==Biography==
==Biography==
Talitha Macer was born on the struggling [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]] in [[2537]]. When she was nine years old, Macer's father, who served in the Sedran Colonial Guard, was killed during a sting operation to infiltrate a weapon smuggling ring. After her father was killed Macer was raised in a rough neighborhood and while in secondary school she began to associate with street gangs. After a number of encounters with the local [[law enforcement]], mostly for petty crimes, she was detained in a youth detention facility for a year. As a result of her time in the correctional facility Macer began to rethink her life and with a new sense of purpose, enlisted in the Colonial Guard to honor her late father. She enrolled in the youth wing of the Sedran Colonial Guard at the age of thirteen and quickly proved her abilities as both a combatant and a [[pilot]]. She was involved in a number of operations to against local criminals, in particular smugglers and narcotics dealers, as well as several orbital defense operations against [[pirate]]s over a period of two years. By the age of age nineteen, she had risen to the rank of private first class and reported directly to [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Aiken]].<ref name="wp macer"/>

==Personality and traits==
==Personality and traits==
Macer is curious and intelligent. Although she is loyal to her commander, [[Randall Aiken]], she is not as resentful to the [[United Nations Space Command]] as most of the Sedran Colonial Guard. She is also noted for her ambition to advance in her military career, viewing the cooperation with Locke's team as an opportunity to prove herself. Although distrustful of Locke at first, she eventually came to trust him over the course of the group's struggle to survive on the Alpha Halo fragment.<ref name="SDCC"/>
