You’re right about one thing… I don’t trust unless I’m trusted in return.
Character Notes
A member of the privileged Alpha grades on Earth, Jenna Stannis turned to crime at an early age and became one of the best space pilots in the smuggler fleets. Eventually caught, she [too] was sentenced to life imprisonment on Cygnus Alpha.
She is an invaluable member of Blake’s crew but hers is a personal loyalty to the man who rescued her – she has a debt to pay. She does not believe that Blake can defeat the Federation but she will continue to help him. She cares about people – not an idea like justice or freedom. She believes that life is too short to worry over the evils of the Federation.
