History
Little is known of Meredith Argent's history, but it is known that she was rich (she was the money behind AAAI) and that she and Mic Turner were life long friends.
Turner's Death
The death of Mic Turner was at tragic blow for Meredith Argent. Not only was Mic her longest, closest friend, but he was killed by INRA doing what he loved best; exploring.
Meredith sent her aide, Jo Merion to retrieve Mic Turner's body and Stow master Capsule, but her attempt was blunted by INRA
In the meantime, she and the board of the New Rossyth Shipyard organised a requiem for Mic Turner, which took place at Fortress Culloden on Argent's Claim.
Meredith could not let her old friend's memory end with an incomplete mission. She sent out her own Argent's Quest and an unknown pilot to complete Mic's mission to restablish contact with the Thargoids race.
