Colonel Sven Gustavsson was the commander of the XI Hastati Sentinels' 1040th Infantry Brigade, with the Republic of the Sphere, from at least 3145 until his death in 3151.[1][2]
History[edit]
Imbros III[edit]
Gustavsson, with the 1054th Infantry Brigade, was based on Imbros III as of 3145.[1]
Battle of Terra[edit]
Gustavsson remained in command of this Brigade during the Battle of Terra in 3151, participating in the defense of South America from Clan Jade Falcon. On day T+67 of the Battle the Falcon's Omega Galaxy under Galaxy Commander Denise Mehta were sent to take Redoubt Panama, which was defended by Knight Kristoff Erbe and the XI Hastati Sentinels, including Gustavsson's 1040th Infantry.
Initially attempting a Mongol Doctrine blitzkrieg, Mehta's assault quickly devolved into a stalemate, with an attritional siege continuing until day T+72. Losing patience, at that time Khan Malvina Hazen ordered Galaxy Commander Mehta to either personally lead the next attack on the Redoubt, or be executed with her command staff for treason. In response Mehta lead the Fourth Falcon Striker Cluster against the RAF defenders the following day, with aerospace fighter support, which was sufficient to force the Hastati back into Panama City. Despite increasing losses, Mehta continued to push the Republic forces back, approaching the Panama Canal itself. Colonel Gustavsson and the 1040th Infantry attempted to defend the Pedro Miguel Locks on Day T+73 of the battle (i.e. 24 March), and managed to protect this key shipping infrastructure from being destroyed by the Fourth Falcon Striker Cluster, but at the cost of Colonel Gustavsson and most of the 1040th Infantry being killed.[2]
