Sergeant Lester "Canner" Lukas was an officer with Wolf's Dragoons and member of the Seventh Kommando.[1][2]
History[edit]
While after his death Lukas was thought by ComStar researchers to still be a member of Fourth Platoon (Shadow Platoon, Black Wolf), Motorized Infantry (Laser) of the Seventh Kommando as of 3030,[2] he in fact commanded a Seventh Kommando squad which perished in 3028 on An Ting.[1]
Lukas was with the Dragoons on An Ting in January 3028 when their then employers, the Draconis Combine turned against them. On 3 January he participated in "Contingency Plan Mohammed," a plan that had been developed after the experience with Anton Marik, which involved a raid on the HPG compound in Cerant in order to send a message to the scattered Dragoon forces ordering them to withdraw and regroup on the ice planet Misery.[1][3]
This was ultimately a suicide mission, as the small group of dedicated Dragoon soldiers and technicians who, with Lukas, fought their way into the HPG compound, were killed after their message was sent by Draconis Combine troops (including four 7-man squads from the An Ting Civilian Guidance Corps, an elite Kurita Civilian "Volunteer" Squad and a Vulcan 'Mech).[1][4]
