Character: Helmut Lennenkampf r531x

In December 792 UC, Lennenkampf was stationed at Reinhard von Lohengramm, who was a commander at the time, about a mission that involved capturing Count Herxheimer, an Imperial noble attempting to defect to the Alliance.

Lennenkampf, as an iral, in 798 UC, was present for the testing of the warp capability of Empire.

His fleet briefly took part in a skirmish with the Yang Fleet during the Battle of the Black Hole, in March 799 UC. Lennekampf's caution during the battle resulted in a successful attack by iral Yang's forces, buying it enough time to escape.

With the surrender of the Alliance to the Empire in the aftermath of Operation Ragnarok and the g of the Treaty of Ba'alat, Lennenkampf was assigned to be the Imperial Consul on Heinessen, the representative of Kaiser Reinhard. He had the retired Yang Wenli watched, suspecting him of wanting to rise up in revolt against the Empire. After the Alliance government attempted to execute Yang and his subordinates rescued him, they broke into the Consul's headquarters, a hotel, and took him prisoner. Yang and his ers intended to use him as a hostage to get themselves age off of Heinessen.

Lennekampf, ashamed for having been taken prisoner, committed suicide in his cell. Yang and his renegades claimed that he was still alive and took his body with them. They later returned it to the Empire by leaving it in a space capsule, along with a note explaining the circumstances of his death.
