Cot of the MacDiarmid Clan on Maridoileag

Cot clan Macdarmid, Homeplanet Maridoileag


Profession: Peaceful Warrior


Cot was taller than most of her species, Mulands from the homeplanet Maridoileag, or Mari for short. Her Elfin face, too narrow for some, too full for others, was a pale blue showing she was past marriageable age from 10 to 18 years, but not old enough to make life decisions for others in a clan. Her curly white hair intentionally covered the tops of her ears, so their exact shape was hidden. Her eyes were chameleon-like, taking on the color of her environment, most notably her clothing, provided she was not emotional. If necessary, they could also be masked in slate gray. She had excelled beyond many people’s expectations that a child shepherd with no access to the world beyond her planet could be granted access to leave Mari for an education. She was mentored and moved from the diplomatic academy to the military space academy, where she graduated days before war was declared across space sectors. During the war she progressed from ensign, to first and second lieutenant and then captain, and after the war she transferred to special forces, and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, Squad Leader to 12 SID pilots. Mulands were found to be ideal pilots to fly sentient spaceships without a crew. They were given the chore of spreading out in various space sectors, mapping space and acquiring information for Star Force HQ before they reached their final destination, where they would reform at their new home port.


This story is about Cot’s adventures as she travels across the space sectors to her new home port, L’Gasta Outpost.
