Galaxy Commander Lawrence Roshak was the commander of Zeta Galaxy, and Bloodnamed warrior of the Roshak Bloodhouse as of 3151.[1][2]
History[edit]
Alphecca[edit]
As of 3145, Roshak was a Star Colonel in command of the Tenth Falcon Talon Cluster, which was based on Alphecca.[1]
Battle of Terra[edit]
Following the capture of Zeta Galaxy's former CO Noritomo Helmer by Clan Wolf on Skye in 3150, Roshak was promoted to Galaxy Commander to replaced him as the leader of Zeta Galaxy.[3] Still in this role during the during the Battle of Terra in 3151, he participated in Clan Jade Falcon's European campaign. On day T+36 of the Battle, Roshak and Zeta were sent to take Redoubt Normandy, which was defended by the Northwind Highlanders. Disagreeing with Vau Galaxy's CO Christina Buhallin about how to approach this task, the two commanders decided to attack the fortifications from different sides, with Zeta moving on the Normandy side.
During this siege, after a sally by the Highlanders managed to destroy Vau Galaxy's artillery ammunition stores, Roshak refused a request from Buhallin to share Zeta's remaining stocks. A Trial of Possession ensured, which Buhallin quickly won in hand-to-hand combat, though she was unable to benefit as the Highlander also destroyed her artillery launchers in another behind the lines strike. Despite these setbacks, Roshak and Zeta continued to grind through the defenses of the Republic of the Sphere's Redoubt, having broken through the first three layers by day T+51.[2]
