Birthplace: Earth<br /> Birthday: November 19th, 753 S.D.<br /> Leader of the anti-Federation organization Quark, established in the 700s (S.D.).<br /> Having lost her adoptive parents to war, she rode an escape pod into space. Maria was also experimented on as an infant, and it is perhaps due to a combination of these factors that she seems far older than her years.<br /> She formed a relationship with Fayt in hopes that she might learn more about her own hidden powers, which she activated when attacked by federation forces.<br /><br />
