Hans VerBeck II was a member of the Fifth Sword of Light during the Fourth Succession War.[1]
History[edit]
In January 3029, Hans VerBeck II served in the Fire Lance of the Second Company within the First Battalion, aka The Blades of Death, of the Fifth Sword of Light when the unit was assigned to assault the world of Northwind to relieve pressure on the Capellan Confederation. The Sword of Light was joined by the Thirty-sixth Dieron Regulars and the Genyosha to drive the defending Fifth Deneb Light Cavalry, Team Banzai and Bradley's Bravos off world.[2]
During the fighting, Tai-sho Palmer Conti, commander of the Fifth Sword of Light, initiated a plan to poison the water supply of Northwind's capital city, Cromarty City, which led to thousands of deaths in the civilian and Federated Suns defenders. This forced the defenders to fall back with defeat almost certain until the arrival of the Northwind Highlanders mercenary unit turned the tide and drove off the Kuritan invaders.[2]
