Jodi was a common child-laborer in the mining pits of the Wolf Clan's northern continent when she came to the attention of Star Colonel Mellan Radick, then commander of the Third Battle Cluster. Her physical strength rivals that of an Elemental, even though Jodi is half a meter shorter. The only blemish on a promising career is Star Commander Jodi's paralyzing fear of space travel. Though Jodi proved an excellent infantryman and showed great intuitive skills on the battlefield, attempts to cure her fear of space travel have not been successful. After five years of service and hundreds of trips into space, she still must take strong psychomalleable drugs to control her phobia, drugs that have a definite effect on her leadership abilities early in a planetary campaign. Jodi died in the fighting on Tukayyid.
