Truth Amberlamps (not her real name) was an engineer on the Fast Attack Corvette "Fighting Mongoose" She was a native of the planet Aneirin. She was recruited to the crew by Captain Eric Woden when his ship called on the Starlock Chapultepec.

Backstory
Tru Amberlamps grew up in a poor neighborhood of Catterick, an industrial city on the Clyde River. Catterick produced inexpensive consumer goods of moderate quality, primarily for export. Amberlamps hitched a ride on an orbital tether and stowed away on a freighter/transport that brought her to the Sapphire system, where she debarked at the Loki orbital docklands.  She was able to secure work as a hostess on a Bodicean liner. She spent three solar years on the ship, learning about ship's systems from the engineering crew in her spare time, before being expelled at Chapultepec after a physical altercation with the ship's Lead Passenger Service Officer.  As an unattached person, the Commonwealth Authorities on Chapultepec Station issued a removal order, requiring her to return to her planet of origin. Instead, Captain Woden offered her a berth on Fighting Mongoose as an engineering apprentice.
