History

Born to a comfortable upper-class New Berliner family, Erich lived a life of luxury and excess. With his father as a wealthy upper-echelon manager of Oder Shipyard and a mother as a receptionist for other areas along The Ring, he received excellent education at some of Planet New Berlin's finest institutes, including the illustrious Cologne University where he was well on the way to completing a Degree in Rheinlandic History. With his father "pulling strings" in whatever way he could, there was a strong possibility that Erich may have been a candidate for the Bundestag itself almost immediately after his MBA degree.

Fate held that his Graduate Thesis would be a diatribe (in true Rheinlandic fashion) condemning the multiple unlawful movements of Rheinland. To everyone's surprise, this Thesis was the opposite; it exposed and laid out in embarassing, painstaking detail a vast number of what could only be considered "Crimes against Humanity" perpetuated by the Federal Republic. His Thesis was quickly destroyed (no known copies exist) and shortly afterwards both he and his parents were arrested on unknown charges, and quickly sentenced to Life in Vierlande.

The panicked, dumbfounded look he shared with his parents as they were separated to various sections of the massive complex would be the last they would ever share; he never saw them again and as of 820 A.S. still has not learned of their fate.


Erich more than many of his fellow inmates did not react well to the abrupt transition of lifestyle; going quite literally from riches to rags put him in the Suicide Watch section, where he was isolated and kept under constant armed guard. Guards reported hearing him mutter and talk incessantly to himself whilst locked away on his own.

Four months into his life sentence, Erich's mental state was deemed to be a liability, and he was loaded upon a transport. He did not receive an explanation or a proposed destination, but did receive a rifle-ended incentive to go aboard. This transport was in turn pirated and disabled by a band of Hessians in the Stuttgart system, along the backwater lane leading to Omega-11.

Erich alongside many of his fellow inmates remained in Hessian custody for at least several months more before most were turned over to Kaiserslautern Depot,
