Lieutenant Szix "Phoenix" Maelstrom is a UGAF fighter pilot assigned as Talon Two aboard the UGAF Destruction. Known for aggressive pursuit instincts, sharp reflexes, and intense loyalty to her squad leader, Szix brings restless combat energy to assignments that often demand patience and restraint.

As a Gladius escort pilot, Szix operates in close support of Arquebus-class intelligence and sensor missions, providing protection during long-range data collection and beacon patrol operations. Though capable of disciplined formation flying, she is most alive when a situation breaks from routine and requires speed, pressure, and decisive action.

With four confirmed combat kills, Szix is a proven combat pilot on the edge of ace status. Her confidence can press against the limits of protocol, but her commitment to the people she protects is never in doubt. Among those who know her best, "Not on my watch" is less a phrase than a promise.
