m (Changed the sidequote sizes to make them look nicer, tho imo they are too long. It would be better to quote less of that directly and instead summarize most of it in the body of the text.) |
m (A couple of wording changes where there's repetition at the start of sentences and to get pronouns to fit a bit better. Looking good!) |

Cuna is a nonaggressive dione, like most of the other races of primary intelligence in the Superiority. Cuna is cold and calculating, analyzing everything people say, which makes them a skilled politician and an excellent schemer.{{book ref|sky2|13}} They are quite smart, engaged in a power struggle with [[Winzik]] and the Department of Protective Services. Cuna is also quite caring and affectionate, trying to smile at Spensa, a non-dione facial expression, to be welcoming and make her species' transition to Superiority life as smooth and comfortable as possible.{{book ref|sky2|34}}
Although Cuna publicly holds the common Superiority view that aggressive species should not be deemed of primary intelligence, they are more tolerant than many of their colleagues, believing that there is room in the Superiority for species of different
== History ==
Cuna and Winzik created the Delver Resistance Program together, Cuna doing it to convince the [[Superiority]] races of primary intelligence that there was value in having more aggressive races in their society, while Winzik' motivation was to provide himself with a fleet of starfighters so he could control the Superiority.{{book ref|sky2|34}}
Cuna arranged for [[Vapor]] to watch Winzik, suspicious of his motives in creating the Delver Resistance Program.{{book ref|sky2|34
Cuna first met [[Spensa]] when [[M-Bot]] landed in Starsight's docking bay. Cuna then told Spensa they were glad to meet her, as it had been at their personal request that the Superiority reach out to the [[UrDail]]. Cuna told Spensa that they had reached out to the UrDail in hopes that they would send pilots to the Superiority's new Delver Resistance Program. Their hope was that if Spensa's training went well, then more UrDail pilots could come to the Superiority and hopefully earn their race secondary Superiority citizenship.
Cuna led Spensa to the UrDail embassy, on the way explaining the danger of having [[cytonic|cytonics]] around, but told her that the Superiority needed aggressive pilots to use a superweapon prepared specifically to combat the delvers.

Cuna stepped in front of Spensa as Winzik and Brade approached the embassy. Winzik apologized for the miscommunication of the Superiority Departments, then ushered the group inside the embassy. After arguing with Winzik about Alanik's certification, Cuna told Spensa that Winzik was the head of the Department of Protective Services and that
Cuna also arranged for the UrDail embassy to have communication privileges, enabling Spensa to communicate with the UrDail on [[ReDawn]].{{book ref|sky2|13}}

|Perhaps it is foolish imagining, but I saw in my mind's eye the day when a delver might come - and a person like you, or the kitsen, or some other species saved us. I saw a change in my people, a moment when they began to realize that some aggression is useful.

Cuna approached Spensa after her conversation with Winzik on the mining platform being used for the Delver Resistance Program tryout and asked her if Winzik had tried to talk her out of trying out. Spensa said yes, and then asked again why the Superiority didn't want aggressive pilots. Cuna told her there was a delicate balance, and then
Cuna entered the UrDail embassy to clear up any miscommunications about Mrs. Chamwit and her assistant cleaning the embassy. After this, they talked with Spensa about the UrDail's alliance with the humans in the third human war, and the human's delver weaponization programs begun during the second human war.{{book ref|sky2|19}} Spensa then asked Cuna if the true purpose of the Delver Resistance Program was to combat the humans should they escape their prisons. Cuna told her that the human were not truly close to escaping, and that
Periodically throughout Spensa's time in the Delver Resistance Program, Cuna sent her messages asking for updates on her training. Most of the time, Spensa either didn't respond or had M-Bot send a generic response.{{book ref|sky2|27}}
After Spensa and Brade tested the superweapon in the delver maze's membrane, Cuna was present at the party aboard the [[Weights and Measures]]. Cuna and Winzik had a standoff during a conversation at the party, after Cuna asked Winzik what his plans for the the force he'd trained were, now that they were ready to fight, but had no enemies. Cuna's suspicions about Winzik planning to use the superweapon to send a confronted delver to the human preserve on Detritus were confirmed after Brade and Spensa's success.{{book ref|sky2|32}}

|You may choose not to believe it, Alanik, but my entire '''purpose''' has been to change the way my people view other species. Once the secret of hyperdrives escapes our grasp, we will need something new to keep us together. We won't be able to rely on our monopoly on travel. We need to be able to offer something else.

Cuna and Spensa watched the espionage drone's video footage, then Cuna told Spensa
Cuna remained on Starsight when Winzik and the Department of Protective Services deployed the Delver Resistance Program to Detritus. When they saw the delver approaching Starsight, they sent Zezin away, hoping they would have a chance to save some of the station's inhabitants and thwart Winzik's further plans. After sending them away, Cuna noticed a group of starfighters appear, flying straight toward the delver.{{book ref|sky2|i|3}}
