Capatain Taneel . In 2386 she assumed command of the massive imperial battle cruiser Sevillano. She first encounters Nosh at the Science Academy during the announcement of McBride's Wormhole in 2399. In the ensuing explosion, they save each other's lives. After the usurpation of Emperor Mauel José Cruz in 2401, she was stripped of her command. To save Nosh, she and her crew stole the tiny scout ship Machito. Ever since Emperor Cruz learned about Skitter and his abilities, her hand was forced to conduct secret imperial business to find the elusive Pilot Species.
Her many years in service of the Imperial Navy hardened her and made her cynical towards the Empire. She seems to enjoy coffee.
