Cora was the first member of a Dredger Clan to be recognized by the Bubble's scientific community. It all started when she was chosen to participate in the highly competitive Krait Phanton testing program, promoted by Faucon DeLacy. Her recommendations for modifications in the Frameshift Drive were praised and led to improvements in the ship's design. From then on, Cora became interested in exploration as well. She enrolled at Holloway Bioscience Institute and secured sponsorship for exploratory research in Astrobiology.
