SUMMARY
Flora is an ex-Gaian scientist born on Cambridge. Her education and scientific work are focused on biology and xenoarcheology. She prefers working in the field, making expeditions and gathering samples. Flora views the universe with a dose of religiosity, and can often be heard mentioning a "goddess", which she believes created and drives the universe humanity is part of.
She is generally neutral towards people she meets, although there are a few groups that earned her ire over the years. She treats their members with a bit of arrogant disdain, but nevertheless avoids initiating firefights.

SHIPS IN USE
The Falcon
Model: CTE-3000Gx "Falcon"
ID code: Flora
Origin: Planet Denver, Colorado
Date of production: 820 AS
Status: Active
An ordinary Falcon heavy fighter procured from an used ship dealer on New Tokyo. Shortly after being acquired, the ship had its stock CTE engines replaced with heavily modified PTE propulsion. In addition to this, the only modification made were minor cosmetic adjustments. The ship is currently utilised by Flora as her personal mean of transportation.
The Huntress
Model: "Anaconda" type A
ID code: N/A
Origin: Torshavn Spaceport, Cambridge
Date of production: 819 AS
Status: Crippled
The Huntress is one of the first Anacondas ever produced by the Gaians. Over the years, the ship went through a myriad of modifications and adjustments to keep it competitive. This, along with its owner's love to tampering with her ships, resulted in the birth of an unique model of the now well known and feared fighter.
The Huntress suffered crippling amount of damage in the middle of 822 AS that resulted in Flora's capture by Bretonian "authorities". Its wreckage drifted through the Coombe field in Omega 3 for almost a year before Flora found and slavaged it. She is now contracting a number of friendly parties to provide her with components to restore the ship.
The Emerald Dragon
Model: SHI 1800c "Raba"
ID code: Emerald.Dragon
Origin: Cape Soya Shipyard, Tottori
Date of production: 818 AS
Status: Active
And old transport ship, once used by the Hogosha for more or less legitimate cargo runs throughout Kusari. The ship was long scheduled for scuttling when the Association gave Flora a green light to acquire one of their venerable transports.
The ship, as any other vessel Flora got her hands on, was quickly modified and updated to suit its new owner's needs. Its old, Kusari-made engines were replaced with a set of CTE engines at first and a PTE set afterwards. Its hull was reinforced with military-grade armour and its generous weapon mounts were utilised to their full potential, the ship now featuring a full set of gunboat-grade turrets and a missile launcher.
Its interior was also heavily modified, with a portion of the ship's cargo bay being turned into a field lab. Although the equipment is nothing compared to specialised science ships, it suffices to satisfy Flora's hunger for on-the-spot analisys.
Thanks to a significant amount of automation, the ship can be operated by Flora alone. She isn't, however, able to service it alone, and as such is dependant on Tripoli and Yokohama shipyards for refits and modifications.
