Naomi Nagata is a Belter who grew up on prospecting ships in the Belt and Outer Planets. She is an extremely talented engineer, and uses her expertise to improvise ways to keep her crew alive.
Growing up on poor Belter mining ships meant that Naomi's early life was lived on a knife's edge: nearly suffocating, starving, and becoming marooned were regular occurrences throughout her childhood.
Having a degree from a "University in the Belt" she later rose to Chief Engineer aboard the ice hauler Canterbury (which supplies water for the Asteroid Belt's residents), she appears to be a model Belter success story, though she carries with her a secret pain.
According to an MCRN file on Naomi, she was born on Ceres Station and both of her parents are deceased. The file claimed, that Naomi was affiliated with the Outer Planets Alliance cell that included Captain Rokku, Marco Inaros, Cyn and Karal.
She is cagey about her past, even with her closest friends. She abhors violence, but has witnessed enough injustice to understand the necessity of it. Her complicated relationship with violence and her troubled history have led to an unlikely friendship with the Canterbury's mechanic, Amos Burton.
