Background

Tirix Zizx carries with him a stigma that every starship (records actually indicate 5 of 8 ships) that he has served on has either been destroyed or damaged significantly enough that they are scrapped. In fact, if one were to talk with anyone whom he has served with, the recommendations would be superb. Each of the ships lost or abandoned were on extremely difficult and/or dangerous missions. Furthermore, not a single crew member was lost from any of these, largely due to Tirix's efforts.

Whether starship captains believe that the adverse events were because of Tirix or because he is just plain bad luck, he is unwanted as a ship's engineer in the UCW Defense Forces. His reputation among UCW Defense Force and Galactic Guard Engineers is quite the opposite. The Logistics Staff found that they could not place him with any UCW Defense Force starship. But, Ord Hlrang identified his talents after some discussion with an engineer of a Galactic Guard Fast Courier. The next day, Tirix Zizx was hired to take care of the base and lander of Quadrant Gamma's Stellar Shield team.
Personality
He is of the traditional school of Kxzxn thought, that his people have much to owe the UCW. Thus, he relishes in taking on any job on the ship from cleaning the environmental systems to replacing damaged hull plates to cooking meals for the crew and passengers.
Quote
"Worry not. You can trust that I will complete the job in a timely fashion."
Powers

As with all Kxzxn, Tirix is able to survive for hours in a vacuum, tethered to the outside of the hull of a spaceship by his own adhesive feet. Thus, he is able to fix damage even without equipment. He does carry a technoanalyzer and uses standard Galactic Guard gear for dangerous situations.
Appearance

Tirix appears to be a typical Kxzxn. He usually stands with four legs and uses four as arms, but can use 2, 6, or 8 legs depending on the situation. His flexible elongated arachnoid body allows him to seem nearly upright or low to the ground as he desires. He will wear his light blue UCW technician jumpsuit most of the time.
