Defence Force Career
He started in the Navy at the age of 17, He went to Keita Naval Academy in 2290, and came out of the Naval academy in 2293 as a Midshipman, came fifth in the Officer exams and earned himself his fisrt medal The Silver Sword after coming first in the Fitness and Sporting exams and for showing great effort whilst at the academy.

KNS Helerapon
His first assignment was aboard the KNS Helerapon. He served on Naval exercises outside of the Jildrath peninsula. This ship was just a small patrol boat, the Highest ranking officer on board was a Lieutenant so he became first mate or second in charge. After showing exemplery navigation skills he was recommended after a years service to become a bridge Officer on a slighter bigger ship.

KNS Ayrdon
Matthew served aboard this vessel on April 2294, 11 months after receiving first assignment. The KNS Ayrdon was already 12 years old, and looked abit rusty compared to it's fellow Frigate naval ships. The biggest Highlight that hapened to Matthew Fitzstewart was during the Great Axis War of 2295, When the Axis Nation of Mundi declared war on the Kundrati Union and it's neighbours. The Kundrati coasts were practically for the taking, as there was only one Battleship left behind in Kundrati waters.

On the 29 March 2295 0415 hours Whilst on a coastal Surveying mission, the Ayrdon then under the night command of MIDN Fitzstewart, Radar tracked an unidentified vessel off the Port Bow, When Fitzstewart looked through the binoculars he noticed that the ship arried the flag of the Axis, this ship was identified as a Battleship, straight away red alerts were toned and the Captain and the Commander were called to the bridge unfortunately, The unidentified battleship fired upon the Ayrdon and had hits it's telecommunications and radar tower, thus knocking it over the bridge squashing a sheer majority of the Bridge staff, which had 20 people, only 4 survived, MIDN Fitzstewart, 2 petty Officers and a Coaxswain. The Captain and Commander was Killed, thus leaving MIDN Fitzstewart in charge since the Lieutenant was on land (after breaking his Leg).

MIDN Fitzstewart now commanding officer of the KNS Ayrdon, had to manually control and get his fellow sailors to fire their weapons manually since the Bridge and it's systems were destroyed. after doing evasive maneuvores for 29 minutes the Ayrdon managed to drop a few mines in the water entailing the Mystery Battleship into it's trap, thus the Battleship destroyed, and the Ayrdon just limps away from htis disaster.

Business Career
Philip Strauss was former the Chairman and CEO of Hulstrian Shipping International, a company founded several generations ago by an ancestor of his Franz Strauss. He has been incharge of the company since his 20s, when his father Leopold entered into early retirement to pursue his dream of sailing around the world. HSI has seen a steadly growth under Philip and has had no major issues. The only exception to this of course was the Communist Ban on private industry. Political insiders gave Philip a heads up about the on coming ban and he was able to relocate the company, and her assets to Ostgrad, Mordusia. With the recent return to capitalism in Gishoto parts of the company have begun to return however the major of the company's assets remain in foreign accounts.

Political Career
Philip began his politically career shortly after it was announced that he was a possibly next inline for the Hulstrian Throne. He revived the dead Imperial Hulstrian Party, and through sheer support for the monarchy was able to gain the Comrade Premiership and just under 2/3 of the legislature for the IHP. However after several years of Royalist domination the Communists grew tired of the IHP's control of the legislature. They began inciting riots against royalists and the Lutheran Church, which led to the IHP caving in on itself. However Philip was not done, 24 years later, when all hope that the monarchy might be resotre had faded, the IHP rose from the ashes and rentered the political arena. Taking a majority of the legislature and the Comrade Premiership the Party had arrived and once again Philip was Comrade Premier. However he had grown tired in his old age, and at the end of his term as Comrade Premier he retired as head of the IHP and from politics in general leaving Konsort and Konrad to succeed him.
