Avalon Brookes
Avalon Brookes is the inventor of the sphere drive. His propulsion technology makes the Copious expedition possible.
Brookes's Venus facility
The Flaxens provided Avalon Brookes with a facility on Venus in which to modify the hawks. It also served as his place of recovery after punishments imposed by the Flaxus.
Claudius Sirister
Claudius Sirister held the title Flaxus and ruled the Flaxens from the Hawk's Retreat on Venus. He struck an agreement with Avalon Brookes to defeat Echo and accelerate the conquest and extermination of Earth's remaining Human population.
Flaxen combat knives
Flaxen soldiers carried combat knives with yellow handles bearing their black glyph. The four prisoners taken at Aconcagua had knives concealed in ankle sheaths.
Mutilation of Avalon Brookes
Claudius ordered a guard to remove one of Brookes's ears after the attack on Venus and the hawks' failed interception. He framed the punishment as a response to Brookes's failure to heed his orders.
Ribous
Ribous is a Flaxen alcoholic drink produced from a genetically engineered grain suited to Venus's climate. Jaakobah Flint drinks it at his Camp Skadi house.
Stealth systems
The hawks carried concealment systems that prevented Echo's sensors from detecting them until they were dangerously close. Cylli later gave Echo and its remaining scorpion comparable stealth.
