New New York was one of the New England Federation’s greatest concentrations of economic and industrial might beyond Earth. The trinary system also had a massive population base, so the Space Force sent Rosalie and Rosalind to recruit as many young men and women as they could. They were on the Rikers Planet penal colony when the Shang penetrated the system defenses and initiated Winter Protocol bombardments on every major colony. They convinced the prisoners to help the guards defend the planet, and led a ragtag fleet of fighters and armed shuttles into orbit to help the planetary defenses fight off the Shang bombardment ships. It was a truly inspired move on their part.

Rosalie and Rosalind did not apply to join Cowboy Squadron when we asked for new blood at Alpha Centauri. They didn’t talk to me about it at the time, but I agreed with their reasoning when they told me later. They’d grown up with me, and we’d done everything together most of those years. They needed to chart their own path. To prove to the brass that they really were as good as their tests said they were. That they didn’t need anyone to hold them up. Death can make people question everything. So they went out and they answered those questions for everyone. Ally and enemy alike.

The Battle of Fort Wichita opened up a world of possibilities for Rosalie and Rosalind. They made ace in one battle, which brought them to the notice of the news networks. Their looks and personality did the rest, and they quickly gained fame on Earth and beyond. The Space Force decided to use that fame and sent them on recruitment drives all throughout the Core Worlds. It’s amazing how quick young men will volunteer if a pretty young lady asks them to. Make them twins, and the Space Force was beating the volunteers off with sticks. Sometimes literally. So many volunteered that the Space Force academies couldn’t even train them all.

The military brass did not trust a girl that had been comatose for weeks and her dead sister/cyber/whatever. That was way too much strangeness for them to accept without a lot of salt throwing. But Rosalie and Rosalind did score off the charts, so the Space Force recruited them with the idea of using them around Earth while they found out if the girls would work out. That meant the girls got to fight at the Battle of Fort Wichita, where they racked up a real nice kill score against the Shang. They tore an entire Shang pincer attack apart, saving two full starfighter squadrons in the process. Then all of them hit the Shang with a pincer attack of their own. I’ve seen the gun camera footage. Those two girls were true artists.
