Nathan L. Armstrong was commander-in-chief of the Eridani Light Horse in the final years of the Third Succession War. He held the rank of Brevet General.
Overview
Nathan Armstrong was the first "outsider" to command the entire Eridani Light Horse. Born into a poor family in the Lyran Commonwealth, he was orphaned in a Kurita raid. A Light Horse family adopted him, and he trained as a MechWarrior. Armstrong joined a reconnaissance lance at the age of 18, and displayed remarkable fighting ability.[1]
Prior to his appointment, Armstrong was the regimental commander of the 151st Light Horse Regiment.[2]
Armstrong succeeded Brevet General Kerston as commander of the Eridani Light Horse in 3023. One of his first acts was to organize the defense of the planet Hoff, which was targeted by Wolf's Dragoons on behalf of House Kurita.[3][4]
