Van received detailed reports on all the crew, yes? I figure that includes pretty much the "background" section of the various PC characters, but what about the NPCs?
Look at me, abusing captain's priveledge already. I'm hopeless.
Yes, indeed. I was only waiting for you to access their files.
Jak Friday:
[sblock]
Species: Human
Nation of Origin: Rigunmor
Star Force Rank:
Gender: Female
Age: 60 (estimated)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120
Appearance: Blue eyes, dark brown/black hair, mixed caucasian/asian features, cybernetic left arm
History: Unknown planet of birth. Unknown parents. Jak Friday was a civilian smuggler during border conflicts after the end of GW2, operating primarily in and around VoidCorp space. She took part in a local uprising, earning a distinguished service record as a fighter pilot. After the rebellion, she emigrated to the Rigunmor Star Consortium. She was serving as a civilian engineer on board the luxuy cruise liner Princess of the Stars, which suffered a catastrophic engine failure. Over 90% of the crew and passengers (over 35,000 people) were lost. [Edit: Many famous and wealthy people died in the accident, which was well publicized across Rigunmor and possibly into other nations.] Jak Friday was indicted on charges of conspiracy and terrorism. Widespread media speculation indicated she must be a VoidCorp spy, but she was cleared of all charges. Public opinion believed that she had evaded justice.
Extremely unpopular in her own country, she petitioned to join the Galactic Concord. She was accepted and trained in the Star Force, eventually earning her own command, the CSS Deuces Wild. This ship was lost on an exploratory mission in the Verge. It was thought to be lost with all hands, but Friday resurfaced over a year later. During her court-martial, she was deemed mentally unfit for command and suffering from mild hallucinations. She was remanded and sentenced to psychological healing, and returned to duty as engineer on board the CSS Pacific at the request of Administrator Jocelyn Kara.
Notable Commendations: none
Disciplinary Actions: demoted due to loss of CSS Deuces Wild with all hands.
Skill Assessment:
Competent ranking in small arms, air and space vehicle operation, drivespace and system navigation, all ship's system operations (including communications, defenses, engineering, sensors and weapons) and technical sciences.
Training: Command training, pilot training, engineer training, systems training, personal combat training, general training.
Criminal skills: illicit business and hacking
Psychological Profile: Introverted, pragmatic, independent and anti-authority. Friday has shown evidence of creating vivid hallucinations to explain past events and failures. She appears likely to make fatal errors in judgment when given positions of authority.

Ebon:
[sblock]
Species: Mechalus
Nation of Origin: Insight
Star Force Rank:
Gender: Female
Age: 45
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 180
Appearance: Silver eyes, black hair, copious amounts of cybernetic enhancements
History: We believe Ebon is a chosen name, and that she may have been born on Mechalus Prime and emigrated to Insight. She ran away from home while young, living on various ships, probably involved in illegal activities. She was marooned on an unidentified planet, spent nearly a year there, and was later rescued by a VoidCorp survey team. She studied at a VoidCorp business academy/indoctrination college, but then she returned to Insight. She worked for a time at Modul Media Grid Analysis before being laid off due to "market pressure". She then emigrated to the Concord and was trained to join the Concord Marines.
She received pilot and powered armor infantry training, and served with distinction for several years. Then in a recent operation, her team was almost totally wiped out. Only she and one other (Dukakis Lincoln) survived. Court-martial revealed no fault, and she was reinstated at full rank.
Administrator Jocelyn Kara requested that she be assigned to the CSS Pacific as pilot. Ebon agreed to the voluntary assignment, on condition that Dukakis Lincoln also be assigned to the ship.
Notable Commendations: none
Disciplinary Actions: court-martialled for loss of team in combat operations
Skill Assessment:
Competent ranking in powered armor, direct fire weapons, small arms, air vehicle operation, computer sciences, computer operation, system navigation
Expert ranking in space vehicle operation
Training: MBA (civilian), Marine training, Powered armor combat training, zero-g training, pilot training
Criminal skills: hacking, gridrunning
Psychological Profile: Egotistical, follower, selfish. Adherent of the Inseer faith. Has developed a strong phobia to pain and blood, especially her own. Possibly this is due to the trauma of the loss of her team (she was wounded in that action). She has at times referred to herself as cursed. She has been known to violate protocol and keeps a cybernetically enhanced alien ophidian as a pet.

Dukakis Lincoln:
[sblock]
Dukakis "Duke" Lincoln:
Species: Human
Nation of Origin: Austrin-Ontis Unlimited
Star Force Rank:
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 240
Appearance: Brown eyes, short brown hair, muscular build, scar on lower left cheek
History: Dukakis Lincoln was born on the capital world of Austrin-Ontis Unlimited. He has a criminal record involving drug-running, racketeering, organized crime, and murder. He has served his sentence on a barren prison/mining community owned by his father.
He graduated from the Menora Artis Academy of Secrets, a prestigious mindwalker institution whose adherents are trained in psionic storage and retrieval of information. [Edit: experts of this tradition are supposed to be able to store secrets that they don't even know, and cannot divulge their information to any but the intended target]
He spent an undisclosed amount of time among an unknown alien species, and has unidentified alien DNA in his bio-engineered lungs. Records indicate that his lungs were damaged in childhood, and that this may have been some kind of treatment. He claims no memory of the time spent with the aliens, and the alien's location has not been determined.
He joined the Concord Marines three years ago, and has served with distinction until his team was all killed in a recent action against unknown alien agressors. Subsequent court-martial revealed that he turned on his companions in battle and killed most of them. Psychic evaluation confirms he has no memory of the incident. His court-martial sentenced him to 60 years hard labor and psionic re-configurement.
Administrator Jocelyn Kara requested that he be pardoned and assigned to the CSS Pacific.
Notable Commendations: none
Disciplinary Actions: court-martialled for loss of team in combat operations. Found guilty of desertion and treachery in face of combat. Pardoned from disciplinary action at request of Administrator Jocelyn Kara.
