'''Vasily Sandoval''' was the [[Federated Suns]]' Duke of [[Robinson]] and [[Field Marshal]] of the [[Draconis March]].<ref name=ER:2750p74>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 74, "Vasily Sandoval Profile"</ref>
Vasily Sandoval studied at the [[New Avalon Military Academy]] despite showing little interest in the military. His instructors saw he was not a natural [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] and it was only his sharp wit and near-photographic memory of geography and astrocartography that allowed him to barely graduate from the academy.<ref name=ER:2750p74/>
 
 
 
Sandoval was given command of a [[lance]] of [[BattleMech]]s on [[Benet III]] when the [[War of Davion Succession]] broke out. The [[Draconis Combine]] invaded the system and, as all navigational satellites had been destroyed in the initial stages, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns|AFFS]] forces on-world almost immediately lost accurate positioning and relied on sometimes-incorrect survey maps. Sandoval thus became the nucleus of resistance forces by coordinating unit movements and locations in his head.<ref name=ER:2750p74/>
 
 
 
Sandoval was evacuated from Benet and his skill was repeatedly used throughout the war as he moved up the chain of command. He anticipated enemy troop movements over the worlds he was familiar with and took part in the liberation efforts of nearly half of the [[House Kurita|Kurita]]-occupied worlds taken during the war. His brilliance and contributions to the Federated Suns was rewarded with the title and position of March Lord of the Draconis March.<ref name=ER:2750p74/>
