Mordecai Sandoval was a Federated Suns nobleman.
History[edit]
The Dark Age[edit]
During the rebuilding of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns Tancred was responsible for the restructuring of the Robinson Rangers, reorganizing the Robinson March Brigade and disbanding the Second Robinson Rangers, creating in their place the First and Second Robinson Strikers LCTs. Tancred also kept the First Rangers on McComb for two years with barely enough supplies to remain operational, chastening them for their recent actions; the Rangers returned to Robinson in 3082, humbled and loyal to Robinson but still possessed of a determined hatred for Tancred. In what was believed to be a peace offering, Tancred appointed his cousin, Jerome Sandoval, the commanding officer of the Robinson March Brigade.[3]
The Robinson March remained divided, however; Mordecai and another cousin of Tancred's, Jerome Sandoval, retained the support of traditionalist hardline families within the March, and those families continued to retain a degree of influence. One example of the power wielded by those families was the rebuilding of the Robinson Draconis March Militia, something that Tancred had hoped to delay due to the negative history associated with the unit, but which Jerome and Mordecai forced through by presenting Tancred with both the funds and volunteers needed to rebuild the Militia - both having come from the hardline families.[4]
In 3095 a civil war erupted briefly on Robinson, during which Jerome Sandoval became Draconis March Lord and Duke of Robinson.[5]
Republic[edit]
Mordecai and his wife Edwina would emigrate to the Republic of the Sphere. His grandson Aaron would eventually be a major figure in return worlds back to the Federated Suns.[6]
