"You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore."
Vanessa Sol Phoenix studied at the University of Caille, looking to her dreams of working in the industrial manufacturing of ships. She enjoys the quiet simple life of mining in the asteroid belts, occassionally dipping into more dangerous territory to explore for rarer ores. Otherwise, she only wishes to peacefully provide for others in New Eden.
She grew up in a simple Gallente home with hard working parents, who taught her that a reliable source of income is key to having a peaceful life. Despite the animosity between the Gallente and the Caldari, she admired the Caldari's way of life, centered on industry and markets. Some would call her a traitor to her people for crossing the border to live among the enemy, but Vanessa never cared for letting scars of the past influence her desires for the future.
