History
In order to weaken and divide up the other four Wars World nations, Sturm creates a clone of Orange Star's Andy to carry out attacks on Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth. However, his deceit is discovered by Yellow Comet's Sonja and the four nations team up to stop Sturm and the Black Hole. Though his armies are defeated, Sturm survives and escapes.

Sturm returns in Black Hole Rising, now with four new COs under his command. He tasks each of his four COs with conquering a different country, Flak attacks Orange Star, Adder attacks Blue Moon, Lash attacks Yellow Comet and Hawke attacks Green Earth. After the four COs are defeated and pushed back, Sturm engages in a final battle with the combined forces of the four allied nations at the Black Hole headquarters. Though his forces are defeated, Sturm prepares to detonate a bomb to take out both him and the other forces' COs. However, this causes Hawke to turn against him and kill him, bringing an end to Sturm's rein of terror.
