'''Santi Frolander''' was the commanding officer of the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[12th Fleet (Star League)|Twelfth Fleet]] for six months in [[2775]].

==History==
During the SLDF's push deeper into the [[Terran Hegemony]] during [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]], the liberation of [[Dieron]] commenced on 27 May [[2775]]. In the battle, the Combat Information Center of the Twelfth Fleet's flagship [[SLS]] ''[[Terra Nova]]'' was destroyed by a [[Space Defense System]] drone [[WarShip]], killing the fleet's commander, [[Admiral]] [[Godman Lawrence]]. [[Vice Admiral]] Santi Frolander assumed command and led the SLDF naval forces to victory over Dieron, paving the way for the [[12th Army (Star League)|Twelfth Army]] to land on the planet.<ref name=H:LoT2p40>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 40: "Dieron"</ref>

The SLDF then targeted [[Tyrfing]] for liberation in December that same year. Now-Admiral Santi Frolander, still in command of the Twelfth Fleet, was tasked with neutralizing the tough SDS defenses so that the [[5th Army (Star League)|Fifth Army]] could make planetfall. The initial invasion in-system took out many SDS drone ships but at a heavy SLDF cost, and when the admiral wanted to press forward with support from the Fifth Army's escorts, the Fifth's CO [[General]] [[Kim Solheim]] refused and took the matter to [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], believing the SLDF would take excessive losses in the attack. Kerensky agreed and replaced Frolander with Vice Admiral [[Els Cainero]], a veteran of two previous SDS engagements. After transferring in with two [[squadron]]s of [[4th Fleet (Star League)|Fourth Fleet]] WarShips, Cainero shredded the SDS drone fleet, allowing the Fifth Army to land four days later.<ref name=H:LoT2p46>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 46: "Tyrfing"</ref>
