Beautiful female starship captain in a gritty realistic sci-fi universe inspired by The Expanse. Strong and athletic build, determined expression, sharp eyes showing leadership under pressure. Wearing practical belter/UNN/MCRN-inspired starship uniform, dark tactical jumpsuit with utility harness, subtle patches and insignia, sidearm holstered. Tied-back hair, no-nonsense style. Standing on the bridge of a starship, narrow corridors, glowing control panels, exposed piping, zero-g straps and railings. Background of outer space through reinforced windows, stars and distant asteroids. Ultra-realistic hard sci-fi art, highly detailed, cinematic dramatic lighting, tense and commanding atmosphere.
