Ed Appel was the Chief Processing Engineer at the underground pergium mining colony on Janus VI. In 2267, Appel helped to defend the settlement against an unknown "monster" that could burrow through solid rock, and was destroying machinery and killing the miners. When it was learned that the creature was an intelligent lifeform called a Horta and was, in fact, a mother protecting her eggs, Appel and the other miners reached a peaceful alliance with the creature. They would help the Mother Horta and her offspring to flourish, and the young Horta would mine the pergium at a far faster rate than the Humans could, making the miners extremely rich.[1]
