Samuel's son was serving as the captain of the Concordat [[DropShip]] [[Newgrange (Individual Union-class DropShip)|''Newgrange'']] at the time of his death, and the Restoration forces hired a small mercenary force to destroy or capture the ''Newgrange'' after receiving information that indicated that the Directorate was receiving weapons and armaments shipments from the Taurian Concordat, smuggled or transported aboard the ''Newgrange''. Despite calls from [[Kamea Arano]] to surrender, Samuel's son refused to hand over control of his DropShip, leading to his death when the Restoration mercenaries destroyed a refueling station next to the grounded ''Newgrange'', resulting in an explosion that engulfed and crippled or destroyed the ''Newgrange''.<ref name=BTVG />	+	Samuel Ostergaard's reason for fighting in the civil war was the death of [[Arms Dealer|son]].

In the resulting ambush Samuel's forces killed the majority of the Restoration personnel on Artru, and nearly managed to kill Lady Arano herself. The mercenaries retained by Lady Arano destroyed the Star League cache within Castle Nautilus with explosives as Lady Arano led a lance of recovered Star League Defense Force BattleMechs through the Taurian attack to the waiting ''[[Delfinas|ARS Delfinas]]'', a [[Leopard]]-Class [[DropShip]]; while Samuel was able to destroy the ''Delfinas'', she was able to remain free long enough for her supporting mercenary forces to evacuate her using their transport vessel. During the course of the battle Samuel confirmed that his son had been unable to surrender the ''Newgrange'' because he was acting under orders, presumably from the [[Taurian Defense Force]] or Taurian government.<ref name=BTVG /> ===Death=== On Coromodir, Ostergaard revealed that he is no longer with the Taurian Concordat Navy and his actions are his own. Grief-stricken, Samuel threatens the mercenaries that he is sending his dropship and remaining forces to destroy them. However, thanks to Farah sending the [[Locura]] virus to the ''Iberia'', his ship was stricken with a host of catastrophic malfunctions. This final act would cause the ''Iberia'' to crash on the surface killing him instantly, along with the Directorate and Restoration forces on planet. With Ostergaard's death and the peace made between them and the Taurian Concordat, the mercenaries and Lady Arano could now focus on liberating the Aurigan Coalition once more. ==Quotes== {{quote|''"Attention, forces of the [[Arano Restoration]]!
