Hauser von Steiermark (Japanese: ハウザー・フォン・シュタイエルマルク) was an Imperial Rear Admiral that participated in the Second Battle of Tiamat.
History
Vice Admiral Hauser von Steiermark participated in the Second Battle of Tiamat, under the command of Fleet Admiral Zieten. Hauser was very critical of Zieten's decision to allow Vice Admiral Wilhelm von Mückenberger to participate in the battle, because Hauser did not think the battle should be fought to avenge the recent death of Mückenberger's uncle, Fleet Admiral Keltring. Personal sentiments such as that, Hasuer felt, interfered with and clouded the true purpose of the battle: the defeat and subjugation of the Free Planets Alliance.
Steiermark was arguably the most competent and certainly the most successful admiral on the Imperial side during the Second Battle of Tiamat but was unable to prevent the battle from turning into a major Imperial defeat. As the Alliance's forces finally shattered and routed the Imperial forces, Steiermark's fleet remained and served as a solid rear guard, covering the retreat of the remaining Imperial forces. (SL: 'The Man Loved by the Goddess of Time: Chronicle of the Second Battle of Tiamat, Part I', 'The Death of a Hero: Chronicle of the Second Battle of Tiamat, Part II')
He then sent a message of condolence to the Alliance regarding Bruce Ashbey's death, an act which was condemned by the admiralty but it did not slow his advancement beacuse of his obvious competence. (TBT: 'Part Two')
