Rule 5 Saturday - Out of the Expanse - Cara Gee

Late last week I finally finished season 5 of The Expanse, the formerly Sci-Fi, then Amazon Prime series based on the books by James S.A. Corey (a pseudonym for two other writers). The Expanse has already provided one Rule 5 winner, Frankie Adams. 

In the Expanse, Cara Gee plays the hardest woman in the known universe, belter (as in asteroid belt) Camina Drummer:

Cammina Drummer is a strong-willed, pragmatic, and no-nonsense Belter captain. Having a strong connection to her roots and her cultural identity, Drummer is a Belter through and through: She is resilient and adaptable, treats her crew with respect and equality, and is committed to the Belter way of life, which involves hard work, communal life shared with others, and not taking anything for granted. Having grown up without a stable government, but instead observing the numerous OPA factions govern themselves with their own independent rules and coexisting in a chaotic whole, Drummer values the diversity and individuality of the Belter people, and likes to preserve it, as she is against such things as uniforms or the concept of the Belt as a unified nation with only one supreme leader.
