Nondi Steiner was the younger sister of the original Katrina Steiner, but Nondi lacked her sister's interest in politics and largely stayed out of the discord between Katrina and Alessandro in 3005.
Biography
She embarked on a military career, like her elder sister and also became a Hauptmann-General. However she was a firm Lyran supremacist, highly skeptical of Katrina's peace proposals of the 3020s and hostile to the alliance with the Federated Suns. The Duchess of Gallery at the time, she considered retirement as early as 3025, the burden of command weighing heavily on her. As a General, she was known to occasionally physically abuse officers under her command for incompetence.
She remained distant from the political machinations of the Federated Commonwealth, but became enamored of her niece Katherine Steiner-Davion's "Steiner First" attitude. She became General of the Armies following Katherine's secession of the Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth and ultimately served as Regent when Katherine was on New Avalon, but remained blind to her great-niece's megalomaniacal actions, supporting her to the very end. She was killed at the age of 86 in single combat in Tharkad City with her great-nephew, Peter Steiner-Davion.
Battlemechs
For much of her career, Nondi piloted a Zeus battlemech. During the battle of Tharkad city at the end of the civil war, she used a Hauptmann OmniMech.
