Editing Shelley "Firebird" Thermofrag (section)

=Background=
Shelley is a CDF naval military police Master-at-Arms and a member of an elite anti-mech unit who specialize in taking down mechanized pirates, terrorists, and cascading NHP's with an acceptable level of violence. People can agree to disagree on what "acceptable" means, however. These are not the ACAB kinds of cops, but the Dominion Tank Police-style lovable scamps who cause nearly as much property damage as the perps they're apprehending. They maintain operational through some high-profile success cases, some top brass careers riding on their continued success, and inexhaustible main character energy.

Shelley is somewhat of a loose cannon who managed to direct her innate talent for violence towards constructive ends. Part of that is due to her original surname. She is a very distant relation to some noble line whose name which still carries a lot of weight. This has given her a slight edge in advancing her career and avoiding some of the blowback after sespecially disastrous operations. However, she despises nepotism (part of the reason she's MilPolice is to clamp down hard on that kind of thing) and had her name legally changed to avoid preferential treatment from superiors who assumed she had a lot of clout. She lost a bet with the rest of her unit and now she's legally known as Thermofrag.

Her duties center around the piloting of an SSC Comet - an uncommon model in the CDF – lovingly modified into an aerial electronic and fire support platform with variably lethal weaponry.
