The Gagic Soikan who gave birth to Velko Jahen was a woman. Jahen, whose father was a Livtak defector, received the characteristic coloration common among Livtaks. Consequently, when Jahen accepted a position at the Starlight Beacon space station, Ghal Tarpfen, who was the Head of Security, at first believed she had been a combatant for the Livtak Union during the Soikan conflict, rather than fighting for the Gagic Alliance.
