Born into the Mogavis clan of Space Gypsy foxes, Gemma spent the first few years of her life travelling around with her parents on trade missions aboard their space freighter The Rapscallion. She is an accomplished pilot, having mastered the rudiments of flying The Rapscallion by the time she was ten years old.
Caught up in the war between The Federal Alliance of Planets and The Bitlexian Affiliation, The Space Gypsies, who had at first tried to act as mediators between the two warring sides, soon began being hunted down and imprisoned by The Alliance. Gemma spent some time in the Alliance child labour camp on Galvert 5 before being rescued by her family's freighter, which had been programmed to seek her out.
After freeing her little brother Damien from the neighbouring camp, Gemma has spent the past three years trying to find her parents. Both she and Damien have had to live on their wits. They have learned how to survive by trading with friendly allies and stealing from their oppressors. Two years ago she was badly injured after her freighter was shot down by a Federal Alliance battlecruiser. She was rescued by a young collie called Duke, who happens to be a partner in the cooperative ownership of The Drakester City Spaceport on the peaceful planet of Zenophon. It was love at first sight....well, at least, for Gemma it was. Duke is gradually getting used to the idea!
At the moment, Gemma and Damien still make their living out of buying and selling just about anything they can lay their paws on. Between the responsibilities of keeping her trade alliances open and looking after her brother, Gemma is also completing her education at Drakester College.
