Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).
Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.
In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers' strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.
The same year, with the help of Ecuador's Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

Should have bought long range scanners. They're only 30 bucks.
I'm not completely serious of course, that game is full of random bullshit. But there is actually a bunch of stuff that can be done to avoid risky situations. For example, you can delay your first salvo right before the ion storm so it hits when the enemy shields are disabled. Or you can put two Zoltan into the shield room: Zoltan powered systems are immune to ion damage and you'll retain one shield. If you have more shields the ion damage to your other systems will be less, I think. Probably more stuff I'm not thinking of. There's a ton of micro-management and strategy that can be done to mitigate risk. There are people who have very large winning streaks on hard mode with random ships. And some of those ships are straight up garbage.
