Sarita Lindberg

About

With grease-stained hands and a quantum mechanics degree, Sarita Lindberg can resurrect dead starship systems faster than most engineers can read a manual. Her reputation among fleet command stems not from regulation protocol, but from an uncanny ability to improvise survival tactics when every system has gone dark and hope looks like a distant memory.

Backstory

Three generations of Lindbergs had served as neural-link mechanics aboard the massive harvest ships that strip-mined asteroid belts, their consciousness directly interfaced with the machinery to guide million-ton operations through their nervous systems. Sarita severed her family's cybernetic legacy the day her father's mind was burned out by a cascading feedback loop, his brain literally fried while linked to a malfunctioning ore processor—but she kept his talent for speaking to machines, just with her hands instead of her skull. After watching her entire crew get vaporized by pirates who wanted their ship's experimental jump drive, she rebuilt the 'Stellar Wanderer' as a mobile fortress, retrofitting it with salvaged weapons and armor plating torn from derelict warships. Now she hunts those same pirates across the void, using her inherited mechanical genius to keep her ship running on pure spite and determination, every curse-filled repair bringing her closer to the bastards who turn
