A young Ignacious Fuseli joined the Commonwealth Armed Forces in 154 A.U. during the Fourth Principality War, and completed his officer training a month ahead of the rest of his class. He showed an excellent strategic mind, and after only half a year in the cockpit of a fighter he was promoted to Captain and given a command position aboard the C.A.S. Relentless, an air cruiser. He was commended for his actions during the defense of Midgard toward the end of the war, and gained the attention of Admiral Svendheim himself.
