Lt. Meyers:
First mentioned in the final post of the second archive, Meyers showed great exhuberance toward Darkfox after the VAXMigrator was saved from a collision course with an asteroid field. Her actual position was established during the battle at Kimmeron, where she led a security team to take the bridge of the St. Helens from Admiral Nimitz. She is currently the acting security chief on board VAXMigrator.

Commander Powers:
Powers seems to have always been aboard the VAXMigrator, acting as executive officer under Data during the reconstruction period up through the battle against Nimitz. Powers has held positions as helm, security, operations, tactics, and engineering. Most recently, he is attributed with the responsibility of commanding the space marine companies in the forceful take-over of the St. Helens from Admiral Nimitz. Powers is a loyal bridge officer, and serves the Terran Confederation without question.

Commander Richards:
Given command of the Talona while at Saturn's Rings starbase, Richards is a compassionate leader who puts the needs of his crew above all else. He is a strong commander, even though this is only his first command. He is a loyal officer with the best interests of the Terran Confederation in mind. He played a vital role in de-railing the insane plans of Captain Harris, as well as rescuing Dr. Samuel Jarrah and lending his support to the VAXMigrator. He aided the VAXMigrator by assisting in the linking of the 2 mighty ships for a more efficient usage of power and weapons. During the battle with Admiral Nimitz, Richards and his crew were transferred to the VAXMigrator, and the Talona was destroyed. He is presently the ranking officer on the bridge of the VAXMigrator, assisting in the deployment of space marines and the repairs on the now-linked VAXMigrator and St. Helens.

Lt. Colonel Jayce Brilliam:
Callsign Raptor, Jayce is a starfighter pilot with the Terran Confederation. He used to fly with the legendary Wraith Squadron--a black ops squadron led by Greyfox himself. Jayce has no idea that Admiral Nimitz was in charge of the project or that then-admiral Harris was the intelligence officer. When the squadron was destroyed 10 years ago in a paradox-rift orchestrated by Nimitz, Jayce was the only survivor. He underwent a court-marshall, a demotion, and a transfer to Earth Defense Force. When he unwittingly thwarted a cylon sneak-attack on Earth, Admiral Nimitz reinstated him to active flight duty and assigned him to Flight Group Orion, which was to be transferred from the Talona to the VAXMigrator. He was given command of a squadron, as well as the position of operations officer for the entire fighter wing. He played an essential role during the Stymie attack on Jupiter-2, the assault on the hidden cylon base in the asteroid field, and most recently, the battle at Kimerron against Admiral Nimitz. Jayce is an excellent pilot, has good orginizational skills, and sharp reflexes. He is most often seen with his squadron-mates in the recreational lounges or flight-simulators (when they aren't in flight).

Major Sonya Blade:
Revived from Cryo-sleep aboard the VAXMigrator during its first mission, Sonya Blade advanced fast through the ranks. Previously a member of the US Military, and defender of Earth during the famed Mortal Kombat tournaments, Sonya eventually settled on LEV World where she met the man of her dreams, Hamato Spiffigitsu, master of the Black Arts. Years passed, but the stars called again, and when the VAXMigrator was at last restored, Sonya left LEV World to join the crew and fulfill her duty as navigations officer.
Sonya is also an excellent fighter-pilot - her skills tested fully in VAXMigrator's battle against the Cylons.

Major Todd Marshall:
Callsign Maniac, Maj. Marshall is a loud, obnoxious, self-centered ego-maniac. When he flies he is wreckless, insubordinate, and a glory-seeker. Although he is an exceptional pilot, he still will never admit that luck has anything to do with his survival thus far. Maj. Marshall graduated from ConFed Flight Academy at the top of his class--which happens to be the same class as Lt. Col. Jayce Brilliam. Maj. Marshall's final simulator score was 3 points higher than Brilliam's, only because Marshall filled Brilliam's flight helmet with shaving cream on the day of the final.
Maniac still claims he's a better pilot, and will never miss an opportunity to 'rub it in'. Maniac can mostly be found during his off hours in the flight sims, or the recreation lounges--playing cards with Vagabond or hitting on the female crewmembers.

