Nestor Strom

Captain of the Reticulum High Guard ship "Ambassadoria". While en route to New Freedom's Port, scanning some debris it came across an ancient alien ship that resembled nothing that can be found in the Spotter's Guide. The first Phyxx spacecraft detected by humanity

A boarding party found 8 Phyxx. On request from the medical officer the party took a dead Phyxx Soldier for examination.

However the Phyxx after removed from its coffin showed signs of life and killed many of the crew and tore its way through the walls of the ship, knocking most of the prime systems. A distress signal was sent. Then it was decided to take to the lifeboat and destroy the ship but it was sabotaged. Strom noted that every last member of the crew behaved heroically in the face of this danger and conducted themselves befitting the highest commendations of the Reticulum.

Strom jettisoned the Black Box and activated the self-destruct mechanism, destroying both ships. He was mutilated in attack from a reanimated Phyxx soldier.

He was taken by the Mondites and underwent AFA cybernetics, Stages One and Two by Dr. Amet Mastaba. He noted that he demonstrated an extreme lack of gratitude.

His psychological reaction to the procedure was so extreme that it was determined that destroying him was the best available option.
