Captain Stanley Crosetti was a MechWarrior and officer, serving in the Eleventh Recon Battalion, Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment of the Eridani Light Horse, during the thirty-first century.[1][2]

History[edit]

Early Career[edit]

As of 3025, the then MechWarrior Crosetti was a member of the Command Lance, Tenth Recon Company of the Eleventh Recon Battalion.[1]

Battle of Coventry[edit]

By 3058, Crosetti had transferred to the Third Recon Company ("Slashers") of the Eleventh Recon Battalion, with which he fought against Clan Jade Falcon in the Battle of Coventry. During this campaign, the then commander of the Third Recon Company Captain R.C. Gutjahr was killed, leaving Crosetti in temporary command of the company. During the rebuilding of the unit following Coventry, this promotion was made permanent by Brevet General Ariana Winston at the request of Colonel Sandra Barclay.[2]

Task Force Serpent[edit]

In 3059 Crosetti participated in the training on the Federated Commonwealth world of Defiance with the Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment, as part of the preparation of Task Force Serpent before their mission to the Clan Homeworlds to attack Clan Smoke Jaguar.

During this training, on 22 February, Crosetti led his company in a war game against the Knights of the Inner Sphere on the Crossmolina Highlands. In this mock engagement, despite his long combat experience from several campaigns, Crosetti's company suffered the simulated loss of more than half its strength. This included Crosetti's 'Mech, which was downed by a simulated Gauss rifle fired from a Knights' Zeus which was standing in for a Clan Gladiator.[2]

BattleMech[edit]

Stanley Crosetti was known to have initially piloted a Wolverine BattleMech in 3025.[1] By 3059, however, he was using a Hunchback.[1][2]
