First bred in orbiting space habitats before the invention of Hyperdrive, Spacers (also called Belters) continue to thrive in space stations, asteroid colonies, orbital habitats, and other zero-G environments. The Spacer population in the Empire is just under 10 billion. Weptish's home station is an asteroid base called Tressle. Weptish is an incorrigible tinkerer, and given half a chance will have any available equipment in pieces so that he can see how it works. He can almost always get them back together though. Weptish is Mister Fix-It; given a little time and the right tools, he can fix almost anything that's broken. He can build things from scratch as well; show him a coffee-maker, an electric eggbeater and a pocket calculator, and he'll build you deep-scanning radar. He's a prodigy with machines of almost any sort. What almost nobody knows -- in fact, he hardly knows it himself -- is that his skill with machinery is a psionic ability similar to precognition. He's also a crack shot with a laser pistol. Created and trained to spend their entire lives in space, Spacers have bones and muscles engineered not to weaken in zero gravity, increased resistance to radiation, lungs designed to handle low pressures, and toes as dextrous as fingers. However, their bodies do not handle normal gravity very well; to a Spacer, walking on the surface of a planet feels like dragging themselves uphill through a thick, soupy atmosphere.

Stranded on planet Cordwainer when the ship was impounded (and later destroyed by person or persons unknown). Met K'pok when employed by Panderjack Mining Co. to rescue some of their staff taken hostage in the course of an acrimonious industrial dispute. Arrested and interrogated by TSS in the course of that operation, but released a few weeks later. Eventually left Cordwainer in K'pok's ship along with K'pok, Jek and Kappo.

Native Language Weptish has always been good with his hands -- all four of them. Few people realise however that the reason he's so good with machines is because he has a psionic intuitive empathy with them.
