Xandria "Ari" Maddox, a Makanian who was dropped on Knowwhere when she was a baby. Tortured, trained and experimented on until she found a way off that rock when she was 12. Now, she's 13, stuck on Xander (with a particular skill set in bounty hunting) and finds a fast way to make 40,000 units. But that mission gets her caught and set to prison where she finds a few others willing to escape with her.
