History
Syralla was actually brought online in 2295 shortly before the death of Harry Mudd. Syralla was physically styles after Harry Mudd’s first love Mary McDonnell, in one of his many moments of nostalgia.
In the 30 years of his arrival, Mudd made many suggestions to improve the physical presentation and personalities of the androids. By the time of his death, the androids were so human-like that they were indistinguishable from them. Essentially they make Data look like a wind-up toy in comparison.
Each android is equipped with an internal communications system that allows them to converse over incredible distances. Highly sensitive sensors and neural systems allow them to break down information at unbelievable speeds.
Through the years since Mudd’s death, the android governing council has sent many of their number to distant planets to investigate the societies of the different species. They have worked hard to merge with their host cultures, and have never been discovered in their ruses.
Syralla actually worked for the previous owner of the Farscape and when the ship changed hands, she remained aboard. Her mission continues to be; observe and report.
She has the body of an Orion slave-woman with a talent for communications equipment; after all she hides her real abilities under a veneer of beauty that clouds the mind of the men who surround her. Amazingly though, she always seems to come up with the solution that no one else can think up.
