Auseri Sosten, Sosten ta Norya (16 April 1891 - 20 August 1968) was a Risevani commander, serving as a ship's captain during the Third Global War and an admiral during the Fourth Global War. He is most famous for his command of the Southern Joint Fleet in the southern Elaspegian Ocean between 1944 and 1946, during which he commanded his fleet in several great victories.

Youth and Early Career

The Third Global War

During the Third Global War Sosten was promoted to command a cruiser, the Santoye.

The Fourth Global War

Though the war had started in 1940, Sosten was only called up to serve by his superior and lifelong friend Artase Kirmude in 1942, owing to his well-known expertise in carrier warfare due to his work in the years between the war. He was placed in charge of a joint task force with the specific aim of neutralising the navy of Beotes, which was poised to join the war against the League and which possessed a potent force of 5 battleships and 3 carriers moored in the naval base of Asvro Island. Organising his force of 4 carriers and several submarines, he carried out the Asvro Raid which turned out to be a brilliant success.
