Oberstleutnant Rein van Dirkeson

Oberstleutnant Rein van Dirkeson was a citizen of Eisenland.

The Lieutenant Colonel of 2nd Brigade of the 1st "Kaiser's Own" Raketenmarines (Rocket Marines). After the dissolution of the front after the fall of Niemelshagen and the subsequent executions of the remaining government and much of the remaining general staff who had help up there after the total destruction of the old Capital. The last orders to be sent out were "niemals aufgeben" (never surrender) and Rein van Dirkeson took those orders to heart and took the battered remains of the brigade he found himself in charge of after the previous commander declared the war lost and was shot for "defeatism". Rein took the remainders of his soldiers and linked up with a few other battered units including 3 of the few remaining "Siegeskrieg" class areal Warships and retreated to a remote science/military outpost on the outskirts of the Territory. After arriving there they discovered that the scientists had found an anomalous wormhole which had opened up on a remote area of the world. Time was of the essence as it was clear that the enemy was coming, so the remaining soldiers and scientists that could fit were placed on the airships and taken towards the Wormhole. While there was no guarantee the Wormhole would not just kill them, but the wormhole was the only hope and they went through. The portal took them to a place that the scientists determined to be 600 years in the past, but not only 600 years in the past but in a new dimension.
