Samantha Sanchez was a marine in the Confederate Marine Corps. She wore a black buzz cut and had a blocky muscular body. Ryk Kydd considered her very pretty. As a lieutenant, she was assigned to the Special Tactics and Mission Platoon, 321st Colonial Rangers Battalion during the Guild Wars on Turaxis II. She took the position very seriously. Kydd developed a crush on her. He even tried to give her chocolate, but lost his chance when he "allowed" Sergeant Tychus Findlay of his platoon to steal it.
