Private First Class L. Brouda was a Galactic Federation private on board the G.F.S. Tyr when it crash landed on Aether. He also helped set up a base of operations unknowingly next to a Splinter Hive. SPC D. Senge (engineer) told Brouda that they weren't going to make it off the planet. Brouda also lost a watch duty bet to PFC S. Milligan, and as a result Milligan was killed by Dark Splinters. PFC L. Brouda then had to guard the "hot zone" and also died when attacked by Dark Splinters by plenty of fatal wounds left by Splinter claws.
