===== Mari Martinez =====

An intimidating presence at the conferences, dressed all in black and carrying a large pink sword, rarely seen far from her captain, Luxe Rosenberg, it would seem that Martinez had a more caring side, being known to be good friends with several other members of the fleet.

She is most deserving of being remembered for her noble self-sacrifice piloting //the Hussar// to its destruction to prevent the advancement of apparition ships.  Surprisingly, she survived the incident, though was changed by her experience.  Despite protestations from her captain, she proceeded to act in a reckless manner, resulting in the loss of life of a number of civilians.  She met her death during a mission to investigate the //Memorandum// as a result of an apparition attack.

"Getting a Martinez" later became part of the //Terra Libre// colony's slang to indicate owning a an item that was overkill for its purpose.
