The name Swiftfoot Starchaser can be traced back to June of 3005, when she turned up on Sol Station seeking employment. While there, Starchaser crossed paths with Mika Tachyon, and apparently ended up falling in with the Jackal's roguish crew. She accompanied them on a salvage mission near Nalhom, and apparently performed satisfactorily; shortly thereafter, the Demarian officially signed on with Blackjack Shipping & Salvage as navigator, occasional pilot, and gunner when needed. For a good while, she acted as both pilot and captain, as the Jackal two ranking officers were away from the ship for reasons unknown.
Prior to June 3005, the trail simply goes cold. No such Demarian seems to exist before that time.
The felinoid's association with the oft ill-reputed Jackal has given her a somewhat shady reputation, which was at first undeserved. It seems, however, that as time goes on, she lends herself more and more to such a lifestyle, both with her actions and her acquaintances. Despite this, she's known to be downright altruistic when the situation warrants it, whether it be true concern for a friend, or a shrewd guess that there's something to be gained. Though rumors abound as to her activities, there are no outstanding warrants for her arrest or bounties on her head at this time, though she is well-known to be unwelcome on New Luna. A select few with ties to the underworld would have heard rumors of a 75,000 credit prize that was available for a short time for the live capture of a Demarian closely matching Swiftfoot's description, to be collected upon delivery to U-999. This bounty has since been repealed.
Starchaser seems to be fairly itinerant, with no real home base, such as it is. She spends a good deal of time on Ungstir and Demaria, and has been known to visit Quaquan on occasion. Several times in the recent past, she's been sighted on New Luna, though not after an incident involving a highly-publicized search of the DMS Faux (Now the LDF Faux, with a brief stint as the DCV Faux in between). She was also known to be involved at one point with one Razorback Cliffwalker, who was on the Jackal's crew roster for several months. Recently, Razorback went missing, only to turn up dead while apparently out on one of his hunting trips into the Sand Mother. In the meantime, Swiftfoot had adopted a daughter, who was also on Blackjack's payroll before her untimely death - a young Timonae that at last count went by the name Solace Starchaser. As of late, Swiftfoot has not been residing on Blackjack's flagship - the Jackal - but has instead been living and working on board her sister ship, the DCV Faux. Rumor has it that there's some personal involvement between the pilot and recent Faux hire Stars, though to what degree, and whether or not this actually contributed to him hopping ships, are both very much up for debate.
