Dill Korlack

A volus programmer of some renown within the Shuoma System, **Dill Korlack** is the product of joint batarian and volus education. A brilliant software engineer, she specializes in holographic technologies.

## Biography

Born on the joint batarian/volus colony world of Bumi, Dill was raised a member of Clan Bektun. Her parents, Osed and Malo, were both software technicians employed by the Hegemony of Khar’shan to maintain their robo-mining operations on the ammonia-filled world. From a young age she was interacting with batarians, intrigued by the cultural differences between the two peoples and the suited humanoids’ relatively aggressive nature.

At the age of 5, her family, among others, was traded to Clan Korlack in a move aimed at preventing the batarians from bowing out of galactic politics. Din Korlack, volus representative on the Citadel, hoped to use these closer clan ties to solidify the volus and batarian relationship, and suggested the installation of volus software engineers within batarian facilities directly. Dill’s family volunteered for the change of pace, being set up on the nearby world of Sec Tur.

Life under Hegemony leadership was a stark change of pace from life on Bumi. The suited roles were now swapped, as the domed cities like Rozhann were filled with air, not ammonia. Initially intrigued by the gruffness of the batarian people, Dill soon learned that they too were just as diverse a people as her own. She was introduced to many different aspects of their culture, and for the first time encountered slavery. Young, overly-understanding and misled from many angles by propaganda, Dill accepted the practice.

Dill attended technical school in Rozhann, one of few volus students within the state-run educational facility. She found that she excelled in computer systems programming, much like her parents, and encountered holographic technology. From the get-go she was enamored, and took to the technology as if it magnetically pulled her in. Earning her certification in Computer Sciences and Holographic Projection Systems from the Rozhenn Technical School at 17, she was hired before the certification was even received by Naga Yap, owner and proprietor of System’s Edge, casino and entertainment center on the distant moon of Nefari.

Transferring once more, Dill was assigned to the massive projection centers, fantastical holographic rooms that could mold environments out of thin air with limited interactivity. Most commonly these were used by tourists as limited combat sims or to relive historical events, particularly those surrounding Batarian/Volus First Contact. With her spare time, however, Dill pushed the limits of the technology, attempting to make more detailed and more interactive worlds than ever before. Her prowess was well noted, and by 2182 she had become one of the more senior technicians on the moon, despite her young age.

## Personality

Dill is driven by a desire to test limits, particularly when it comes to technology. She loves to challenge herself by befriending particularly tough personalities, though she does have issues maintaining those relationships if they do become friendly. A very goal-oriented mine, she is unsettled when the job is done and will often look for another one, to the point of creating issues where there were none.

She is also not one to question the world around her. While she loves testing the limits of technology, pushing it until it breaks, she does not seek to do the same to others, to their cultures, or to their practices. She accepts the world as it is, and does not believe in fixing faults she finds in society.

## Physical Description

In terms of her frame, Dill is quite standard in appearance for a volus. Remaining in her environmental suit as necessitated by her biology, she prefers to be nondescript in her appearance aside from the custom coloration of her shoulder fabric.

## Armament

Dill carries with her a Judgement heavy pistol for self-defense, and her omni-tool is equipped with the Combat Ability Decoy. Her armor is equipped with Blade Armor and Tactical Cloak projectors as well.
