Poppy Castro

Poppy Castro was one of several dozen researchers and archaeologists based on Peri when the CSN launched Operation Clean Sweep against a number of insurgents secreted close to the dig sites.

During the evacuation she, along with a number of others, ran into Simon Dodds who was attempting to make it to an extraction zone, following a rough ditch in his Tactical Assault Fighter. Surprised, he opened fire on the group, badly wounding one and killing Poppy and Stefan Pitt.

A court-martial recorded a verdict of unlawful killing and sentenced Dodds to six months' suspension from duty. All appeals were rejected.
