Aeryn
Sun
Officer
Aeryn Sun (played by Claudia Black) is a tough-as-nails ex-Peacekeeper.
She joined the crew of Moya after she was declared 'irreversibly
contaminated' by Bailar Crais due to her interaction with Crichton and
the crew of Moya during Moya's escape from Peacekeeper custody. Aeryn
was born in space, and she fully intends to die in space as well. She
is a member of the Sebacean race, and as such lacks the gland necessary
to regulate temperature, leaving her vulnerable to hot environments.
Aeryn is the best combat pilot in the known universe, and she
frequently proves this to the crew. Though in the beginning, Aeryn
detests the crew of Moya as lesser species, over time she grows to care
for them, and she eventually considers them as friends, when she learns
the concept of friendship. Aeryn will do anything to help her friends,
even to the point of risking her own life to save them, and she has no
qualms about killing anybody who threatens them or refuses to get out
of her way. Through her friends, she slowly realizes her
worth as
a person, rather than just a soldier, and it is because of their
contribution to her life that she is so fiercely defensive of them.
Aeryn is a master marksman, proficient in all Peacekeeper weaponry and
military technology, a master of hand to hand combat, and a brilliant
tactician and strategist. Her preferred weapon is a Peacekeeper Pulse
Pistol, though she frequently carries several weapons with her into any
given situation.
