Noora Shepard
Noora is the captain of the stealth ship, A.S. Vici. She's a decorated servicewoman who began her career as a pilot in the Unified Erathis Government military. Her skills in leadership and her battle instincts made her the only candidate considered to lead the current effort to find the Cartographers.

Biography
Noora was born in Balton, Labrador on the planet Erathis. She had a fairly normal childhood and grew up during one of the calmer parts of the war with the Norisian Covenant. During her late teenage years the war started to ramp up as the Covenant began to take over Tethys. She enlisted and trained as a pilot before she was stationed at Tarant Station, an orbital platform over Tethys.

When the Covenant sent a massive invasion fleet that would eventually completely occupy Tethys, the first station to get hit was Tarant Station. Covenant forces massacred most of the soldiers stationed there, but Noora led a few others to safety and kept them alive until an extraction team pulled them out of the station.

Her leadership and bravery propelled her into Clandestine Affairs division of the U.E.G., where she participated in a number of black-op missions and is rumored to have racked up nine Covenant leadership assassinations, including two Oracle assassinations.
