Julia, a powerful biotic, and her boyfriend, Jacob, both served as crewmembers on the MSV Worthington in 2183. Sometime during normal operation, Jacob was exposed to space for too long, resulting in brain death.
Struggling to cope with the incident, Julia strongly opposed the crew's suggestion to turn his life-support machines off. The ship's doctor, Smith, and the captain gave Julia some calming meds and planned to shut down the machines keeping Jacob alive in a vegetative state. Julia didn't take the meds, however, but ended up killing every crewmember on the ship — notably the captain while he was recording the events in the ship's journal — and booby-trapped the cargo bay of the vessel. With no crew to pilot it, the ship is left adrift off the orbit of Antiroprus.
The freighter can be found and boarded by Commander Shepard and the squad. Even with people around she conceals herself until the last possible moment, when either the visitors discover her story through logs or after Jacob's life support is shut down. She desperately charges the group, but is killed in the process.
Tactics
- Julia has moderate health and 2 to 3 bars of shielding. Although her shielding regenerates, her health doesn't, unlike for example Pirates and Mercenaries.
- She starts the battle equipped with a shotgun, but switches to a pistol once she has fired Carnage. The pistol has a particularly high rate of fire associated with Marksman.
- Julia tends to latch on a single target and aggressively stay within melee range like a charging krogan, providing numerous opportunities to knock her down.
- Sabotage and Damping can prevent her from firing or using biotics. If you close the door before listening to the final log, Julia can't enter until you open it yourself, giving you ample opportunity to position Tech proximity mines in the doorway. With more than one tech user in the squad, it is possible to kill her without firing a single shot.
