Gunther Hoerst, (born June 26th, 778 A.S.) is a squadron commander in the Red Hessian Army, under the rank of Major. He also serves as Meisnerr's executive officer, and is often briefed by the Brigadegeneral himself and ordered to lead most RHA missions deemed important.
Hoerst is the founder of the Spezialoperationabteilung (Department of Special Operations) within the Red Hessian Army. This group has been in charge of all anti-Wilde operations across Hessian territory, in addition to heavily cooperating with the SCRA in several fields, including joint defence and weapons research.
Life
Gunther Hoerst was born in one of the few Stuttgart slums built around the largest shuttle ports on the planet. His parents (names unknown) were involved in the ongoing WVS legal actions against Synth Foods, Inc., being directly affected by the corporate giant as part of a motion to buy out a set of estates for "re-purposing". Having lost that battle and their holdings, they were forced to resettle around the planetary export terminals. Young Gunther was raised in deep patriotism, with the belief however that the corporations were responsible for the slow downfall of his nation. He was coached by his father to join the Military during his teen years to prepare for the "inevitable clash of Rheinland and Liberty", and he eventually signed up for the Stuttgart Military Academy in 795 A.S. graduating with honours 4 years later and proceeding to serve as a young officer during the fall of 799 A.S.
A year later he bore witness to the atrocities and war crimes perpetrated by the Wilde led Military during the Nomad War. He abandoned his post in New Berlin during the darkest hour of the war, just before the attack on Honshu, and fled to the Omega-11 system before disappearing from Military scanners shortly after. He was declared missing in action by Rheinland Military High Command in late 800 A.S.
Involvement in the Red Hessians
Hoerst is assumed to have joined the Red Hessians from his own accord during the Nomad War, having been disillusioned with both his homeland's government and military falling to what he considered foolish decisions. A few months after the war, when the Nomad infested Rheinland fleet tried to make their escape through the Omega systems, Hoerst learned the truth about his commanding officers and their puppet masters. By that time however he believed in the Hessian cause enough to remain with them, and considered them as "the true defenders of Rheinland". Those events sparked his interest in the extraordinary, and would lay foundation for his later endeavours.
Red Hessian Army
He continued to carry out small raids as wing commander against both Rheinland and Corsair target (a promotion he quickly earned owing to his military training) until 815 A.S. when he was hand picked by Kaspar Meisnerr, the newly appointed leader of the RHA, for his new team of high officers. His experience and tactical prowess on the field quickly earned him Meisnerr's trust and respect, and Hoerst eventually became nothing less but the right hand of the Red Hessian Army.
In late 816 A.S. he continued intensifying raids against the Corsairs, eventually becoming a unofficial liaison for joint Coalition - RHA operations against Cadiz in Omega-5 as his own forces continued frequently encountering SCRA fighters during his raids. Hoerst was instrumental to the signing of the Coalition - RRA cooperation treaty in 817 A.S. and continued serving as one of several official liaisons during the break off of the Reapers of Sirius and their subsequent attack on Red Hessian facilities in the Omega systems.
Current affairs
Hoerst is currently serving as executive officer of the Red Hessian Army, as well as the director of the Army's Spezialoperationabteilung. He continues to lead most large scale Hessian raids within the Omega systems and Rheinland itself, and is currently wanted on several acts of terrorism by the Rheinland authorities, giving him a place on the Rheinland government's most wanted list.
