Phloid was a male technician, according to legends, whose responsibility was the upkeep of the computer systems located at the Q'Maere Research Facility. Having previously served within the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, doubts arose concerning his allegiance, resulting in his assignment to the Re-Education division for "re-braining." When Moff Kentor Sarne deserted the facility, Phloid was among the personnel who remained behind. He was a quiet and stocky individual, not given to frequent conversation.
