On 11 September [[3057]], when a [[Death Commando]] of Highlander origins, [[Loren Jaffray]] arrived, he talked about that with the Consul, showing a deep distrust towards the newcomer. On 19 September, after Catelli had attempted to kill Jaffray and Colonel [[William MacLeod]], failing, when MacLeod announced his intentions to retire the Highlander regiments from the now independent [[Lyran Alliance]], he suggested than Jaffray was manipulating him and even threatened the highlander. Later convinced Burns to call out the [[Third Royal Guards]] RCT and crush the highlanders. On 22 September, Catelli informed Burns about a secret Warrior's Cabal, MacLeod's plans to secede from the Commonwealth, and convinced him to force the Highlanders to deliver the Suns' Jaffray as spy.<ref>''Highlander Gambit'', chs. 10–13</ref> − A day later, one of Catelli's agents put a virus into the Highlanders' Mechs, making them believe than in a field exercise, they were fighting against the Guards and vice versa, but Jaffray uncovered the truth and Catelli, to do not expose himself, had to order the fight to cease, but when MacLeod ordered his forces to follow him, part of the regiment, led by Major [[Chastity Mulvaney]], instead stayed loyal to the Suns. Catelli reluctantly agreed to leave the rebels go, and even to leave Tara as a neutral ground. − Despite the fact than both sides separated without fight, a Highlander Civil War had began.<ref>''Highlander Gambit'', ch. 16</ref> The Third Royals RCT's soon joined the fight. His commander, Marshall [[Harrison Bradford (3rd Royal Guards)|Harrison Bradford]] ordered Catelli to stage some ''incident'' to take control of Tara, allowing him to prepare a death trap for [[Stirling's Fusiliers]] when they landed. Drew happily agreed, but he continued with his own plans. On 4 October, Lepeta, Catelli's agent, created the ''incident'', killing in cold blood Burns with a Highlanders' weapon to blame them.<ref>''Highlander Gambit'', ch. 24</ref> − − The same day, Catelliy informed Mulvaney and Bradford of the murder, and took Burns' place as ranking member of the diplomatic staff. When Bradford, in private, asked him if he was behind the crime, Catelli acted as a scandalized and shocked man, making him believe his innocence.<ref>''Highlander Gambit'', ch. 25</ref> − − On 17 September, Catelli intercepted Mulvaney getting out of Tara. He distrusted her, but believed she ignored Tara's trap, so he had to let her go. He only understood his mistake on 20 October, when all the ''loyal'' highlanders, led by Mulvaney, left the Davion's camp, ordering his men to pursue her, and a battle ensued. When his trap was disarmed and the Fusiliers joined the fight against the Davion forces, his Guards were devastated, so he had to flee with some of his men.<ref>''Highlander Gambit'', chs. 33–38</ref> − − ==Death== − Catelli, abandoning almost all his men, fled to a warehouse filled with explosives in the spaceport, where he joined with Lepeta. Seeing than he need his assistant's help to escape, decided to not kill him... not yet, but found himself surrounded by the Highlanders. He threatened to blow half Tara, but in vain: his trap had been disarmed. Drew refused to surrender, so Mulvaney fired into the explosives, blowing all the warehouse. Drew, Lepeta and what remained of the Guards were reduced to charred hulks, without any survivor.<ref name=HGc39>''Highlander Gambit'', ch. 39</ref> − − ==BattleMech== − Drew Catelli's 'Mech was an ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''.<ref name=HGc39/> ==References== ==References== <references /> <references /> − ==Bibliography== + == Bibliography == * ''[[Highlander Gambit]]'' (novel) * ''[[Highlander Gambit]]'' (novel) [[Category:Federated Suns Characters|Catelli, Drew]] [[Category:Federated Suns Characters|Catelli, Drew]]
