Richter was a minor character in ArmA 3's First Contact campaign.
Background[]
Richter was a senior commander of the U.S. Army contingent operating in Livonia as part of NATO's Exercise Electron-39.
For the duration of the exercises, Richter was stationed at Camp Konrad, a forward outpost located in Livonia's semi-abandoned Nadbór region. He worked closely with his subordinate, Major Don Homewood, to coordinate the exercises.[1]
First Contact (2039)[]
On June 19th, a friendly fire incident at the SIŁA Factory involving a U.S. drone[2] resulted in the deaths of seven Livonian soldiers.[3]
In the wake of the incident, Richter was left responsible with coordinating the withdrawal of all U.S. forces out of the country when Electron-39 was cancelled at the behest of the Livonian government.[3] The hectic schedule resulted in Richter not sleeping for several days, and even experiencing a heart attack on at least one occasion.[4]
Death[]
Two weeks later on July 3rd, Richter boarded a truck and headed off to complete a last-minute errand when an unknown flying object suddenly began hovering over the skies of Nadbór.[5] Before anyone could respond, the seemingly alien craft discharged a high-power microwave (HPM) shockwave pulse that fried all electronic equipment in the region; Richter's pacemaker included.[6]
Instantly going into cardiac arrest, Richter's truck crashed just off the road leading to Point Hopi from Camp Kresnik.[7] By the time friendly troops dispatched by MAJ Homewood were able reach the site, he was discovered slumped over the wheel of his truck and was pronounced dead at the scene.[8]
Trivia[]
- Richter's sole "appearance" in First Contact is his corpse inside a body bag, near the site where his HEMTT crashed.[9]
