Si’dra is a part of Millennium Break’s mission to get off of the moon of Partizan. When they make it to the Portcullis Gate and discover the Pact’s plans for Operation Shackled Sun however, the group splits up, with Si’dra, Eiden Teak, Avar, Ryrira, and M'reb taking their equipment and setting up a Millenium Break base on Collier, and the rest of the group staying behind to try and save Partizan. Si’dra parts ways with Milli and Broun promising to find a way to send messages across the galaxy, and to be in touch soon. [3]
Relationships[edit | edit source]
Ver'million Blue[edit | edit source]
They were close with Millie during their service days, and were "the only person who had any sort of idea that Millie was planning something." However, si believes Millie was KIA until Millie contacts si in "On the Eve of Revolution" under the name Cinnabar Cyan to recruit si into Millennium Break.[4] Si’dra holds no grudge for Milli’s silence previous to this, and is very excited to hear from her. The two spend time together on Fort Icebreaker as the Strand Semaphore becomes more central to their operations, Milli traveling with Si’dra to put up towers across the moon. They part at the Portcullis Gate over Partizan when Si’dra leaves to set up a Millenium Break base elsewhere in the galaxy and Milli stays behind to attempt to stop Operation Shackled Sun; si promises to stay in touch.

Si’dra meets Broun on Fort Icebreaker when they work together on Millennium Break’s Strand Semaphore network, with Broun continuing to be friendly with si throughout their tenure on Fort Icebreaker. They part at the Portcullis Gate over Partizan, and si promises to stay in touch.
