Phloid was a male technician in charging of maintaining the computer systems at the Q'Maere Research Facility. Formerly a member of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, his loyalty came under suspicion and he was sent to the Re-Education branch to be "re-brained". He was part of the staff left behind when Moff Kentor Sarne abandoned the facility. He was a squat and retiring man who rarely spoke.
