Nell Dorian

Ellery "Nell" Dorian is a shared NPC and PC character with a current arc. In the Prime Universe, she was once the captain of the ERS Gryphon and an accomplished police ship captain, and was tapped by the larger admiralty to captain a Star Destroyer. Now the captain of the ERS Fenris, she has been ordered to travel into Skelow Space in order to assist the ERS Odyssey against the Pyramid Menace. She served as Commodore of the Titan Fleet during the successful assault on Black Star to end the Liberator war.

Nell Dorian is a non-nonsense Captain with almost 40 years of Star Navy experience. She started out at age 18 as a grunt on a security team and worked her way up through the ranks. She's still a marine at heart in many ways. She dislikes diplomacy and politics, so she'll never be an admiral; instead, the Admiralty turns to Nell when they need someone who can make the hard decisions necessary to get the mission done.

Nell is mostly estranged from her family, and considers her colleagues in the Star Navy to be her true family. She has made many close friends over the years, but she is closest to Hamill Barca, who was her mentor during her first assignment, and his husband Alexander. She has always been close to their two children, twins Cassidy and Hayden, and is Cassidy's godmother. Nell is somewhat conflicted about having Hayden as her XO on Fenris; while she trusts him implicitly she feels a great deal of pressure to keep him safe.
