Helena Ripleigh

Lt Helena Ripleigh is the resident Xenobiologist on board and also the Chief Science Officer, a specialist for finding life when the sensors say there is none. When in the unknown, Ripleigh is the one you want in the lab.

Helena Ripleigh is a pragmatic, rule-abiding, disciplined and deeply logical crewmember. She can some across as being very strict when it comes to protocol but has been known to be a little more ‘resourceful’ with the rules when she needs to be.

She maintains a strictly professional demeanor and anchors her actions within professional protocol. This can create friction with other crewmembers as her rule orientated nature can be seen as quite frustrating to her peers. Though, she sees this as a way to protect her ship and crewmates.

She has an acute awareness of environmental hazards and operational anomalies. During high stress situations she relies heavily on her analytical reasoning as opposed to resorting to panic. She possesses a rare capacity to supress fear responses in favour of tactical solutions.

Hobbies and Interests

Helena’s interests reflect her organised and analytical nature. She enjoys studying the sciences and historical mission reports. She had a fascination of understanding how complex situations succeed for fail. Away from duty, Helena prefers structured and purposeful activities. She enjoys logic puzzle, strategy games and endurance based fitness routines that reward discipline and careful planning. For Helena, relaxations doesn’t come from excitement or spontaneity but from the reassurance that everything is organised and under control.
