Background

One of Rear Admiral Michael Abbot's most trusted yeomen, having worked with the man since his days as CO aboard the frigate Victorian, Deidre "Red" Parry has developed a reputation as a cool, collected, and consummately professional soldier. That might be why, after Abbot's arrest and subsequent execution, she's continued to do her job to near-perfection under Colonel Andrus Pewter without so much as blinking an eye. These days she can still be seen drafting general orders, routing routine and not-so-routine communiques, handling telephone conversations, maintaining records, proofreading documents, and otherwise keeping order in the ship's not insignificant bureaucracy.

At meetings both public and private, Red is a constant presence at Colonel Pewter's side, and the two have rapidly developed an effective working relationship — to the point at which she can almost predict exactly what her boss wants at any given moment, from tylium-esque coffee to a warming double of whiskey.
