“ We want to know what your plan is for ending the DDF's spiral of failure. ”
Valda Mendez is a National Assembly Leader (NAL), and a former Defiant Defense Force (DDF) pilot.[1] She's an experienced cargo pilot, having served in the DDF for sixteen years.[2]
She's the mother of Arturo, and her family lives in the deep caverns.[3] The Mendezes owns three private fighters[4] that are used as escorts during trading operations.[5] These ships are not accessible to the DDF during times of need as they are primarily reserved to evacuate the Mendez family if they are in danger.[4] They have a private radio frequency, 1250,[6] as well as a private radio that is able to unscramble the pilot frequencies.[4]
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Valda is a petite woman with tan skin.[1] She's highly critical of Ironsides' leadership of the DDF; at the same time, she seems unwilling to acknowledge her and her fellow NALs part in crippling the fleet's capacity.[1]
History[edit]
During her younger years Valda joined the DDF, becoming a pilot and flying. At one point, she was in the same squadron as Ironsides.[1] She eventually retired after sixteen years of service.[2]
Years later, Valda had risen to become a National Assembly Leader. While she held her post, her son, Arturo, joined the DDF with the intention of becoming a pilot. Partway through his training, after he was almost shot down during a flight, Valda pulled strings to have Arturo removed from flight school. She shows little regret for it, despite his skill as a pilot and the asset he would be to the DDF.[1][7]
