Captain Stellingetti was the commanding officer of the battlecruiser PNS Kerebin when the ship was deployed to the Silesian Confederacy as part of Admiral Javier Giscard's Task Force 29. While "laying doggo" in the Selker Rift, Kerebin detected a four-ship Manticoran convoy and proceeded to engage it. After dealing with the Manticoran destroyer HMS Hawkwing, Captain Stellingetti ordered Kerebin to intercept a target which turned out to be the Manticoran passenger liner RMMS Artemis; as Artemis could carry up to five thousand civilian passengers, Stellingetti showed reluctance to attack the Manticoran liner.
