Attenborough was a close friend of Yang, and was the youngest admiral in FPA history. ==History== ===Early Life=== When Dusty was a teenager, he wished to follow in his [[Mr Attenborough|father's]] footsteps and become a journalist. His father, however, demanded that his son join the military instead. Eventually, Mr. Attenborough told his son that, as a condition for allowing him marry Mrs Attenborough, his [[Grandpa Dusty|father-in-law]] forced him to promise that he would raise his son to be a soldier. All of Mr Attenborough's children, however, were girls, and his father-in-law died in battle against the [[Galactic Empire]] a few months before Dusty was born. Believing her newborn son to be the reincarnation of her father, [[Mrs Attenborough]] named her her son Dusty after her father. Dusty adamantly refused his father's request, only aquiescing when his father fell to his knees, crying. Compromising, they decided that Dusty would attend both the military academy and the [[FPA Officer Academy]]. Ultimately, Dusty was accepted into the military school, but was not accepted into university. Upon his son's entrance into the military academy on [[Heinessen]], Mr Attenborough gave him a "lucky charm" that his father-in-law had given him on his wedding day: a rusted key. He claimed that once, while in Dusty's grandfather's pocket, it had saved him from a bullet (despite the key itself having no marks to corroborate). ({{sl|13}}) ===Alliance military service=== A long-time friend of Yang Wenli, Dusty Attenborough first met Yang sometime before graduating from the [[Free Planets Alliance Officer Academy]], and served together with Yang during both the [[Battle of Legnica]] and the [[Fourth Battle of Tiamat]]. In December {{d|794|uc}} he commanded the destroyer ''Elf III'' during the [[Sixth Battle of Iserlohn]], the Alliance's military offensive against [[Iserlohn Fortress]]. During the Battle of Tiamat, Dusty was one of three other men who chose to accompany [[Yang Wen-li]] on a daring diversionary maneuver, one that ultimately led to the successful retreat of the Alliance navy from the [[Tiamat Starzone]]. After the [[Battle of Astarte]], Attenborough became a staff advisor under newly appointed admiral Yang Wenli and the [[13th Fleet]]. ({{onw}}, {{logh|03}}, {{mciss}}, {{hbshbl|10}}) Attenborough would continue to serve directly under Yang Wenli for most of the major battles of that era, including the [[Seventh Battle of Iserlohn]] that culminated in the bloodless capture of [[Iserlohn Fortress]].
