Hannah Siberia (Xibalia)

Hannah is acting captain on the Blue Sun Corp dreadnought "Hēi Lóng" (Black Dragon) until a deal comes through (hopefully around May) that would mean she gets her own Firefly- or Kepler-class ship. Apparently, this deal is available to a lot of captains, and Hannah doesn't hold out much hope she can make a go of captaining her own ship among the thousands of pilots out there. A lot has changed since 2115, the year Hannah was born on the Earth That Was, in Texas, and even the most advanced planes she flew for the Navy never prepared her for navigating the Five Sun Verse and faster-than-light travel. Cryogenically frozen against her will in a classified military project, Hannah ended up in the (blue) hands of the Blue Sun Corp, which took over all classified military projects as a contractor for the Earth That Was when the diaspora began. Shortly before the Battle of Serenity Valley, Hannah was awakened by Blue Sun and put to work as a navigator, then pilot, for the Blue Sun fleet of ships - from Luxury liners to cargo tugs, Hannah eventually learned to fly them all, and was assigned as first officer on the Hēi Lóng when the Independents made their stand. Captain Withers was rarely sober, and gave over command of the Hei Long to Hannah as soon as the airlock closed. The dreadnought more often than not was sent on empty runs, all over the galaxies, and Hannah calculated the financial losses were tremendous, but she kept her mouth shut, collected her pay, and turned her mind to other things during the long, silent black journeys in the cavernous freighter. For example, during the physical exam to get her captain's licence, she was informed her ovaries had been emptied of her entire lifetime collection of eggs. There was a planet orbiting Ghost in the Kalidasa system that had apparently hosted a colony of her ancestors, whose "Siberia" surname was incorrectly changed into "Xibalia" to conform to the Blue Sun naming convention before being set down on a hostile planet with a herd and a generator. Now Xibalia was scheduled for terraforming. What had happened to the colony?
