Biography
"I’m an old D-per, alet. When they made me, the creation of one of us was arduous enough that when we were “born” we had substantial indenture contracts to work off. When my coders finished making me, I was put to work in Fleet—most of us worked in Fleet initially, since they had money to finance our creation—and I spent thirty years serving in various capacities, mostly on starbases or supply depots. I was manumitted twenty years ago, and have been spending most of my time suspended, until I heard your Queen’s request.” [3]
She spent a decade in stasis/hibernation while her employment advertisement for "a military contractor seeking a position with a private company" was read 52 times. She woke for the single inquiry, from Liolesa. [4]
Hired by Liolesa to help with the rejuvenation of the Eldritch people prior to the Chatcaavan war; at this time, Liolesa did the paperwork necessary to have Maia declared a dual citizen of both the Alliance and the Eldritch Empire (because being an Eldritch citizen grants her rights that being an Alliance citizen doesn't, like the right to operate a ship alone). Maia didn't realize she held this citizenship until after the Chatcaavan war, when she "left" Escutcheon to pick up Uuvek and purchase another personal vessel for Liolesa. [5]

Quotes
- "I only look like a Seersa. What I actually am is a terrifying number of lines of code spread all over a galactic network. Don't forget that."[2]
- "Spying on you with drones? What do you think I am, an expert system in someone’s bread toaster? No one’s getting a drone into a ten mile radius around you. And before you ask, not around Liolesa either. She’s the one who hired me, remember? The Swords might manage her physical security, but I manage her electronic." [6]
- "You don’t need a body to get nervous. Ask me how I know." [7]
- "The fidelity of data is important to me, Sediryl. Without it, people like me can't exist. I feel really strongly about people using their networks to share the truth, not distortions." [8]
