History
Quilan contacted Alanik cytonically after the game between Independence and Unity pilots, telling her to report to the Council chambers. Alanik refused, but after a conversation with Rinakin they docked their ship at Quilan's orders. When Rinakin attempted to speak diplomatically with him, Quilan shot a concussion bolt at him. Communicating telepathically, Alanik learned that Quilan planned to turn her and Rinakin over to the Superiority in order to prove his worth to them. She managed to escape by hyperjumping to Detritus, to Quilan's displeasure.[4]
When Alanik returned to ReDawn along with members of Skyward Flight, Quilan commanded the offense against them and told the pilots to bring Alanik in alive. He sensed the cytonic powers of Jorgen and the taynix and was confused by it.[5] He contacted Jorgen telepathically, but Jorgen did not respond. He then chased after Alanik and attacked her ship with mindblades, which she dodged, but he successfully hit her with a concussion bolt, forcing her to crash-land on the platform.[6] Quilan and his Unity forces retreated to regroup after this battle, as they had no teleportation abilities and could not approach the platform without being fired on by the autoturrets.[7]
Relationships
Alanik
“I dug my nails harder into the armrest. His words made me want to scream. There was nothing quite so frustrating as soft words being wielded like clubs. At least a straightforward attack was honest; everyone could see it for what it was. ”
—Alanik[2]
Quilan and Alanik are close in age and flew in the junior leagues together. They are now rivals, as Alanik is part of the Independence party while Quilan is a member of Unity. Alanik is angered by Quilan's diplomatic words, wishing he would be more direct.
