Name: Weiss
Species: Human
Weiss is a Cybercommand operative specializing in black operations, often deployed for covert investigations and sensitive missions across the Compact. She wears the standard blank black uniform of Cybercommand, which lacks insignia or rank to enhance intimidation and anonymity. Based out of the Bunker in Tian’s Mongolia Mountains, she balances her intelligence career with family life, living with her Navy husband and children in a suburb near Tian Regional Command.
In “Sphinx Rising,” Weiss is dispatched to Aphrodite to investigate rumors of a “giant robot” discovered by Penqu separatists in violation of a local cease-fire. She uncovers a ten-meter bronze automaton of unknown origin, later confirmed to be approximately a billion years old. Its brief activation causes severe injury to her guide Cenek and raises speculation about alien terraforming in the Helios System. Weiss recommends leaving the artifact in place to serve as a symbol of unity between the planet’s warring factions, the Penqu and Kolkats.
Shortly after, she is recalled by G-5 Zhong, head of Cybercommand, and reassigned to the warp drive initiative, tasked with escorting Captain Hideki Okada to the Challenger, the first warp-capable warship. Despite her frustration at being pulled from the Aphrodite operation, she complies, understanding the Compact may be on the brink of war following the mysterious losses of Farigha and Gilead.
Notable Traits:
- Skilled in multiple languages, including some Penqu and Kolkat dialects
- Jaded by political infighting, with a blunt, sarcastic demeanor
- Loyal to both mission and family, often forced to sacrifice one for the other
- Maintains high situational awareness and combat readiness, even in non-combat roles
