Across the Void Adoptable Animals

Gemma
When Pax Elara and Holmes need to raise money to buy a replacement part on Lektra, they see Gemma on an animal race track. When she fails to win the race, she is belittled by her owner. Pax can choose to adopt her (💎18) and change her name. If she does, Holmes offers to hide Gemma since crew members aren’t allowed to have pets. She is designated as Unit 520RX7, test subject of the Pan-Galactic Laboratories, a bioengineering manufacturer that was shut down for black market trading. Holmes believes Gemma was designed from the cells up.

In keeping with the astronomy naming theme of this series, Gemma is one of the names of Alpha Coronae Borealis, a binary star in the constellation of Corona Borealis, or The Northern Crown. If her default name is kept, she will share the same name as Gemma from The Elementalists, Gemma Montjoy from The Unexpected Heiress, and Gemma Navarro from Guarded.

Biodroid
According to Deimos, it is standard protocol for each Marshall fighter ship to be issued a biodroid. Their purpose is to repair the ship and act as co-pilot. However, Eos was assigned a ship before the protocol was enacted. Now, Eos has the option of adding one. He is a little droid you can choose to make (💎15) with Deimos to help Eos in his ship. You can choose its name, the default one being "Ion".
