Description:

Like most of her type, Xio looks human from a distance. Up close, anyone can see her cat-like green eyes. Aside from that, she doesn't really look as "catty" as most Leo's, as she usually wears a complete flight rig consisting of a pilot's uniform over a skin-tight body pressure vacuum suit. She keeps an augmented reality interface with her, but doesn't always use it, and wears a sidearm when permitted--usually a state-of-the-art rocket pistol.

Xio Faulker is a Leo alternate from the TIO colony at Groombridge 34. Thirty years ago, she made a name for herself in the TIO pilot corps. The Titans known as "the Ophiuchi Syndicate" denied all shipping through the 70 Ophiuchi system, and Xio's ship was the only one that survived the attack on the Titans' base--she shot down five of their combat drones (Titans don't crew their own combat vessels) in one day, becoming an "instant ace". Things went very badly after she and her crew entered the base itself, and to this day, Xio is terrified of meeting Titans in person. (She'll just stick to blowing up their combat drones, thanks very much!) In the end, they forced the Syndicate to allow TIO shipping to pass through the system unimpeded. However, she can't discuss any details about what she saw or heard inside the Titans' base, due to a hypnotic block TIO mentechs placed in her mind after the mission.

Xio is in her 50's now, and her days as a "top gun" are behind her. Nowadays, she's experienced enough and level-headed enough to concentrate on just doing her job and keeping her ship together. She's sick of being lauded as a "war hero" after all these years, especially because she still remembers every single thing that really happened on that mission, but can't tell anyone about it! (The popular version is completely wrong.) Every time she opens her mouth to talk about "Operation Xenon Pipeline", she gets a splitting headache, then passes out cold. So she's quite happy spending her final working years in obscurity, piloting a tramp freighter known as 'Balance Forward' out of Mandala Free Station, and otherwise hanging out at an off-the-grid bar known as The Blind Spot. TIO still keeps tabs on her (like she'd talk!) but nobody else can find her easily, and she likes it that way.

No, that's not what really happened. And no, I don't want to talk about it. No, really.

Unlike most Leo's, Xio never has trained in personal combat--she went into flight school as soon as she could qualify. (And, Leo's never fail to qualify for flight school.) And with her talents (hotshot pilot, combat ready, skill master) she's one of the best pilots to be found in Terran space. Xio can also operate most other ship systems, such as weapons, sensors and communications if necessary. And her knowledge of space combat tactics is extensive. Out of combat, she serves as an expert on aliens, having dealt with Titans in the war, and also with Fluorians while she lived at Groombridge 34.

Xio can tell the characters a lot about the Titans, as long as they don't ask about the mission she literally *can't* talk about. The fact that TIO put such a mental block in place should tell them several things though! And of course, if they need to hire a ship, she can introduce them to the captain of 'Balance Forward.'

Really clever characters (too clever for their own good) might actually try to find a way around Xio's mental block. This would raise several interesting questions. How much would this be worth to her? Who would she talk to? Or is the TIO right about some things being better off kept secret?
