Adam Steiner
Sarna News
Member of a cadet line of the Steiner family who first rose to prominence in a daring reconnaissance mission through territory held by the Jade Falcons. Noted for liberating his homeworld of Somerset in a Trial of Possession against Star Captain Nicholai Malthus (who had developed a personal enmity with Steiner); this victory was soured, however, by the Falcons decision to relocate the world's population before the trial took place.
Adam remained in the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces when Katherine Steiner seceded from the Federated Commonwealth, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General. He was involved in the defense of the Lyran Alliance against the Jade Falcons when they attacked during the FedCom Civil War, and was the commander of the Lyran forces during Operation Audacity. He negotiated the Blair Atholl agreement after fighting the Falcons alongside troops sent by Victor Steiner-Davion.
When the civil war ended, Steiner was named General of the Armies. He would later succeed Peter Steiner-Davion to the Archonship of the Lyran Alliance, after Peter was forced from power by diehard Steiner loyalists.