Colonel Amanda Stevens:
Callsign Quicksilver, Col. Stevens is the Wing Commander of Flight Group Orion. She is a compassionate leader, valuing her pilots' lives more than the million-credit machines they fly. She is a strict but fair disciplinarian, as well as an exceptional pilot. She played a pivotal role in the battle with the Cylons in the asteroid belt, as well as the battle for Kimerron against Admiral Nimitz. Col. Stevens graduated ConFed Flight Academy 2 years before Maniac & Raptor, and has served in front-line combat against the cylons ever since. She has an intimate knowledge of cylon combat tactics and technologies.

Captain Winston Chang:
Callsign Vagabond, Captain Chan has served in the ConFed fighter corps for the last 6 years. Before that, his military record is blank--not even personal references or entries. Rumor has it that Vagabond once served in Black Ops, which would explain the black-out of any information concerning his first 4 years in ConFed. Vagabond is a loyal wingman, an exceptional pilot, and a habitual gambler. He's never without a deck of playing cards, and will never shy away from a challenger. He is currently the undefeated poker champion on every ship he's ever served on--and there have been many. His longest stay on any ship with any squadron has been 8 months--and it has been with Flight Group Orion. Vagabond played an instrumental role in the destruction of the hidden cylon base in the asteroid field, as well as rescue Lt. Sonya Blade from the shell of the destroyed Ajax during the battle for Kimerron.

Lt. Colonel Lance Iverson:
Colonel Iverson is the commander of the Colonial Marine detachment on board VAXMigrator. His unit was transferred from the Talona, after concluding a 1-year tour of duty. His detachment consists of 3, 150-man companies, each led by a major. Each company consists of 4 platoons of approximately 35 marines. Platoons are led by a captain with the assistance of between 1 and 4 lieutenants. Usually, these platoons are broken down further into tactical operations squads of between 5 and 10 marines. These squads are led by either lieutenants or sergeants.
Most recently, Col. Iverson played a significant role in the taking of the St. Helens from Admiral Nimitz's control.

Admiral Kraken:
Vice-Admiral Zachary Kraken had a long, distinguished record serving the Terran Confederation. He fought in the Cylon War, having graduated from military academy 2 years after Admiral Nimitz. He was instrumental in the re-taking of Novis 7, a colony in the Union of Border Worlds which was overrun by cylons. When the new Vesuvius class dreadnoughts were put into action, Kraken was the first commander considered. While commanding the Vesuvius and her escort fleet, Kraken made significant gains in the war with the cylons, eventually pushing them out of Terran Space completely.
Admiral Kraken, not willing to lose momentum, pursued the cylons into their own territory, and actually re-claimed enslaved systems from the unjust rule of the cylons. He expanded the frontier territory of the Terran Confederation some 35 light years into cylon space. He was then recalled from this most successful campaign for an escort/resupply mission for the VAXMigrator, and afterwards some much-needed shore leave.
Admiral Kraken died aboard the Vesuvius, after playing an instrumental role in the battle for the asteroid field, as well as against both Harris and Nimitz in the Kimerron system. He went down fighting, stubbornly staying aboard the Vesuvius even as it fell apart around him under the concentrated fire of nearly 5 ships, as well as kamikaze fighters. He did, however, manage to inflict severe damage to the St. Helens, as well as several escorts, and bought enough time for VAXMigrator to make her move. He also was responsible for the majority of his crew surviving.

Commander Data:
Data, the android, originated long ago from the USS Enterprise, but through unknown circumstances came to be transplanted eventually, to the crew of the VAXMigrator. Data teamed up with Einstein to save the crew of the VAXMigrator as the vessel went critical during the first paradox - the VAXMigrator crashed on LEV-World as a result. Data then headed the effort to restore the vessel which, with limited resources, took a number of years. At last, the vessel was spaceworthy once again, and this time Data, as the seniormost member of the crew, took the helm as Captain. In later times, Data would be killed by Nimitz - victim of a malicious cascade virus of Nimitz' own design.

Commander Riley:
Commander Gregory Riley is Admiral Kraken's executive officer on board Vesuvius. While his record shows him to be a competent bridge officer as well as a loyal crew-man, nothing else exemplary comes to the forefront. Cmdr. Riley's moment of glory came about in the conflict with Admiral Nimitz, where he was ordered by Nimitz to arrest Kraken and open fire on VAXMigrator. Riley, assessing the situation, launched 12 torpedoes at the St. Helens, thus sealing the fate of Vesuvius.
Commander Riley died while in a transport shuttle making its way toward VAXMigrator, after Nimitz had begun firing on the evacuating craft from Vesuvius.

