(PC) denotes Player Character

APONE: Marine sergeant. Master of motivating men. Mortar gunner. Originator of the phrase, “Another glorious day in the Corps! Day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!”

AZUNDERKAR: Chief Engineer. Andorian. Likes to fiddle with gadgets. (PC)

BADER, DOUGLAS: Fighter pilot. Has no legs, but can shoot down anything. Has 9 kills. Correct but distant, or in other words, English.

BOONE, MARCUS: Marine from a wilderness planet. Grew up “back of beyond” where he hunted and trapped for his dinner. Scout/sniper in the Federation Marine Corps.

CHAN, WINSTON S. Supply officer. Skeptical and impassive. Used to having his gear returned in burned, acid-scarred, bent, or atomically destabilized condition.

CHIEF TYROL: Flight deck chief; keeps the shuttles running. Supervises 40 people in Flight Ops. Natural leader of workmen, but has refused officer training.

CHURKIN: Eager Russian transporter operator with a thick accent. Has pulled off some mighty slick transporter saves.

CIDELLA, HELEN: Chemist who joined Starfleet after teaching and corporate research. Was executive officer on USS FARRAGUT, referred to there and here as “Number One.”

DRAKE: Marine Corporal, smartgunner. Has “born to kill” tattoo on biceps, always working out. A bit trigger-happy.

GAETA: Computer systems officer and sensor tech. Saturnine and cynical.

GREZELDA: Pakled engineering novice. Pakleds have a reputation for being stupid, so she tries extra hard. But she has no experience, so trying extra hard isn’t always enough.

HANNAH WESTON: Chief Science Officer. A Betazoid without empathic powers, she comes across as quite empathetic to humans but was crippled on Betazed. Commanded USS FEARLESS, an alleged science ship, and racked up four kills in the War of the Last Slaver. (PC)

HICKS, DWAYNE: Marine Corporal. Stays frosty, falls asleep during combat drops. Unit armorer, which in milspeak means “weapon repairman.”

HRUNDING: Torpedoman. Stubborn, outspoken. From Wunderland, which was occupied for fifty years by the Kzinti; therefore, little inclined to trust Kzinti.

HUDSON: Marine Tech. Excitable, boastful, prone to despair. “That’s it, game over, man! Game over! I was gettin’ short … four more weeks an’ out … now I’m gonna buy it on this rock … it ain’t half fair, man!”

M: Primary care physician with frighteningly huge eyes. Ultrasonic hearing, forceful bedside manner.

SKAVRIN: Tellarite engineering ensign. Geologist and metallurgist, inclined to helpfully correct others’ misstatements of fact.

SOJAT: Vulcan physicist. Struggles to relate starship situations to lab results, which are more controllable. Does not understand human emotions, even for a Vulcan. Limited psychic ability.
