Known as: Mira

Species: Human

Gender: Female

Age: 29

Vocation: RX3248 security chief

History: Miranda was born on Wolf 1061c. Two years later, the Nomad struck. Miranda joined the military when she was nineteen. Although she was initially opposed to it, she eventually completed university and reached the rank of First Lieutenant in 2798.

In 2801, the Nomad threat loomed over a system she was stationed at. As the small civilian population was being evacuated, the Nomad struck, obliterating the command staff and half of the unit, causing local command to temporarily fall to Miranda. In spite of her orders to regroup with the remains of the battalion and aid in a desperate counterattack, she chose to divert the craft available to her and continue the evacuation. The Nomad emerged victorious and the remains of her battalion were among the few thousand survivors.

She was Court martialed for her actions, demoted to Chief Warrant Officer 2 and reassigned as a security chief to a colony in Adhara, a backwater system where it was deemed she couldn't do much harm. Although being stationed in the armpit of the universe for three years didn't help her combat skills, she gained experience in civilian and other administrative affairs. After the war, she was sent to RX3248 to act as a security chief there.

Full Description: standing at only 15 cm tall when fully grown this species manages to be sentient despite it’s diminutive brains size by featuring a complex information sharing network which allows the relaying information between individuals at astonishing speeds and data density for a biological system. This is done using rapid wing buzzing to produce high pitched signals that can be heard and rapidly comprehended by the surrounding individuals who could then relay it onward if necessary. This method allowed groups to rapidly share information, each individual holding a small amount of relatively specialised data which they could then relay to others if they require it. They are known for being able to transmit both knowledge of skills as well as sensory data to one another, a test subject being able to replicate an image seen by another perfectly or an entire group managing to perform a skill taught to only one individual.

As a result of this network method, they are effectively a hive mind, each individual is but a conduit for the group they are in. While they may show some individuality by visually noting what information they store, this fashion will generally be shared by a smaller sub group within the whole who are stores for different parts of the same expertise. As a result it is not possible to “know” individuals and so it is generally easier for most other sentients to see a tribe as an analog to a person, with each groups showing something acin to personality traits and localised memory or familiarity.

It is hypothesised that they are either a biological computer abandoned by some long gone creator or a deliberate self modification by their distant ancestors who then suffered a technological collapse.



History: A native species of one of the many worlds colonised by humanity they were originally written off as non-sentient, however after only 50 years of human habitation it was noticed that they had began to exhibit limited speech and the formation of what could only be described as cargo cults mimicking human behavior. Attempts made to study their intelligence and ability to learn in laboratories quickly leaked back into the wild and so in the space of just over a year the planet became the homeworld of a sapient species where one had not existed prior. After gaining citizenship and rights they underwent massive and rapid technological advancement viea the acquisition and then replication of human technologies. This include a particular interest in the realm of robotics which allowed them to compensate for their small frames. This is one of the few areas where they have created advancement over humanity, though most of these advancements found their way back into the human market not long after.

They are mainly located in the region of space around their homeworld where they have either migrated in small numbers to surrounding human planets as well as having formed a few colonies of their own. Further afield are traders and ship based colonies that became more common as the Nomad crisis developed, the small race making a conscious attempt to spread its population out to avoid extinction should a fleet arrived in their relatively small region unexpectedly.

Type of society: Hivemind

Technological advancement: Teir 2 - mostly human tech

Miscellaneous: They make no use of space suits, instead preferring remotely operated drones or crewed mechs for operation in hazardous environments.
