Paul Kriter was a MechWarrior who served in the Northwind Highlanders' Stirling's Fusiliers, from at least 3057 to 3058.[1][2]
History[edit]
Battle of Northwind[edit]
Kriter was a member of Stirling's Fusiliers First Company, First Battalion (Kilsyth Guards) as of 3057, in which role he participated in the defense of Northwind, following the Northwind Highlanders declaring independence from the Federated Commonwealth. On 20 October Kriter was one of the Fusiliers who combat dropped on Northwind's Peace Park, following notification from the already on-world MacLeod's Regiment, that the Third Royal Guards were plotting to lure the Fusiliers into an ambush using stolen Highlander codes. Following the Fusiliers, the combined Highlander force was able to force the Third Royal Guards to retreat.[1]
Battle of Wayside[edit]
In 3058, Kriter was part of the Stirling's Fusiliers mission to attack Clan Smoke Jaguar's Deep Periphery base on Wayside, on behalf of the Draconis Combine. On 17 July 3058, when Kriter and the Kilsyth Guards were attempting to attack Jaguar airfield, they were caught before reaching their target by enemy aerospace fighters and suffered losses.[2]
On 8 August 3058, Kriter participated in the final engagement of this conflict, during which Galaxy Commander Devon Osis attempted to destroy the remaining elements of the Fusiliers which remained on Wayside after an initially unsuccessful attempt to eliminate the Smoke Jaguar presence on the world. Catching the Northwind Highlanders Regiment on the airless continent of New Scotland, the Smoke Jaguars were eventually overwhelmed by the arrival of Highlander reinforcements, as well as a Clan Nova Cat force under Star Colonel Santin West.[3]
BattleMech[edit]
At the start of the Battle of Wayside, Kriter was piloting a STH-1D Stealth BattleMech.[1] By the end of this campaign however, he was instead piloting a WVR-7M Wolverine BattleMech.[3]
