Norma Cenva
A researcher who changes the limits of technology during the Jihad.
Overview
The chronology in The Machine Crusade states that Norma improved Holtzman shields in 196 Before Guild. Overheating is not entirely eliminated, but the improvement is still significant during the war.
Place in the universe
This example shows that fighting machines does not mean rejecting all technology. Human survival makes the line between forbidden technology and necessary technology a constant subject of debate.
