Who is Naomi Nagata in The Expanse?

The engineer with a Belter's past · Crew of the Rocinante

Naomi Nagata (The engineer with a Belter's past) is a character in The Expanse, part of Crew of the Rocinante. Naomi Nagata can fix anything flying and a few things that shouldn't: the Canterbury's brilliant Belter engineer, whose competence is so total it reads as effortless.
