Solin

Prefect Solin (b. AH 485) is a titan cosmonaut. She is famed throughout Veltheria as an explorer of far-flung reaches of the universe.

In AH 522, Solin was officially invited to take command of the voidship Legacy, and thus became the first new ultranaut to be appointed for fifty years.

History
Solin was born on Mars, in the colony of New Camelot, to parents Tepiltsin, an architect and Anci, then a centurion of the Void Legion, who now holds the rank of legate. Solin’s maternal grandmother, Ketsalli, was a senior engineer aboard the Discovery, the voidship which returned from Arcadia with the Keystone of Wyrd.

At the age of 18, Solin graduated from the Academy of Void Exploration’s cosmonaut training program, the second youngest graduate in the institution’s history. She was immediately posted to an observatory in orbit of Ishaxa Prime, in a junior role. Before long her wasted talents were recognised; she was given command of a small exploration vessel.

Her career has ensured fame throughout Veltheria, and she has charted more of the dark cosmos (the portion of reality beyond the observable universe) than any other explorer. Though there is nothing particularly special about this region of the universe, in the eyes of many it is a frontier of adventure and strange phenomena, and only a small number of exploration missions venture there.

She was given the title of prefect in AH 511, having only just turned 26. This gave her discretion to choose a vessel and crew, a watershed moment in the career of any cosmonaut. Not long after, she was considered for command of a jaunt into the Aether, but the mission was aborted.

In AH 522, AVE announced Solin’s appointment to command Legacy, and she immediately took an active interest in the recruitment process. It was Solin’s suggestion that the invitation to join the ship’s party of seekers be opened to the entire adult population of Veltheria, rather than qualified cosmonauts.
