'''Vek Tollin''' is a Prosian engineer, co-founder, and Chief Engineer of the ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]''.
Formerly an Alliance propulsion specialist, Tollin became a pioneer of mixed-culture engineering—combining Prosian harmonic field theory with Alliance plasma-core mechanics.
He is best known for locating and rebuilding the **Meras Phase Drive**, helping Captain [[Elan Drex]] transform two derelict hulls into the ship that would later found the [[Scavenger Fleet]].

----

== Early Career ==
Born on Prose during the closing years of the Tonan conflict, Tollin apprenticed in reactor maintenance for the **Alliance Defense Fleet (ADF)** and earned his reactor-technician tattoo—the sigil he never removed.
His early work focused on containment-field symmetry and harmonic balancing for heavy transports.
By mid-career he served as **Bridge Engineer** aboard Drex’s previous command, the ''[[SS Rona (AS-1052)]]''.

----

== Partnership with Elan Drex ==
Following the Altair incident and Drex’s forced retirement, Tollin left the ADF in protest.
Pooling their savings, the two purchased surplus hulls and a **decommissioned experimental Phase Drive**.
Tollin performed the rebuild personally, integrating the drive’s **Spacetime Phase Resonance Core** into a new frame assembled above Prose.
His line to Drex—*“You get me a hull, and I’ll get you a core that sings”*—became part of Scavenger lore:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

----

== Aboard the ''Scavenger'' ==
Tollin served as **Chief Engineer** and later **Systems Director** of the Scavenger Fleet.
He was responsible for drive-field stability, reactor design, and much of the ship’s self-repair architecture.
Known for pacing the engine deck “listening” to the machinery, he claimed to sense harmonic imbalance before diagnostics registered it.
During *[[The Phoenix from the Scrapyard]]*, he recovered and rebuilt Dr. Meras’s drive core, creating the first safe **high-frequency Phase Drive**.

----

== Later Work ==
By the time of *[[Story 10: Joining the Lanes]]*, Tollin co-developed **Harmony Lock I**, the synchronization algorithm that stabilized the [[Star Naming System (SNS)]] beacons.
His designs became fundamental to interstellar navigation under the Prosian Merchant Corps.

----

== Personality ==
Gruff, loyal, and unpretentious, Tollin values results over rhetoric.
He rarely speaks of faith yet lives by the Prosian ideal of *work as flow*—that purpose reveals itself through craft.
Drex once described him as *“the engine’s conscience.”*

----

== Quotes ==
> “You get me a hull, and I’ll get you a core that sings.”
> “Engines don’t lie. They hum the truth if you listen.”
> “Harmony isn’t peace—it’s precision.”
