Description
Ernest Mecklinger rose to high admiral in Reinhard von Lohengramm's Galactic Empire. His military career started as a commodore, serving as chief of staff for Admiral Reinhard von Musel during the Fourth Battle of Tiamat in 795 UC. Temporarily removed from the Müsel Fleet before the Battle of Astarte, he was stationed at Iserlohn Fortress, speculating on Reinhard's mission while playing piano.
Following Reinhard's promotion to fleet admiral, Mecklinger advanced within the Lohengramm admiralty. In 796 UC, he commanded fleets against the Free Planets Alliance's invasion, securing victory at the Battle of Wansteidt by crushing enemy forces and compelling their retreat. He played a key role in the defeat of Alliance forces at the Battle of Amritsar and fought against the Lippstadt League in the Imperial Civil War's final battle outside Geiersburg Fortress in 797 UC.
In 798 UC, Mecklinger attended strategic conferences after Kaiser Erwin Josef II's abduction. He was appointed rear forces commander for Operation Ragnarök, remaining on Odin during the Alliance invasion. During the 800 UC Iserlohn Republic conflict, he blockaded the Imperial end of the Iserlohn Corridor but was outmaneuvered by Yang Wen-li's feigned full assault, forcing his withdrawal. Later, in the Reuenthal Rebellion, he secured passage through the Corridor to suppress the revolt, opting to reopen investigations into the Uruvasi assassination attempt on Reinhard, uncovering Terraist involvement.
Mecklinger was present aboard the flagship *Brünhild* during the final battle against the Iserlohn Forces in 801 UC. On Reinhard's deathbed, the emperor recommended Mecklinger for promotion to fleet admiral.
Known as the "Artistic Admiral" for scholarly pursuits in arts and history, Mecklinger won Imperial Academy of Art prizes in prose poetry and watercolor. His piano performances were noted for their "perfect fusion of daring and delicacy." He authored analytical essays evaluating contemporary admirals, concluding Reinhard was superior while noting Yang Wen-li's strategic over tactical prowess, and criticizing Admiral Bittenfeld for prioritizing Reinhard's rescue over saving historically valuable art during a fire.
Originating from lower socioeconomic circumstances that precluded a formal art career, Mecklinger maintained loyalty to Reinhard, whom he regarded as "living art," and expressed greater enthusiasm than other admirals for Reinhard's engagements with performing arts.
