Vel5

Tam Velorek was a technician in the Peacekeepers, who specialized in Leviathan biomechanoids and Pilots. While under the command of Captain Bialar Crais, he was assigned to Moya while she was still under the control of the Peacekeepers. Crais had initiated a project meant to genetically engineer a Leviathan biomechanoid gunship -- which Moya was intended to carry and birth. Moya's Pilot was uncooperative, and he was assigned with the task of replacing her.

Velorek was compassionate and respectful of the Pilots he worked with -- something which differentiated him from the other Peacekeepers. This nature proved invaluable in convincing another Pilot to bond with Moya even though it meant death for her first Pilot. He oversaw the forced bonding between the Leviathan and the new Pilot.

Over the course of this assignment, Velorek met Aeryn Sun -- at the time, a Prowler pilot who was under Crais' command as well. The two quickly bonded and became lovers. He was relatively open with Aeryn about his dissatisfaction with Crais and his regrets about working on this project.

Those feelings ultimately led him to sabotage the project -- installing a contraceptive shield that prevented Moya's pregnancy from developing. Velorek hinted at this sabotage to Aeryn, and offered her a chance to leave the Peacekeepers with him. Instead, she turned him in as a traitor to Crais. Although he was arrested for treason, and sentenced to death, Velorek was proud of Aeryn for doing something to distinguish herself.
