Otto von Strang was Baron von Strang in the last days of the Third Succession War.[1]
History
He was the resident Baron of Von Strang's World at the end of the Third Succession War, who personally cherished dreams of launching a Holy War of Redemption, in which he would reclaim the Republic. Otto von Strang despised the Star League and extended that prejudice to encompass all things originating from the Inner Sphere; items or people originating from the Inner Sphere were subject to immediate confiscation or imprisonment when discovered. Continuing to preach of an "inevitable" invasion of Von Strang's World by the Inner Sphere, Otto von Strang continued to ensure that the population remained locked into a feudal relationship with the various local Wardens, providing continued labor and services in exchange for food. To further his plans for a Holy War and planning to recapture the lost worlds of the Rim Worlds Republic for his own, Von Strang had managed to build up his military forces to more than a battalion of 'Mechs supported by two DropShips and a single JumpShip, and he had launched a number of raids against outposts on the border of the Lyran Commonwealth. The Lyran officials ignored these raids as not worthy of retaliation.[1]
