Helena Porter

Helena Porter was a Professor of Computer Science and AI specialist at the Olympia College of Engineering and Math in the capital city on Athena. She argued very early on that the Unity Corporation was preparing for war. At the time she was considered a fear monger among the bureaucrats of the kingdom of Athena. She became a minor celebrity and sought after pundit when her fears proved correct.

When her husband Roger Gillian was ordered into reeducation during the occupation, Porter used her influence at the MoD to get herself placed on a gate construction mission to the Arcadia system. The mission launched on August 3, 328. It was no secret that the MoD was happy to let her go, as her presence was a continued thorn in its side during the occupation.

Porter is the only woman ever to give birth on an interstellar gate construction mission.
