History[edit]
A relative of Terran Hegemony Director-General Jacob Cameron, Theodore shared his name with Jacob's much younger son and future Director General Theodore Cameron.
He was an officer in 132nd Heavy Armor Regiment, including on Tybalt in 2435, as part of a campaign initiated by Jacob Cameron against the Capellan Confederation. During the Battle of Tybalt, the 132nd lost its commander to a Capellan air strike, leaving Theodore to assume overall commander of the Regiment.
Rallying his troops, Theodore led from the front, breaking through the Capellan defenses at Aswan Ridge. This action resulted in a Hegemony victory, though the overall campaign remained a minor success for Jacob Cameron at most, paid for with the lives of many HAF soldiers.[1][2]
Vehicle[edit]
Theodore Cameron was known to have commanded a Merkava Mk. VII heavy tank.[1]
Notes[edit]
- The Star League sourcebook appears to suggest, but does not directly state, that the Theodore Cameron involved in the Battle of Tybalt in 2435 was Jacob Cameron's son Theodore Cameron. However, according to the Family Tree in this sourcebook that Theodore was born in 2434, making it impossible for him to be part of the battle. It was later clarified by Technical Readout: 3075 that the Theodore on Tybalt was only a "relative" of Jacob Cameron, indicating it was a different, older relative of Jacob, and not his then 1 year old son.
