'''Ryma''' is a [[Vistula]]n of the [[Sea of Stone]], and as such is born into a life of slavery under [[Kaleel]]. Early in her life, she is sold to Governor [[Tabor Saroyan]] to serve at the pleasure of those who stay at the [[Governor's Statehouse]], and during this time befriends his son, [[Regis Saroyan]]. Unlike most of the denizens of the Sea of Stone, she is immune to Kaleel's "sorcery," having a keen perception of the actual truths of her existence, and thus joins a loose underground resistance to Kaleel.
'''Felina Redding''' is a digital programmer under the employ of [[Amos Armat]] who, unbeknownst to her until [[2491]] CE, is her father.
 
During their early years at the Statehouse, Regis and Ryma's relationship blossoms into a romance. Spurred by the ongoing slavery on Vistula and his inability to do anything about it, Regis enrolls in the [[Earth Defense Directorate]]'s cadet corps. This leaves Ryma alone and as equally powerless, for her own people have been gaslit into believing Kaleel is their savior from the victimization by [[Earth]]'s [[Terran]]s.

In [[2491]] CE, [[Ryma's brother|her brother]] uncovers Kaleel's poisoning of [[food disc]]s meant for [[New Chicago]] at [[Processing Plant 347]], but [[Julio]] has him killed before she is able to learn more, a fact that she is aware of.
 
Her chance to do something about her people's plight comes in the form of {{buck}}, who accompanies Regis on his return home, with an honor guard consisting of Col. [[Wilma Deering]], Maj. [[Duke Danton]] and Maj. [[Fields]]. Following a banquet celebrating Regis' return, where Rogers defends Ryma after she accidentally spills a drink on him, Ryma is sent to Rogers' lodgings as a comfort woman. It is there that she takes the opportunity to divulge what she knows to Rogers.  


Acting on this information, Rogers exits his lodgings to investigates Plant 347 and subsequently is able to uncover the source of the poison, but Ryma's duplicity is discovered by Julio who has her—and Col. Deering, who attempts to intervene—taken to Kaleel's fortress in the Sea of Stone.
After Armat and Redding's mother decided to surrender Redding into fosterage, she is raised by [[Rita]].


Ryma is brought before Kaleel after helping Deering escape following their disembarkment from their shuttle. Kaleel questions her and reveals that she has been blamed for her own brother's death, and that she should be put to death as well. However, Ryma proudly declares that she is not afraid of him, and discovers the Achilles' heel to Kaleel's "[[Kiss of Death]]." Firmly irritated at the display impotence, he has her sent to the pit to die.  
Following her ascent into adulthood, Redding is offered a job at Armat's company as a digital programmer. Her life is endangered when she came across a computer code that, if deciphered, would ruin 75% of Armat's illegal operations. Not knowing what it was, she reports it and this report is intercepted by Armat's competitors, including [[Morgan Velosi]] of [[Sinaloa]].


Deering's freedom is short lived, and her [[contamination detector]] is used by [[Stella Warden]] to lure Rogers into a trap; despite this, Rogers is able to engineer their escape from the pit, and Ryma encourages the small group of Kaleel's resistance fighters to rise up against Kaleel during the [[Battle of Vistula]].
Despite Armat's attempt to warn Redding, Velosi's henchpeople are able to abduct Redding from her apartment in [[New Chicago]], and spirit her away to Sinaloa so that Velosi may extract the code. Armat's conscience forces him to seek out assistance from the [[Defense Directorate]], and [[Elias Huer]] assigns Maj. [[Marla Landers]] and Capt. {{buck}} to extricate Redding from Sinaloa, before she succumbs to irreparable harm by [[Carl Morphus]], a skilled information extractor.


Ryma is able to help reveal Kaleel for what he really is, and returns to Earth with the Saroyans following Kaleel's defeat. The elder Saroyan realizes that he has been made to look like a fool for many years, and realizes that both his son and Ryma have much to offer in making Vistula a greater world {{BR25|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.
Upon the success of her extraction from Sinaloa, Redding meets Armat and is told of Armat's true nature. Armat reveals to her that he is her father, which she disbelieves, to which Armat replies that the belief might be for the best {{BR25|Vegas in Space}}.

Felina Redding is a digital programmer under the employ of Amos Armat who, unbeknownst to her until 2491 CE, is her father.

After Armat and Redding's mother decided to surrender Redding into fosterage, she is raised by Rita.

Following her ascent into adulthood, Redding is offered a job at Armat's company as a digital programmer. Her life is endangered when she came across a computer code that, if deciphered, would ruin 75% of Armat's illegal operations. Not knowing what it was, she reports it and this report is intercepted by Armat's competitors, including Morgan Velosi of Sinaloa.

Despite Armat's attempt to warn Redding, Velosi's henchpeople are able to abduct Redding from her apartment in New Chicago, and spirit her away to Sinaloa so that Velosi may extract the code. Armat's conscience forces him to seek out assistance from the Defense Directorate, and Elias Huer assigns Maj. Marla Landers and Capt. William "Buck" Rogers to extricate Redding from Sinaloa, before she succumbs to irreparable harm by Carl Morphus, a skilled information extractor.

Upon the success of her extraction from Sinaloa, Redding meets Armat and is told of Armat's true nature. Armat reveals to her that he is her father, which she disbelieves, to which Armat replies that the belief might be for the best (BR25: "Vegas in Space").
