Lt JG Marguerite Phillano is very young-appearing, looking to be in her early 30s, when in truth, she’s near forty. Serving as a steward aboard the Interstellar Queen, she did not display any special skills. When the ship was captured, she went through interrogations with everyone else, where (then “Marshal”) Senior Tech Ralston Allen spotted her, immediately asking her to join him aboard his shuttle as an LC. Her former crew was surprised (and a little betrayed) when she did. She quickly gained the title of “Kindred”, and was widely known as Marshal Allen’s companion and shuttle pilot. All of her former crew avoided her and stopped speaking and associating with her, except her former roommate, Senior Tech Glenda Wright.

Marguerite’s appearance is deceptive, and she makes full use of it. In reality, she was an MIIO deep-cover operative, assigned to identify the source of the recent attacks and piracy that had arisen in the Federated Suns Outback regions near the Reaver’s Rift. Following a lead, she took working passage aboard the Interstellar Queen, hoping to get into the region and find access to a black market hub, eventually getting access to a pirate ship as crew or someone’s companion. No one expected her ship to fall prey to the Star Talons, nor that they would be this close to the apparent source of this problem. “Luck” and destiny had combined.

In the years following, she had gathered a working knowledge of their tactics, the size of their resources, and she had even learned of the existence of “Pirate’s Haven”, or “Death’s Head” as some have called it. Her strong-willed nature is well known among the her fellows, and her skill in the use of the knife is attributed to her recent skills, not the fact she’s a trained expert with it from her MIIO training. Everyone claims she was Marshal Allen’s consort, but in truth, she was more like an adopted daughter, keeping their quarters clean, assisting him when he did maintenance cycles, and listening to his stories (many of which have garnered her the intelligence she has) late into the night. Few know she had quietly supplied medical supplies and vitamin supplements to the LCs on both the Content Not Found: starlight-seduction and the “Star Talon”, through her friend Tech Wright.

She was aware of Captain Jonas’ impending implosion, and proved the most capable of bringing him and his shadowy cabal of supporters down. For years, she served in * “The Dingoes’ Fangs” as a general support trooper, specializing in knife and martial arts work. It had been suggested she take on a more active role in training the unit’s recruits, but preferred her low-key position out of the limelight. She was quite willing to continue to prove herself to the unit and work hard to maintain her skills.

She worked hard to prove her loyalty to the unit, remaining with the mercenaries despite many months in Davion space, and several years under their command. She is known to openly report to a contact who appears sometimes at “The Factory”, but has always reported her encounters to the unit’s Intel officers, and claims they just want whatever information she can find regarding Starlords – “The Brethren of the Void”, which was really quite little.

In April 3025, she was awarded a promotion to Junior Lieutenant in the Iron Dingoes, and transferred to the Field Operations branch of * “The Dingoes’ Fangs”, and given a new assignment. Presently, she serves as the unit’s attache to The Warlord, representing the unit’s interests on System – Aurore and its affiliated systems. She views this as a means to gain a close working knowledge of the elusive society, and prove her loyalty to her adopted family once and for all.
