Angus Graham was the commander of the Tartan Brigade during the Reunification War.
History[edit]
Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rim Provisional Government.[2] The Star League eventually decided to intervene in support of Amaris and assembled Task Force MAILED FIST, a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, but atrocities such as the one performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584 resulted in the Rim Worlders putting aside their differences to focus on the common enemy.[3]
By 2581, Colonel Angus Graham and his Tartan Brigade were stationed on the world of Illium in the Apollo Province of the Republic.[4] Illium was considered a personal fief of the Amaris family and was famed for the "topless towers" within the capital city, Troy.[1] Unsurprisingly, the Tartan Brigade remained loyal to Amaris throughout the civil war.[5]
SLDF General Nathan Isaacson assigned the Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division to the conquest of Illium in 2589.[6] The Sixteenth was one of three divisions that made up VI Corps and landed on Illium in March 2589, meeting immediate resistance from the Tartan Brigade. However, when faced with the prospect of bitter battles in the very streets of Troy itself, Graham made the pragmatic decision to surrender his forces to the Sixteenth, rather than risk damaging the city. Gregory Amaris subsequently approved of the decision, personally decorating Graham after the war for his good judgment.[1]
Angus Graham disappeared in 2599 and was presumed a victim of Hakim Wbika's military coup that ousted Gregory Amaris from power.[1]
