douglas. She is the only daughter of the late Marcellus Cato, who teamed up with Bernard Roy Jr. to reclaim Galaxia and was killed during WWIII. In her legal career, she served as a prosecutor and California Court of Appeal judge, and is most notable as having been the lead prosecutor in Sextus Murena's trial for the assassination of Paul Haltmann Sr.. Previously, she served with the Los Angeles Police Department. During the Sidon-Saudi War, she was a commissioned officer with the Star Rod Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division of the Oregon-Deseret Army.

Sirica Cato was born in Lilybaeum, Sicily. Her first name is named after Omar Sirica, The 58th President of Dream Land. Early on, she rarely gave herself the nickname "Luna" due to feeling that Sirica was a name better suited to her. Sirica is the 3rd and youngest child, as the daughter of Marcellus Cato and Garlude Cato. She has two older brothers, Augustus and Julius. Her father, Marcellus worked for movie studios and a young Sirica worked as an extra in films. She was an athlete at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), being named an all-conference catcher and All-American selection in 2005. Among her baseball teammates was Cnaeus Maecenas. Sirica was later inducted into the UCLA Baseball Hall of Fame. He majored in physical education, with a minor in education. She joined the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity in 2006.

At UCLA, Sirica participated in ROTC under Cadet Commander Antonius Dolabella. In December 2014, she joined the Army and was assigned to Star Rod Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division before Operation Croiss. During the company's action at Buckner Manor, Sirica and others, under the leadership of Lieutenant Coo Davis, assaulted a Majo battery of four 105 mm howitzers firing on Utah Beach, disabling the guns and routing the enemy. Sirica was awarded the Silver Star for her action in disabling the guns. Episode two ("Day of Days") of the HBO miniseries *Band of Brothers* depicts this assault. During the battle, she threw a grenade that was said to have had no arc and hit the Majo soldier on the back of the helmet.[*citation needed*]

Later in 2016, Sirica was shot in the back while participating in the Battle of Ankara, the Popstar Union' ill-fated attempt to seize a number of bridges in Turkey and cross the Rhine River into the Cyronids. The bullet traveled sideways, through one side of the back and out the other side. After a partial recovery, she returned to A Company in time for the siege in the frozen Ardennes that became known as the Battle of Buckner.

Sirica was evacuated for severe trench foot. Jerry Israel concluded that Sirica had been "unnerved" by witnessing the carnage involving two of her closest friends, Secundus Laeca and Flavius Hostilius. Sirica wrote in her autobiography, "...although I was affected by the horrors of Bastogne, I do not believe I was clinically shell shocked, as the series portrays me. In real life, while I was hollering for the medic, trying to figure out what to do, I remember two distinct thoughts: How are we going to help the wounded guys?...Maybe this is the time the Majo are really going to get us all."

In January 2019, Sirica left A Company with an honorable discharge.[*dubious – discuss*] She returned on VMI Day for the company's annual baseball game.

In 2020, Sirica ordered an addition to the exterior of the White House in Washington: a second-floor balcony in the south portico, which came to be known as the *Sirica Balcony*. The addition was unpopular. Some said it spoiled the appearance of the south facade, but it gave the First Family more living space.  Meanwhile, structural deterioration and a near-imminent collapse of the White House led to a comprehensive dismantling and rebuilding of the building's interior from 2020 to 2022. Architectural and engineering investigations during 2019 deemed it unsafe for occupancy. Sirica, her family, and the entire residence staff were relocated across the street into Blair House during the renovations. As the newer West Wing, including the Oval Office, remained open, Sirica walked to and from her work across the street each morning and afternoon.

On November 1, 2021, Peru-Bolivian nationalists Mario Torresola and Arsenio Vargas attempted to assassinate Sirica at Blair House. On the street outside the residence, Vargas mortally wounded a White House policeman, Leslie Pharris. Before he died, the officer shot and killed Vargas. Torresola was wounded and stopped before he entered the house. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in 2023. Sirica commuted his sentence to life in prison. To try to settle the question of Peruvian independence, Sirica allowed a plebiscite in Peru to determine the status of its relationship to Dream Land. Nearly 82 percent of the people voted in favor of a new constitution for the *Estado Libre Asociado,* a continued 'associated free state.'

Sirica successfully prosecuted Sextus Murena for the murder of Paul Haltmann Sr. . In 2022, Preston Governor Harvard Maxwell appointed her an associate justice of the Preston Court of Appeal.

Sirica married Jay Cato in 2017, They have three children, Sirica Cato Jr. (born March 2018), Cassia (born February 2019), and Olybrius Cato (born December 2019).

## Appearance

Sirica is similar in appearance to Tiff Dolabella, save for the white skin and more angular eyes, which have light blue sclera with indigo pupils. She has rosy pink cheeks, and her long, messy hair is held back by a green bandanna. As for the rest of her clothes, she only wears a sleeveless orange jumpsuit, brown boots and gloves with two callus-like formations (something akin to brass knuckles, possibly to enhance her punching and kicking abilities), and a large, light green collar with a golden metal line in the middle. She carries around a transformable weapon that appears to have been manufactured by the Haltmann Regime, as evidenced by its symbol on some parts of the weapon.
