Captain Maria Louisa Cathcart is a Cheetah starfighter pilot in the Commonwealth Royal Navy.[1]
Appearances[]
In the novel Frost Death, she is tasked with the manual correction of the path of Commonwealth surveillance satellite 56/72/98 orbiting the planet Caralis. In doing so, her fighter (which is drifting silently with all systems powered down) inadvertently crosses paths with Lancea 4/892 of Keleustes Rodarchus. Cathcart uses the opportunity to power up her fighter and engage with the element of surprise, destroying the TOG fighter.
Personality[]
Cathcart is irreverent and has a dry sense of humour. She enjoys combat missions and likes her fighter´s acceleration and agility, but is rather ambivalent about drifting silently; a direct confrontation is more her style. Her opinion of superior officers´ intellect is less than flattering.
