Main Characters

	Kari Tyrell Kari is an ace fighter-pilot, legendary throughout the Republic for turning the tide at the Battle of Whiterim. Only twenty-three years old, she is the youngest pilot ever to achieve the rank of Commander. Kari's assignment on the Republic frigate Danzig ended when the frigate was destroyed by an Alliance ambush. Kari was rescued from certain death by the crew of Niobe and has now joined them. First appearance: Page 00.01
	Vaegyr Ward Vaegyr is the captain of Niobe. Having run away from both his family and his homeworld as a teenager, he spent several years jumping from one ship to another, doing whatever jobs were available and learning much along the way. How he came to be the sole owner of Niobe is a mystery, but he always grins slyly when the question is raised. First appearance: Page 01.01
	Daniel Qian Twenty-five years old, Daniel joined Niobe as ship’s medic after leaving a lucrative practice on the Republic world of Gaidana. An evangelical Christian, he has a reputation for being something of a ‘Bible basher’. He does not seem to mind the characterisation. First appearance: Page 01.02
	Larissa Ward As well as being Niobe’s pilot, Larissa is also married to her captain, Vaegyr. Formerly trained by the R.A.S.F. to pilot corvette-class starships, Larissa has not revealed why she did not pursue a career in the military. First appearance: Page 01.01
	Whisper Whisper has never divulged her real name, or even admitted that she has one. Though playful and talkative, she never speaks about her life before Niobe. Her augmentations are extensive, covering most of her body, and she is Niobe’s expert on augmentation and cybernetics. No-one really knows what extra abilities her augmentations might grant her. First appearance: Page 01.02
	Hal Grisdale Hal is an exceptionally talented engineer who seems to have had some formal military training in addition to his aborted engineering degree from Tau Ceti University. He boasts an ocular augmentation which gives advanced targeting and range-finding abilities. Hal is loved by all women, at least that’s how he reports it – actual evidence suggests otherwise. First appearance: Page 01.01

Other Characters

	Sarah (Control) Sarah is the Controller for Espenson Station, and as such is normally referred to as "Control" when she is on duty. Once a crewmember aboard Niobe, she still keeps in touch with Vaegyr Ward whenever the opportunity arises. First appearance: Page 02.02
	Commodore Adelaide Pearson Commodore Pearson is the commanding officer assigned to Espenson Station. Though nominally responsible for the station's military aspects, she is often called upon to adjudicate civilian matters as well. Pearson is quite prepared to bend the law given the right circumstances, but is fervantly loyal to the Republic. First appearance: Page 02.26
	Mr Creed Mr Creed is Commodore Pearson's personal assistant, private seceratary and all-round point-man. He is a stickler for proper procedure and, though generally amiable, has a tendency to irritate those who don't conform to his standards. First appearance: Page 02.27
	Sapphira Elected as Arbitrator of the Creer Syndicate by the seven families (in a vote split 4/3), Sapphira's main role is to stop the families from tearing each to pieces.

	Antony Antony is Sapphira's body-man, carrying our most of her wet-work. If Sapphira trusts anyone at all (which is widely doubted), then she trusts Antony. His augs allow him to discharge a lare, potentially fatal amount of energy into a person's body on contact. First appearance: Page 05.02
	Michael Vrae Captain of the independant freighter Katherine's Glance, Vrae is primarily a free-trader, but is willing to take on supply contracts with the Cirin Military.
