Samuel Ostergaard II was the captain of the DropShip, Newgrange. He was responsible for supplying ammunition to the Aurigan Directorate with the cooperation of the Taurian Concordat.[2]
History
Samuel joined the Taurian Defense Force like his father at some unknown point of time.
In 3023 Samuel was working alongside former Kell Hounds pilot Andrea Hillson who hired her Slayer out for DropShip security operations. From this union John Hillson was born in 3024.[1]
Death
As mercenary forces in the employ of Lady Arano (for Lord Simon Karosas) descended on Anvelt, they were given orders to disable the DropShip's engine. The Arms Dealer opened up communications to Lady Arano urging her not to attack the Newgrange. She asked the Arms Dealer to surrender, but he cut his communications with her. When the Arms Dealer refused her order, Kamea gave the mercenary unit permission to destroy the fuel tanks next to the Newgrange, destroying the DropShip and taking the dealer with it.
Legacy
Kamea: "Your son was aboard the Newgrange, wasn't he? That's what this is about."
Samuel: "He was the Captain of the Newgrange. You spoke to him. I listened to his flight recorder -- I heard you order his death."
Kamea: "If that is the truth, then you know that I ordered him to stand down."
Samuel: "He was under orders. He couldn't stand down. But even if he could, do you think that matters? He was my son."
--Lady Kamea realizing that the Arms Dealer was Samuel's son.
When word of the Newgrange's destruction reached Taurian space, Samuel Ostergaard allied with Victoria Espinosa to bring down the Aurigan Restoration. He would take his revenge so personally, that he would even forsake his duty to the Taurian Concordat and get dishonorably discharged from their Navy. His grief and determination to avenge his son would cost him his life.[2]
Notes
- Initially only featured in the apocryphal computer game BattleTech video game, the character was refered to only by their role of "Arm Dealer".[2] The short stort Second to None would eventually name the character as Samuel Ostergaard II. Broad strokes of this character history are cannon, but some details might remain apocryphal.
