History
Early Career
Stern, a quiet man, was early in this career considered perhaps the best light fighter pilot in his unit. Almost bird-like in the air, his dogfights quickly turned into games of cat and mouse.

Late Career
After decades of service with the Third Sword of Light, by 3075 had slowed down, and moved up to a heavier fighter. Using the greater firepower provided by the LB-X Autocannon in his new ride, he preferred the cluster rounds against lighter enemies, and slug rounds against heavier foes.[2]
Vehicle
Stern was initially known to pilot a Sholagar light aerospace fighter.[1] Later in his career he moved up to a LTN-16O Lightning medium aerospace fighter.[2]
