Sherland Powers is a Nexus Force Pilot NPC who is stranded on Crux Prime. Sherland Powers was piloting a Nexus Talon Dropship when he flew too close to the Maelstrom. The destructive energies of the Maelstrom surrounding Crux Prime were powerful enough to down his dropship, scattering the ship's missiles as it crash-landed in Aura Mar. Sherland Powers was quickly attacked by a group of Stromling Admiral Invaders, but managed to stay alive by smashing pieces of the Venture Koi's debris. Sherland thought he spotted a wandering chef, which gave him a craving for BBQ. Eventually, Sherland Powers made his way to Rivendark Canyon, where he took refuge under a Shield Generator.
