Ostola Stellwar was Leftenant-General of the First Lyran Regulars at the time of it demise during the Clan Invasion.[1]
Character History[edit]
Later days[edit]
Ostola Stellwar had performed well in both the Fourth Succession Was and in the offensive against the Combine known as the War of 3039, but age and stubbornness had taken their toll.
The general dismisses the attackers as merely a particular successful group of pirates. He passed the intelligence to their subordinates, but did not change his mind and his response plan. The 1st of July Clan Wolf forces issued a challenge to the defenders of Ridderkerk, a message the General ignored.
He ordered his troops to dig in and planned to use his infantry as perimeter defense, followed by support armor and finally his BattleMech forces. He did not commit any recon or quick-response group and simply remained dug-in just outside Thelma Forest. By digging in and throwing only his infantry at the advancing Elementals, Stellwar forced his troops down the path of certain defeat. Despite valiant efforts and a number of units that directly disobeyed his orders, Clan Wolf all but destroyed the once-fearsome First Lyran Regulars within a matter of hours.[1]
