- "'That's the beautiful thing. We were all created for a role we'd already failed at before we were even born. We can only go up from there."
- ―Nat
Nat NAT-19 - BATCH 01, MODEL 06, also known as Nat, is a female Trandoshan / Barabel hybrid. The creation of a project by the Collective to form a caste of artificially birthed technologically adept slaves. The project was cancelled and rejected shortly prior to the birth of even the first batch. Pressed instead into working as salvage operators in high risk operations, their task was to fuel the Collective war machine by raiding lost battlefields. While utilising the armed freighter Scorpio, the group encountered Nikora Rhan and the Free Droid Enclave and were able to defect to Clan Odan-Urr.
Character History
Physical Description
A stocky and rotund individual, Nat's mixed Barabel and Trandoshan heritage has resulted in an odd blend of reptilian qualities. With a broad frame and power thickset limbs reflecting an easy familiarity with manual labour, her legs ending in the three-toed talons typical of Trandoshans and both arms in four fingered claws. A muscular tail extends out behind her, usually moving to assist with her balance.
Nat's pale grey skin is bereft of scales due to a quirk of her creation. Several points across her body are dotted with the hardened metal of nanomachine injection ports, and cybernetics to help stabilize her body's genetics. A number of medical scars further highlight locations where obedience devices and machinery were removed. The words NAT-19 - BATCH 01, MODEL 06 are tattooed across Nat's right arm, marking her original designation. Both eyes are of a pale blue complexion and, combined with Nat's broader snout and far less pronounced fangs, serves to give her features an oddly mammalian quality.
Personality

Powers and Abilities
Leader
By far the skill in which she has the most pride, Nat's abilities as a leader were something she was never intended to possess. Although both a highly proficient pilot and engineer, Nat was originally intended to be subservient with little more freedom or capacity for initiative than a droid. Being pressed into leading the Dead Ends forced her to rapidly evolve and take charge, learning to both mediate situations and when to put her foot down. Much of this was formed and built upon her natural knowledge of logistics, and used to both help keep the group alive and the Scorpio operational far beyond the Collective's ability to support them. While middling as a tactician and relying more upon force of personality to help get her way, Nat does possess a detailed understanding of naval tactics along with a wide array of trade and diplomatic methods. This grants her abilities beyond the average person on the street or untrained individual, but against others it's usually an uphill battle.
Pilot
Nat's talents as a pilot are half formed from birth and half by experience. Programmed with a near instinctive database in her mind of flight stratagems, astronavigation charts, and systems operations knowledge, her role was intended to help ensure the successful retrieval of any profitable salvage. To this end, her skills focused primarily upon establishing clear escape vectors, being able to avoid incoming threats, and withdraw with minimal damage. Although clearly meant to avoid conflict and any risk, Nat was able to steadily adapt these skills in a far more offensive manner. Thanks in part to the Scorpio's ability to be helmed by a single pilot, utilised the corvette as effectively a gunship in multiple battles, performing strafing attacks on targets or hit and run engagements. Favouring performing an attack and then escaping at high speed over high intensity turn fighting, she was able to steadily adapt her in-built knowledge to a far more offensive means. This relies upon either speed or surprise to keep the enemy on edge and avoid incoming fire, but it has proven highly effective. With a deep respect for any ship she is given, Nat has an exceptional ability when it comes to making the most out of any ship and playing fully to its strengths while behind their controls.
Engineer
Although secondary to her other abilities, Nat's broad knowledge of engineering talents and technical skills were a core part of her past life. While the crux of this stems from a broad database of technical skills and an inherent understanding of machinery programmed into her mind, a significant portion of this has evolved thanks to past experiences. Having to all too often jury-rig quick repairs and make do with sub-standard supplies, she has learned to adapt to flawed circumstances and simply work with whatever is on hand. Although certainly skilled with almost any technology, Nat has an especially noteworthy aptitude for working with ships, usually working faster and far more effectively with such vessels over other mechanical constructions. Naturally, such knowledge is just as easily applied to taking apart machines and repurposing other technologies, as was her intended role.
