Before landfall, Talia studied mechanical systems at the Last Frontier University, graduating with a master’s degree in engineering. When the ship finally put down on VOI 700 D in late 2625, she signed on as a Free State Courier Rider within her first month planetside — mapping rough trails, hauling emergency kits, and proving she could outpace any rider. The others started calling her “Quickshot” because she always beat the clock (and everyone else) to a drop.
During a medicine run to Morningstar, she realized settlers needed access that never slept —sparking the idea for a 24/7 mechanical vending network. In January 2626, after one too many midnight supply runs, she sketched a lever‑driven, power‑free dispenser concept. By March the first mechanical Quickdraw stood on the New Kourou Food Market, and over the next three years she grew the network past fifty machines across the Free State of Settlers.
The 2631 Peace Treaty and birth of the Federal Confederation nationalized private distribution; her company was absorbed. Rather than quit the game, she joined the Federal Courier Service, still moving goods — just under Communardist rules.
Talia is a quest-giver, ally, or even a stubborn obstacle when PCs disrupt her carefully balanced routes:
