Barbara Patten

Barbara Patten was a former genetic slave and a citizen of the Republic of Haven.
In 1886 PD, the slaver convoy she was on was intercepted by a People's Navy force. Most of the Mesan ships were able to jump into hyperspace, but the ship Barbara was on was destroyed before it could translate. She, a fellow slave named Timothy Zeiger, and two guards were the only ones to get away in a lifeboat, and were soon picked up by the Havenites.The Havenites spaced the Mesan guards within the hour.
About a year later, Barbara married Patten, one of the crewmen of the ship that had saved her, and became a Havenite citizen. ()
