Commander Yara Brightpath
Commander Yara Brightpath has charted more previously unknown star systems than any other active navigator in the Free Traders Guild — a total that stands at forty-seven and continues to climb. She approaches exploration with a methodical patience that belies the genuine danger of her work, treating the unknown not as a threat to be feared but as a problem to be solved with good instruments, careful planning, and the willingness to go slightly further than anyone else has gone before.

“Brightpath names every star system she discovers after a person she respects. She has started running out of people she respects and has begun cycling through historical figures. She has also discovered that 'Admiral Voss System' is considerably more memorable than most of the existing naming conventions.”
