Distinguishing Features

Background

Shintoko Akahoshi (Kaika Arahoi'i) was born in YC 79 in Akahoshi asteroid, Luminaire. Like all inhabitants of that colony, she is a tube child and was raised in a creche along with four other children of the same age. Pre-screening suggested she would be a candidate for pod pilot training, and she left the colony to study at the Center for Advanced Studies in Cistuvaert on a colony scholarship. She graduated from the center in YC 105 and received her pilot's license in YC 106. Records indicate she was a competent but uninspired student.

In YC 107, she engaged in non-CONCORD-sanction warfare against a minor Caldari corporation, destroying several ships and killing one pilot. She then joined the Jericho Fraction as a combat pilot, participating in several major wars. Records from this period are unclear, largely due to her absence from CONCORD regulated space. Main points of data from this period include a notice of revocation of citizenship in the Gallente Federation, as well as regular transfers of money to her home colony.

At some point during this time, she became active as an operative of the Caldari corporation Omerta Syndicate. Public records of this period are contradictory and unclear, though they suggest her participation in Omerta Syndicate bioengineering programs. During this time, her home colony was financed to the degree allowing them to establish a second colony in the Tierijev pocket.

After the collapse of Omerta Syndicate, she retired as a pilot to live at the Tierijev colony. She left the colony in late YC 112, operating in a minor capacity first in Caldari and later in Minmatar space.

A Note on Language

The Akahoshi colony uses a spoken and written dialect of Tuapa'ani, a minor language spoken in the Tierijev pocket. The sole high quality translation software for this language translates into Achura. Incompatibilities between the Achura and Tuap'ani result in the software Achurizing proper names, resulting in early Gallentean records of the colony using these Achurized names. Inhabitants of the colony frequently make use of Achurized names.
