As Security Commander of the AssaultCruiser "Admiral Terrenn", it's only appropriate that Laviri Mitraq knows every one of the seventy-three nicknames which her shipmates have for her. "The Harpy" is the nicest of them. She certainly stands out against the other 19,999 women on the 'ship. The one thing that the others like about her is her very retro uniform, but she would much prefer to be in a comfortable, high-tech skinsuit, like everyone else. She would still stand out for being the only crew-member who is always armed. Plus there is her luxurious hair. With no need to squeeze her head into a tight combat-helmet at regular intervals, she can grow her hair as long as she likes. Not for her the severe bob of the average StarGirl. StarGirls say their discipline is faultless, so they don't need The Harpy. She ripostes that it is the Fleet's Harpies that make discipline so good in the first place...
