Set progress to unlock

Captain of the warship Natural Selection, born and raised in space, taller than her Earth-born officers and quick to read people.

Dongfang Yanxu wears four glittering stars on her shoulder. She is slender and fair-skinned, and when she floats, her loose hair drifts behind her and ripples around her neck as she moves with an easy, musical grace. Her eyes are full of light and life, with a note of playful challenge in them.

She runs her ship's systems through a data glove, calling up holographic star charts in midair, and any spot aboard, even the passageways, can summon a full command console.
