One of the oldest members of the [[ic:astrian_culture#Divine_Nova_Triage|Divine Nova Triage]], Minoka has been the High Priestess of the School of Knowledge for over 60 years. She mothered five children, two of which later joined the Triage. A mother, grandmother and even a great grandmother, she has lived a long and full life. She knows a great many things, from history to science, engineering to social studies. She was a wise person from a young age and growing older has only increased that wisdom. Joining the School of Knowledge at the age of 16, she was highly inquisitive and curious. She was one of the first Astrians to volunteer for the first beta test of cybernetic implants and while heterosexual herself she was a strong supporter of the Astrian's same-sex reproduction program in it's early days. She was also the very first Astrian to be designated as a 'full cyborg'. She became a Lady-Priestess at the age of 35, less then a year after her first child was born. Her partner was a man from outside the Triage. Her other four children where also from this man, the last being born when she was 46. The records of her last child are sealed and very little is known about him or her. At Minoka's fiftieth birthday her partner died. Eight years later she became the High Priestess of the School of Knowledge and took the name Minoka, that means 'Dead wisdom'.

Minoka is one on the main reasons the Divine Nova Triage has a lot of influence in public opinion. She has consistently shown to know exactly what is going on and her view points are highly rational and often thought through to long term consequences. She is known to have a relationship of an unknown nature with the Traveller Shadow of War. Being a full cyborg she doesn't look her age, but she does use a cane to support herself and for walking. A sister of the School of Knowledge described her as: "Blessed with the knowledge and wisdom of a Goddess, there is no one more worthy of being Lianee's representative."
