Penna Garai
Hettienne Adu
Gill Bautista
Cyrano de Paz
Marcy Schreiber
Nuri Qasim
Hildebrand Thoroughgood
Jingfei Ming
Renu Varma

Members of the Galactic Seven: Representatives of the Coalition of Planets

Tom Farrenger, commander
Terrence Farrenger, navigator
Todd "Spider" Wills, computer tech
Stratton Jones, electronic tech
Mike Arrignton, engineering tech
Dexter Thompson, mission cordinator/weapon tech I
Taj Mahajan, weapons tech II

Enemies:

Saiphians--humanoids that inhabit their home star Saiph and contro several other systems. They had been led by the overlord Lotrell until his death by the Galactic Seven. His son, Kevar, has assumed the leader position.

Thubians--warring lizard-like creatures that inhabit a few star systems near their home world. They have made little impact in the galaxy and sometimes help other groups fight against the Coaliton of Planets. Very few people that have met them, though, have survived to tell about them.

Jarek Orch--race uncertain, but is believed by some to be from Earth. He created a weapon so massive that is can destroy a small planet. The weapon, called Cygnus, is more that a weapon, it is so powerful it can affect the time-line and can be used as a time machine. Though, this is only a theory.

Am I the only one who has a bizarrely small cast? It's my turn.

Jared - the narrator
Eloise (Ellie) - the antag
Stanwick (Stan) - the cat
Shy (Shmyer) - the girl who died before ch1

That's it.
