## Biography

### Early Life and Adulthood

In 5368 ASA, Cass Francoh was born on the planet Uplarias, a United Cassiopeian Republic world covered in advanced domed cities that comfortably housed billions of people. Having been raised in a rather wealthy family, Cass grew up learning the ins and outs of socializing with others.

Having spent so much of her time as a socialite, Cass' grades in education suffered as a result. Despite this, she still managed to persevere and graduate from medical school as an adult. Many throughout her life had even remarked her as being too smart for her own good, at times. She worked as a surgeon on Uplarias for several years, often performing both cosmetic surgeries and lifesaving procedures.

### Crashing on Fremifor: A New Life

In the final days of the year 5409 ASA, Cass was hired for a surgery job which required her to travel to a faraway world in the eastern Outer Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. She boarded a spacefaring vessel piloted by the contractor Max Alterman, alongside the custodian Tzaeru Jalmari, the latter of whom Cass had already been acquainted with on previous galactic travels.

A malfunction in their ship's engine systems caused the entire vessel to be dragged out of hyperspace and set on a path to crash-land on the backwater planet of Fremifor. All three individuals aboard the ship managed to survive the crash with minimal injuries.

While appearing as a freak accident, the crash was actually the purposeful work of LANDER, a secretive organization that often crashed ships with small passenger counts and discreetly observed the progress of survivors as a means of research. LANDER tampered with the ship's engines before the ship took flight, while also having hired Cass for a falsified surgery job in order to get her and the ship's two other passengers out into the largely uncharted Outer Expanse.

Although the first few days being stranded on Fremifor were tough for Francoh, Alterman, and Jalmari, the group of three managed to establish a serviceable encampment for themselves through their combined efforts. This base would eventually develop into a settlement, which they called Danessa Mire, within the first few weeks of the new year 5410 ASA.

#### Finding Love in Struggle

As the three settlers continued to live on Fremifor for several months, Tzaeru Jalmari developed feelings for Cass and eventually asked her out. The woman reciprocated these feelings and the two entered into a deeply romantic relationship with one another.

## Personality and Traits

Cass was a Human woman with straight black hair, dark-toned skin, and violet-colored eyes. She often kept her hair in a ponytail.

Many recognized Cass as an extroverted and outspoken individual who was great at socializing with others through learned charisma. As a socialite, most people who knew Cass generally had fun with her around during festivities and parties. She was ambitious, passionate, and knowledgeable, at least in regards to the medical world for the latter. She was very quick to pick up and learn new skills, which made her eccentric in the eyes of some.

Having been raised on a world where comforts were commonplace, Cass had a difficult time handling stressful situations, with some considering her to be cowardly and weak in the presence of danger as a result. She succumbed to pain and shock more easily than most others in Danessa Mire.

Cass had a rather geeky and creative side that allowed her to appreciate her husband Tzaeru's romanticism and love for storytelling. She was a deeply sentimental and nostalgic person, with a bit of a competitive streak.

## Skills and Abilities

Cass' strongest skills were as a surgeon, as she had a great understanding on Human biology and on the biologies of several other sentient species found throughout the galaxy. She was a skilled homemade cook and a learned gardener.
