[[File:AnastasiaArkelius.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Lord Admiral]] {{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|2}}]]
The younger sibling of [[General]] [[Derian Arkelius]], Anastasia Arkelius has enjoyed a more successful career than her older brother, having reached the higher ranks of the Admiralty while still only in her first century. At the beginning of the [[Achilus Crusade]], she served as a Rear Admiral, newly promoted, overseeing the movement of vessels through the [[Jericho-Maw]] [[Warp Gate]] and liaising with the [[Battlefleet Calixis]] Admiralty to maintain supply lines. After [[Lord Militant]] [[Achilus]]’ death, Arkelius found herself elevated to Admiral, as Lord Militant [[Tetrarchus]] began to rearrange the Crusade’s command staff. Placed in command of the six Navy [[battlegroupImperial Navy Battlegroup|Navy battlegroups]]s of the [[Orpheus Salient]]—Icarus, Argo, Cerberus, Daedalus, Vishnu and Santos—she was shortly thereafter elevated to Lord Admiral and commander of all Imperial Navy forces within the Salient.{{Fn|1}}
Being a fine tactician and a responsible commander, Arkelius understands the weight of command well, and the burdens of the Admiralty are great indeed, with the lives of hundreds of millions of souls on thousands of ancient, venerated and often irreplaceable starships, within her hands. She has earned the utmost respect from the crew of her flagship, the Emperor’s Nobility, and by the Admirals, Commodores and Captains of her fleet.{{Fn|1}}
