Star Colonel Albert Hall was the aide to Alpha Galaxy commander Galaxy Commander Lars Magnusson, and Bloodnamed warrior of the Hall Bloodhouse, from at least 3145 to 3152, and a key actor of the Dominion Civil War.[1][2]
History[edit]
Alpha Galaxy[edit]
The aide to Galaxy Commander Magnusson since at least 3145, Hall acted as commander of the Galaxy in his absence.[1] This was the case during the violence of the Dominion Civil War, which broke out once the Rasalhague Dominion was refused entrance into the Third Star League When the anti-League, Denier Omega Galaxy and Vega Protectorate forces attacked the pro-League, Joiner Alpha Galaxy, only the Seventy-third Battle Cluster escaped to warn Rho Galaxy.
Finding himself and the battered remains of Alpha Galaxy under the effective command of Rho Galaxy aide Star Colonel Esther Gilmour, as well as being cut off from the rest of the Dominion by Vega Protectorate forces, Hall was compelled to follow Gilmour's lead and settle down into defensive positions from October 3151 until early February 3152. By the end of that 5 month period, Gilmour's troops were becoming desperate due to their limited supplies. This stalemate, partly caused by Gilmour's hesitance to attack the Vega Protectorate when it was not clearly hostile, eventually broke when Star Colonel Hall convinced the 243rd Battle Cluster's Star Colonel Juanita Thastus to challenge Gilmour for command of Rho Galaxy. In the resulting Trial, Thastus killed Gilmour, and replaced her as the acting commander of Rho Galaxy.[3]
Death[edit]
With new leadership for Rho Galaxy, both Alpha and Rho followed Albert Hall in an attempted breakout back to the Dominion through the Vega Protectorate forces on Kessel. This resulted in brutal fighting against Isis Bekker-Florala's Omega Galaxy, with Hall offering Omega no zellbrigen out of a desire to wipe out what he considered dezgra Freeminders and traitors. This continued until the arrival of a peace mission in April 3052, including Alpha and Rho's actual leaders, Galaxy Commander Lars Magnusson and SaKhan Roy Jorgensson.
While Thastus and Bekker-Florala both immediately went to meet their SaKhan and agreed to help restore peace in the Vega Protectorate after hearing of the civil conflict raging within the rest of the Dominion, the meeting was interrupted by Albert Hall. Believing that Jorgensson was betraying him to the Vegans, Hall killed the SaKhan before being killed in turn by Lars Magnusson. Following this fight, Magnusson retook command of Alpha Galaxy and formally appointed Thastus as Galaxy Commander in charge of Rho Galaxy with the task of assisting Omega Galaxy in securing the Vega Protectorate.[4][5]
