I know who this Lunar commander is, and why he's been forgotten. There's a character in my story on the Wiki - Danbal. He should have gone home with his regiment after the Batblat but didn't, he spends the rest of the siege acting as messenger, escort to new officers etc. Afterwards they're looking for someone to lumber with the job of taking charge of the garrison so he gets promoted. Trouble is he isn't really officer material and can't read or write so he needs a scribe to help him. That scribe is a rebel spy but few of the rebels know that - they just know the lunar garrison has been infiltrated so there's an unofficial arrangement whereby neither disturbs the other very much - until the PCs arrive.

If you're interested Jane, I can write Danbal up five-six years on in this position.
