Prior to 1908 PD, Randy Steilman had been a member of the RMN for at least fifteen Manticoran years, but never rose higher than the rating of Power Tech Second Class, due to a well-earned reputation as a troublemaker on every ship he served. He served once with Sally MacBride, and was promptly beaten by her during an incident. Steilman and his accomplices were still under arrest when the ship was attacked by Havenite warships during the Battle of the Selker Rift, and they all perished when a beam struck the section of the ship where the brig was located.
