Babylon 5/C&C staff

Question
My wife wants to know the name of the actress that plays virtually every show in C&C, in the "pit"?  Short brown hair.  She has an unusual accent and we were wondering where she was from.

Do you know where we can get info on the additional recurring staff in C&C, that do show up in the usual places?

Answer
He name was Marianne Robertson, her character was called "Tech 1," and she was in 20 episodes, all but two from the first season.  No reason was ever explicitly stated for why she left, but I used to like to say it was because she was so upset at the death of President Santiago that she quit.  That theory was blown apart when she appeared in issue #2 of the Babylon 5 comic-book, set early in season 2.

Expertise

I have extensive knowledge in the area of the central five seasons, and I am also proficent in all other canon materials (save the 'Legend of the Rangers' pilot/made-for-tv-movie).

Experience

I have seen the 'Babylon 5 Experience' (the pilot, all 5 seasons, the made-for-tv-movies, Crusade, and The Lost Tales [discounting 'LotR', as above]) so many times I have lost count, though I may be in double digits. I have read all three book trilogies (Psi-Corps, Technomage, Centauri) multiple times, the novel "The Shadow Within" and the novel 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows' twice. I have read the first of the three comic-book storylines multiple times, as well as "In Valen's Name". When I was a kid I had The Lurker's Guide & Voltayre's Encyclopedia Xenobiologica websites printed out and put in large binders and I would read them every night.
