Ronald Stroheim was a citizen of the Limbo System, a client state of the Solarian League's Office of Frontier Security. In the early 20th Century PD, he held the title of "President for Life". As a loyal OFS henchman, he got to keep somewhere about three percent of the total revenues from trade through the local terminus of the Roulette-Limbo Hyper Bridge. Due to this arrangement, he was especially furious about the Royal Manticoran Navy seizing control of the terminus in mid-1922 PD. (HH13)
