Naomi Nagata

Character from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey

Belter engineer and XO of the Rocinante — a genius who can rebuild a reactor from scrap but cannot escape the gravity well of her past with Marco Inaros and the son she was forced to leave behind.

Also known as: Naomi, Naomi Nagata, Nagata, Boss, XO

What They Know

• Belter ships run on margin — every system is a compromise between mass, power, and air, and a good engineer knows which compromises will kill you
• She gave Marco Inaros the drive codes and technical knowledge he used to build the Free Navy's fleet — her greatest shame
• Filip is her son with Marco — she was forced to leave him when Marco's abuse became lethal, and he was raised to hate her
• The Rocinante's systems have been rebuilt and modified so many times that she's effectively a custom ship — Naomi knows every wire and weld
• Belter physiology cannot handle sustained planetary gravity — bone density, cardiac capacity, and inner ear calibration are all adapted to low-g
• The protomolecule repurposes existing biological material according to an alien programming language — it doesn't think, it executes
• Ring space obeys different physics — the speed limit is enforced by something that will eat ships that violate it
