Tom Stancel was the leader of the Twelfth Vegan Rangers from 3048 to 3067.[1] He was born in Federated Suns territory and grew up within the military hierarchy and structures of the Rangers, eventually leading them into battle throughout the FedCom Civil War and into the Word of Blake Jihad.[2]
History
Born in 3002 to two 'MechTechs working in the employ of the Twelfth Vegan Rangers, Stancel was lucky enough to have his education at the Federated Suns' prestigious Sakhara Academy sponsored by the unit. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the Twelfth Vegan Rangers' Beta Regiment, but quickly demonstrated his abilities and proficiency and was transferred to their Alpha Regiment in 3042. His skills, demeanor, and leadership as an officer in that regiment made such an impression on its current commanding officer, General Douglas Sheridan, that when Sheridan retired from the Rangers, he named Stancel as his successor.[2]
General Stancel led the Twelfth Vegan Rangers in their defense of the Capellan and Sarna Marches as they were contracted by the Federated Commonwealth to protect the border while the AFFC pivoted to focus on and deal with the threat Clan Invasion.[3] Stancel blamed the loss of the Rangers' Delta Regiment during the fall of the Sarna Marches during Operation Guerrero on decisions made by Katherine Steiner-Davion. This resentment grew as Katherine, aware that the Twelfth Vegan Lancers were a historical Davion-loyal mercenary unit, lowered their priority on logistics, forcing Stancel to look to outside sources for refit and resupply.[2]
