Description
Aurora, a dreselandesa of the SoA-144 Pilot class, it's the navigator of the Dreadnought ASC Aurora, of the fleet of the Sultan of Awess, a small independent state in the outer colonies in the Nebulosa of Ots.
A Navigator, a special type of Dreselandes Artificial Human produced by GENTEK.
Space travel always was difficult and dangerous: but to navigate: but the quantic jumps, hyperspace, worm gates and other developments, which made easier -and much quickier- to travel in Space. However, it was done much more complex, difficult and dangerous.
Super computers was the first option, to do the complex calculations: However the problem was, that progressively, these computers become more and more complex.
And so, where designed a special type of Dreselandes artificial humans -clones- to operate these: the Navigators (or Avatars.
These clones where specially designed for each different Space ship, to interact on a direct level to the supercomputers and operate them, to quickly make the calculations for navigation, and as well, do security checks of the computer (and ship) systems, greatly decresing the time (and crew) needed to operate spaceships.
Because of this link to the ship, and being custom done to each one, the Navigators where often called as well Avatars, as they where seen as personifications of the ships.
Only the main Vessels had navigators -Dreadnoughts, Battleships, heavy cruisers, cruisers and fighters/mech carriers-, normally with only one issued -to avoid conflicts between navigators-, and because of that, normally the navigators dreselandeses where named after their ships.
As result of the rebelion of the clones -and the lack of thrust to other Artifical Inteligences, such as androids, robots and computers- these ships allways keep manual controls, independent from the control of the Navigator, in case the Captain of the ship need to take control of the ship.
The loss -due different causes- of a Navigator wasn't then crippling to a ship, but during a battle, could be significative: So while the avatars weren't the most combat-oriented or high ranking dreselandeses artificial humans, they where often some of the better protected, due their elevated costs. -and aside of being the better protected, they where some of the prioritary targets to enemies.-
Not every nation, megacorporation, mercenary company or group used Navigators, due the costs -and monopoly GENTEK have of them-, so normally they could be found only among STORNKOLD, their client and allied states, aside of subsidiary companies of GENTEK.
Happy (delayed) Birthday SultanOfAwesomeness !!!!
Aurora is his character. Quite badly done I'm afraid , so tried to disguise the problems with shadows and so on. XD

Just hunting through your gallery, don't mind me.
Nice work with this shik's expression. So aloof and haughty looking, love it. The uniform design is really nice, for how simple it is. It's the cleanness of the design that I think helps it, lets you focus on Aurora's head.

Such a sexy space girl clone!
I'm surprised that they'd only use one though? Being on duty for long or the risks of the unforeseen would make me think that there would be a group? Three of them working in shifts, programmed to act and think much the same? They are clones after all?

In larger ships is possible to do -and necessary-, but even with them being clones and programed to think and act the same, the longer each clone have their own, personal experiences, they began to differ, and this mean an important loss of synchronization:
it's the main reason why, while with very clear disventages, is better to have only one navigator rather than several.

Thanks, Shabazik
Once again, you've managed to take my crappy work and turn it into something professional looking.
Jeez, I need to start using a tablet or something.

Eh: I don't use tablet: but traditional media, I scan it, clean the lines in photoshop, and then I use a mouse and the same program for colouring!

Huh. I need to try something like that. I'm really tired of having little shadows and stuff over the picture...kind of annoying.
