Biography
Though his tactical abilities are somewhat limited his strategic ability to plan and coordinate large scale operations made him a natural choice for Galaxy Commander. [1] It is not recorded when he passed his Trial of Position, but was commander of Epsilon Galaxy in 3057, [2] but given his young age he must have been considered a Ristar. He led by example from the front in his Dire Wolf OnmiMech, as part of a Nova point paired with elementals led by Star Commander Ester. [3]
Operation Bulldog
He was specially targeted during Operation Bulldog, though to be on Tarazed large forces were sent there to eliminate him. Unknown to them Mehta had moved his command to Asgard and was preparing himself to open hostilities against the Inner Sphere. When Star League forces including the Third Benjamin Regulars and the main body of the Davion Heavy Guards landed they faced the 4th Jaguar Dragoons as well as Mehta's Command Keshik of Epsilon Galaxy. In the resulting campaign the Fourth Jaguar Dragoons were driven back by the DCMS forces, to be caught in a pincer by the Davion Heavy Guards and destroyed.[4] During the fighting Chu-Sa Onoyoko Akagi of the Third Benjamin Regulars and his Command Lance targeted Mehta Dire Wolf and brought him down with concentrated fire.
