Ilse Martinez was a DropShip Captain from the Free Worlds League. She was described as an attractive, black-maned woman.[1]

History[edit]

By 3020, Martinez would be the first officer of Renfred Tor's Merchant-class JumpShip Invidious[1] and captain of the Phobos, an aging Trojan-class DropShip. Martinez and her ship served as part of the Transport Division for the Gray Death Legion.

Martinez was loud and brassy volunteering to ferry the Gray Death Legion past the Kurita blockade of Verthandi. She was captain and no one, including Grayson could question her.[1] After her insistence on joining the Verthandi operation, her DropShip Phobos ended up damaged and out of position on the planet's surface. She then worked alongside Davis McCall to turn her spacecraft into a seafaring vessel and sail the 500 miles across the surface to where they needed to be.[2]

This, combined with the earlier shoddy conversion into an armed vessel at the hands of space pirates, apparently doomed the Phobos in the long run. Although it is not spelled out if, when or under which circumstances the original Phobos was decommissioned, at some time before 3028 the Gray Death Legion operated a different vessel under the name Phobos.
