## Relationships

### Main Character

She is the Main Character's employer. In Chapter 22, she is revealed to be the General of the Jura. She and Sol used the Atlas as cover for Jura activities and hid her identity from all former captains. Artemis says that Main Character was the perfect choice as Captain because of his/her will to stay away from the war.

### Unnamed Sparri

If you flirt with her, she turns you down by saying that she is already taken by a Sparri with an impressive wingspan.

### Sol

Sol is the First Officer of the Atlas and Artemis's agent on board. Whatever Captain Elara does -if it doesn't appear to follow Artemis's regulations- Sol reports on it. In Chapter 22, he reveals to the captain that he knew all along that Artemis was Jura. He says that Artemis gave him a place in the universe and a chance to pay her back for everything she had done for him. However, he does not remain loyal to her as his loyalty shifts to Captain Elara instead.

### Pax Elara

In Chapter 6, if you talk to Pax about her time with the Jura she will tell about her stay on Antiope and time spent with a woman in the Jura called The General. The General took Pax in and gave her a place to live. She and other Jura around Pax wanted Pax to be willing to die for the cause, but Pax was never able to make that kind of commitment to them and when The General died, she left.

At the end of Chapter 15, she is the Jura that contacts Pax, revealing that she is not, in fact, dead. She "died" for a few minutes and was brought back but stayed in a coma for several months. It took a while for her body to heal, and for her to learn to walk and talk again. She believes someone on the inside betrayed her, but she doesn't know who. The General asks Pax to look into the files about Deimos. The General believes that Deimos is involved in the assassination attempt on her life. When Pax finds out that it was Deimos who instead convinced the war council that it would be more beneficial to capture the General and tells the General about it, the General doesn't care. She still considers Deimos a threat and finds it necessary to send the Vanguard a message by sending a bomb. Pax tries to warn Deimos but only witnesses how the bomb explodes when Holmes runs past Deimos in the corridor and thereby sets it off.

### Eos Elara

In Chapter 22, when Pax discovers the true identity of The General, Artemis tells her that she was worried at first about Pax belonging with the Jura. Artemis admits to having her Jura operatives capturing Eos and torturing him for Vanguard information. It is Pax's decision to let it go and commit to the Jura or mark Artemis as her enemy.
