What do you think of my idea on a way to introduce only 1 member of A New Race to Traveller?

Out of boredom I came up with a idea to introduce only 1 member of A New Race to Traveller? and she could even end up A Pc in Drinax. What do you think?

Basically around the time that she would have been 4 months old A Trading Ship whose crew are descendants of Drinaxians jumped into A System and detected the remains of what appeared to be a vast space battle involving very large very high tech ships

We're talking around 1,200 ships per side, none of them massing less them 4,200 tons, between 30 and 40 Capital Ships per side and not 1 of the ships was build below TL 14

Both fleets belonged to the same Intergalactic Nation that's never been encountered before and its almost guaranteed that the personnel on the ships were drawn from at least 17 different sentient races, none of which have ever been encountered before

For some unknown reason, but the most likely reason is that both sides used very highly advanced alien weapons that no one in known space has even heard of, theirs not only nothing to salvage, theirs actually nothing left

Strangely enough theirs not 1 remaining ship but their is A TL 17 Escape Pod, naturally they pick it up, even stranger is that once the occupant is safe, see below, The TL 17 Escape Pod disintegrates itself

Inside they find A 4 month old alien child of a previously unknown race, strangely enough she appears to almost completely human, the 3 main differences are that has shimmering white wings, her eyes are unnaturally green and her Skin is tough enough to give her 4 points of natural Armor even when naked

In order to make sure the babies safe, after all she's only A 4 month old alien child and its clear from the quality of her clothing, the escape pod she was in and the cot she was in that her family are Senior Nobles that are very powerful, very wealthily and very influential and they will likely bag a reward of a few million +Cr for her, they take her back to Drinax

A even bigger clue to that her family are Senior Nobles, their not actually Senior Nobles, their Royalty, is that the fleet that was seemed to have been protecting her consisted of around 1,200 ships, none of them massed less them 4,200 tons and none of them were below TL 14

Back then Olebs not as crazy as he was in 1,105, but that's actually very easy, he also realizes that its clear from the quality of her clothing that her family is very powerful, very wealthily and very influential

So when A Trading Ship turns up with A 4 month old alien child of a previously unknown race whose clearly from A family that are Senior Nobles that are very powerful, very wealthily and very influential he decides to take her in and raise her as his adopted child

Even though he and Rao, who hasn't even been born yet, see next paragraph, won't come up with the the plan to rebuild Drinax using Piracy for another 45 years, 7 months, again see next paragraph its obvious that she comes from A family that are Senior Nobles that are very powerful, very wealthily and very influential

His way of thinking is that since its clear that this 4 month old alien child of a previously unknown race clearly comes from A family that are Senior Nobles that are very powerful, very wealthily and very influential means that if he adopts her he can take the credit for raising and protecting her and her family will help him rebuild Drinax

Well Oleb is very wrong, but in a good way, that's because her family aren't Senior Nobles that are very powerful, very wealthily and very influential, oh no their The Royal Family and if Oleb plays his cards right her family would help him conquer The entire Trojan Reach, Hierate and Glorious Empire

Sadly even though he could have and would have got her family to help him conquer The entire Trojan Reach, Hierate and Glorious Empire he'll do something whilst drunk off his head, I'm thinking loads of verbal and mental abuse, maybe even a slap or 2

That is why her family won't do what they otherwise would have done but because of what Oleb did prior to that Incident they won't punish him either

I estimate that she's spend 7 terms in her career, so she'd be 46 when she starts adventuring, which means that at the time she was found Harrick would, if I'm right, be 48-46 or 2 and Rao won't be born for another 46-28 or 18 years, so sooner or later she would make a good playmate for her adopted older brother Harrick

1 interesting thing is that even though her family are clearly Senior Nobles, their not actually Senior Nobles, their Royalty, with the alien child having been raised among humans, by humans, since before she was 5 months old her mannerisms, personality, way of thinking, education, training and career will all be entirely human

Other then her ability to fly at heights, speeds and altitudes identical to that of A Golden Eagle, her shimmering white wings, having her eyes that are a unnaturally green and having Skill that is tough enough to give her 4 points of natural Armor even when naked she would follow the rules for Humans