Major Henries:
Major James Taggart Henries is a company commander with the 5th Colonial Marine Brigade, stationed on board VAXMigrator. He played a pivotal role in the assault against the St. Helens, leading the deployment of the marines, as well as playing key roles in the taking of both engineering and the bridge of Nimitz's flagship. Maj. Henries is a strong battlefield tactician, as well as an inspirational leader.

Captain Harris:
Captain Alexander Harris has always had a history of mental instability. He barely passed his initial psych. exam when graduating Academy. His record was appended "Unfit for combat command." He did, however, have a keen intellect, and thus rose up in ranks within the intelligence department to that of admiral. Admiral Nimitz, already in command of Black Ops, enlisted the aide of Admiral Harris as intelligence officer for his new top-secret fighter squadron. After the paradox-rift destroyed the squadron, Harris was blamed for faulty intelligence, and demoted to captain. He was also transferred into ConFed Naval Reserve, where he served as chief records-keeper for the Jupiter-2 observation post. Harris often suffered from episodes of acute paranoia, as well as self-aggrandizing, delusional behavior.
Captain Harris was later ordered by Admiral Nimitz to 'accompany' the Talona on her mission to resupply VAXMigrator, at which time he was to assume command of the Battlestar. Harris, being unable to mentally cope with the stress of combat situations, eventually went completely insane, resulting in his own death, as well as crippling damage to the Talona.

Ensign Lal:
Lal is Data's daughter. Long ago, Lal was an android, but she died as a result of a cascade failure. Data, heartbroken, stored all of Lal's memories and personality deep in the recesses of his positronic brain. In an attempt to repair an error with the Dimension 5 Gateway Device (Dim5 G-Dev) Data transferred her mind into the computer. In a bizarre accident, Lal actually reconstituted herself as a hologram, and with the gift of a holo-emitter from the Doctor, she is now able to move freely from location to location. For bravery during the battle with Captain Harris, Lal was promoted to the rank of Ensign and transferred to the Vesuvius in service of Admiral Kraken, where she served during the Black Hawk attack.

Admiral Jayson Lynxor:
Admiral Lynxor is the current commander of the Battlestar VAXMigrator. He rose to the rank of admiral while serving in the fighter corps, and then in the Black Ops division. His personal past is shrouded in mystery--as is much of his military record--but it is known that he keeps a rather extensive personal log. His former military commands included squadron command of Wraith Squadron, command of the dreadnought Nemesis in the Enigma Quadrant, as well as former command of the VAXMigrator on its last mission.
While flying with Wraith Squadron, he used the callsign Greyfox. He was Admiral Nimitz's personal protege, rising quickly through rank after graduating Academy at the top of his class, even beating Nimitz's record-high scores. He excelled at engineering, physics, tactics, and psychology, and had superior reflexes and sharp senses--all of which being the result of his genetic closeness to 'The One' being... He is a genetic-near miss, in fact, the closest one known to date.
During the time he served with Wraith Squadron, Nimitz decided to 'test' his own theories on temporal disturbance, and had the squadron initiate a series of events resulting in a temporal rift. Greyfox ended up missing and was presumed to be dead.
He resurfaced in the Union of Border Worlds--in the Enigma Quadrant, with newfound powers over Fourspace. He accompanied a small group of freedom fighters in their fight to defeat a little-known group of tyrannical aliens. Through the course of the small incursion, his powers seemed to grow stronger, and he used them with great frequency.
Again, he disappeared for a time, only to reappear on the LEV colony, in time to accept command of the VAXMigrator. Again, over the course of events leading up to the Great Paradox Rift, he displayed unimaginable powers and abilities, only this time claiming some entity named Aa'kra Naenor had been tutoring him. During the Paradox Rift, Greyfox gave his life to rescue the inhabitants of the ship from being sucked into a negative dimension, created to fill the void left by the rifting itself.
Once again, he has returned to the VAXMigrator, only marked by Nimitz as a criminal of the most heinous sort. He is one of the most decorated war heroes from the Cylon Conflict. Still, he remains an enigma to many of those serving under him--although they would gladly follow him into the gates of Hell itself...
