Dr. Solaris is a scientist who promised to fix the world’s energy problems by launching a series of solar retransmission satellites (collect solar power where it is always available, transmit to ground by microwave laser).
Early privately funded successes leaded to major government backing, including telecommunications backbone deals on the backend
Solaris was not the only one to take advantage of High Earth Orbit (HEO) launch capacity in this period, several large habitat stations being set up in orbit and on the moon. There is trade between these habitats, but they are set up to self sustain for extended periods, despite their large populations.
Solaris reveals his intentions as she coordinates a microwave laser attack on Earth’s most powerful electrical power plants – careful not to take too many lives, but otherwise being rather indiscriminate – while the Terrorist group Independent Lunar Nation attacks and disables the nuclear generation facilities of the largest human colony on the far side of the moon, Doppler Colony – the biggest group of people that his weapons could not reach.
As a large amount of evacuees are shuttled to other colonies, Solaris continues to dismantle important Earth Infrastructure – Making various claims, Like purging the species that ruined the planet until its numbers reached sustainable levels. Meanwhile, he proposes neutrality with the other colonies – if they don’t interfere with his actions, he will let them live independent of Earth control. The sudden influx of refugees from the Lunar Independent Nation attack on Doppler Colony, there was a strain on everyone’s resources, but many are confident they can restore Doppler Colony eventually… Or expand other colonies to accommodate.

[RA05] Was one of many refugees that suffered severe injuries… of e of the few recovered with any signs of life from a section known to be studying low gravity biological formulations and production – some medicines, some for other uses. There are about 50 people she could be.
She was unidentifiable, records not available, genetic tests coming back inconclusive. As she recovered, she appeared to have a severe case of, Vitiligo, Her skin pale white clouds over feathered dark brown details.
It was also noted, impossibly, that all traces of her bones were disappearing from scans as she recovered. At some point in her recovery, [RA05] picked up the nickname of “Indian Rubber Girl” – which seemed to be all too appropriate. While maintaining a human outline tool little effort, any locomition requires an intentional “stretch” to fit the required action – and she could stretch much farther than any human could. Additionally, it would found any wounds she received could be “sealed” by the application of normally scalding temperatures; this was in fact required for her to have anything like normal healing.
As she was finally released – but under regular observation, she tried to find her place in new home, and struggled. She eventually decided she needed to directly oppose Dr. Solaris and the Independent Lunar Nation, which meant acting independently of the colonies.
