SPOILER WARNING: Second Formic War plot details follow.
Gustaaf Rynsburger was an International Fleet Ensign on board the Bajovnik.[1] He was first introduced in The Swarm.
History[]
The Swarm[]
When the Bajovnik was raided by the pirates of the Shimbir, Gustaaf was the final member of the crew alive. Once Khalid stumbled upon the ansible, he questioned Gustaaf, who told Khalid everything about the ansible. The information included instantaneous communications and that the ansible could currently only communicate with ships within the same ansible network and CENTCOM.[1]
Khalid then instructed Gustaaf to install the ansible aboard the Shimbir, which Gusaaf agreed to do. However, Ibrahim was instructed to kill Gustaaf once the installation was completed.[1]
