Sata

Sata is an alien Space Knight from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Rage against the machine.

The four-armed Sata is a young Space Knight cadet in the service of the Solstar Order. Though slightly more down-to-earth than her fellow cadet Auxin, Sata shares Auxin's distaste for working alongside Cybertronian cadet Stardrive, believing "the machine" lacks the necessary attributes to become a worthy Space Knight.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Sata and Auxin were deployed to Mining Colony 25-6-41 alongside senior Knights Rom and Livia to investigate reports of a Dire Wraith infestation. She remained on the ship while Auxin accompanied the full-fledged Knights to the planetoid. The Knights returned to their ship with Stardrive, who had earned the ire of Auxin for interfering with his first Wratih kill.

En route to Orchid Crossing to meet with the Galactic Council, the two cadets continued to snipe at Stardrive as they arrived. The next morning, the five Knights made contact with the Council embassy - only to learn that they had been lured into a trap by a Dire Wraith-Decepticon alliance. Sata watched in horror as Auxin perished at Astrotrain's hands. She attacked Astrotrain to try and avenge her friend only for Thrust to remove her. Shining Armor #1

After the Autobots arrived, Sata watched in horror as Sky Blast and a Dire Wraith merged into an ungodly fusion that began destroying all. Ultra Magnus then disabled the station's forcefield condemning it and all aboard to a fiery death in an attempt to kill the hybrid monster and Sata joined her commanders in escaping into the skies of Xetaxxis. They caught up with Stardrive with Rom knocking Ultra Magnus into stasis and offering Bumblebee a chance to surrender. Shining Armor #2

Notes

• In keeping with Rom's name being derived from read-only memory, Stardrive's fellow cadets also have names taken from computer terminology. Sata is a punny name derived from serial ATA, or "SATA", computer interfaces.
