Moon Tao
How Moon Tao manages not to drive Maksim and Elena insane is a complete mystery, and she possesses a boundless supply of energy, rarely seeming to stop for rest. Marcus picked her up on the Fuseli as part of an arrangement with a higher-up officer to get her some work experience; Tao's natural proficiency for navigating the airways has saved many an hour on long flights. Marcus wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he has grown quite protective of Tao despite how much of a nuisance she can be.

Felonious "Kay" Pausch
Marcus met Kay shortly before departing for Islo to collect his now-retired Dauntless, the Sanguine Storm, and shortly after turning his previous mechanic over to Armada provosts for attempting to escape justice for a series of infractions. Kay's almost uncanny knack for fixing mechanical problems has turned her into one of the most vital members of the crew, and she gets on well with Marcus, and oddly Maksim, but tends to disagree with Elena, whose cold and mechanical efficiency runs directly against Kay's warm and caring intuition.

Maksim "Max" Chernov
Maksim Chernov is rumoured to be one of the few who escaped the incident that left Alpha 1 uninhabited. If he truly is, then he never speaks of it. He was hired on as a negotiator and diplomat, and his personal brand thereof consists of a very large stick, a stern look, and well-chosen words. Thanks to his large frame, very few disagree with him, and Maksim is usually present when Marcus asks his crew to accompany him into dangerous areas. Maksim gets on well with Kay, and the two make an unusual combination. He finds Tao something of a minor nuisance, and is neutral with Elena.

Clever Clemmings
As the name implies, Miss Clemmings is a highly experienced bargain hunter, and helps Marcus when he's negotiating trade deals and payments for by-the-crate 'form free' cargo missions.

Fat Riley
A second diplomat, Riley helps offset Max' imposing nature, and is the speaker of the pair.

Alma Randolf
If it weren't for the names, you'd think Alma was a clone of Kay. A new mechanic (replacing Elena), Alma is just as experienced at plane repairs as Kay is.

Elena Solovyov
Elena is a woman of few words and fewer frivolities. She has a strong accent which can make it problematic to easily understand her, as she is not very fluent in the common language. She is, however, a remarkably good shot with a rifle or pistol, and is a very skilled mechanic. Elena is frequently on radio/radar operator duty when not off fixing something - preferably far away from Kay, whom she disagrees with on a regular basis.

Marcus fired Elena after one too many disagreements with Kay leading to a minor incident in which King Six was forced to fly on only three out of four engines for roughly half an hour.
