({{hbshbl|02}}) Von der Decken joined the Rosen Ritter sometime before {{d|791|uc}} and within a few years became skilled enough to be well-regarded within the regiment. He was often together with [[Walter von Schönkopf]], [[Kasper Linz]] and [[Rainer Blumhardt]] and thus was dubbed as part of the Rosen Ritter's "Strongest Quartet". ({{hbshbl|02}}) In {{d|794|uc}}, von der Decken participated in the [[Battle of Van-Fleet]] as part of the ground forces defending an Alliance rear support base in [[Van-Fleet 4-2]]. During the battle, he demonstrated remarkable shooting skill with his rifle by severing the wire of an Imperial wire guided missile launched from an Imperial [[Panzer IV]]. Later, he encountered [[Hermann von Lüneburg]], a former Rosen Ritter regimental commander who had defected back to the [[Galactic Empire]]. He engaged Lüneburg in close quarters combat where he was eventually outclassed and killed by Lüneburg.
