Lieutenant Haley Sorlie
#DescriptionDescription
Officer aboard the Battleplate UNS Chesapeake.
Bio
She was born on Earth, but her family moved out when she was eleven [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-04-05%7C2014-04-05]]].
She studied shipbuilding for 15 years[[[1]]], and as a result she knows more about ship design than most shipwrights do [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-03-30%7C2014-03-30]]]. Despite her qualifications, she had a hard time finding work, and she felt joining the UNS Military would be a good way to get to build spaceships [[[2]]].
General Bala-Amin assigned her as a cultural liaison to the Toughs when they were representing the Oafan Freehold [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-04-05%7C2014-04-05]]].

Speculation
Despite having a couple of degrees and considerable knowledge in shipbuilding, the UNS Military nor anyone else employed her in this capacity. This may be a result of the same Glass Ceiling Para Ventura mentioned as her motivation for joining the Toughs [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-04-22%7C2008-04-22]]]. (Not sure I agree with the previous paragraph, since Ventura was later shown to be a UNS operative, and not the civilian contractor she initially claimed to be. Of course, just because she was a spy when she said it, doesn't mean it's not true - ABQJOHN)
