Alfred Gradjeda was the commanding officer of the First Free Worlds Guards as of 3037.[2]
History
During the Andurien Secession, the First Free Worlds Guards and Twenty-fifth Marik Militia were dispatched to take the rebellious planet Cursa in late 3036. While the planet's garrison was quickly defeated, a bomb attack on the First Guards' command center in January 3037 killed the unit's commanding officer and announced the Fourth Defenders of Andurien's presence on the world. Force Commander Gradjeda took command of the Free Worlds forces and prevented them from being overrun by the surprise attack before launching into a three-month campaign against the Fourth Defenders. While the Fourth Defenders eventually withdrew to Andurien in May, the brutalization of the First Guards humiliated the unit and the accompanying Twenty-fifth Militia were rendered inoperable as a fighting force.[2]
By 3050, now-Colonel Gradjeda continued to command the First Free Worlds Guards and was stationed on Berenson.[1]
