Dusty first met Yang Wen-Li at the military academy in 785UC, and they have been friends ever since. First Lieutenant Dusty Attenborough began a distinguished military career during the 5th Iserlohn Assault in 792UC. Later, after being promoted to Commander, he returned to Iserlohn for the 6th Assault as Captain of the Free Planets Destroyer "Elm 3" in 794UC. In 795UC he was assigned to the 2nd Fleet Flagship Patoroklos as gunnery officer. Dusty has learned quite a bit from his friend and has proven himself to be an able commander. Also appears briefly in the OAV "Golden Wings".

Dusty Attenborough and Olivier Poplan coin the phrase "foppery and whim" to describe the Yang Fleet's motivations in the face of incredible odds stacked against them.
