Jonas Tiberius Planck

A veteran of several wars, he served only as a "gamer," remotely piloting robot ships. He is maladjusted and antisocial, the result of having spent 5 years of his childhood in isolation, raised by a "Mother Pod", and inundated with films and television programs of the 20th century. Quixotic, possibly sociopathic, definately cowardly, he is the last person you would want to trust your illegal cargo with.

Colonel Rex

A German Shepard, the Colonel is the product of genetic enhancements performed on animals during the Earth/Zendrathi war. It was found that ships piloted by monkeys, cats, and dogs were so erratic and instinctual in their attack strategies that the perfectly logical Zendrathi could not predict their moves, as they could with humans. This broke a ten year stalemate along the downspin neutral zones.

Auryn Telluride

There are currently twelve identical women of varying age who claim to be the original genetic template of Auryn Marianne Telluride, the nefarious clone madame of the outer territories. Almost 450,000 colonists on undisclosed worlds can trace their lineage to her original DNA code sequence, primarily due to relaxed cloning laws from the initial pre-stratification colony charters. As a result, many colonists are inbred and moronic, the product of years of cross-fertilizing with cloned black-market wives, degraded copies of the original Madame Telluride. Recent clone-trafficking legislation has attempted to crack down on such sordid trade, but as yet, there are over 300 such "midwives" still at large.

The girl in the comic is not named Auryn. She was lying about her name.

Marshall Beauregard Thaddeus Kreiger

With a career record of 549 arrests as many as 2100 unconfirmed kills, M.B.K.(Murderin' Bastard Klansman, as he is sometimes called) is skeptically regarded as one of the shining beacons of justice in the outer territories. His disregard for jurisdiction and public safety is legendary, and is commonly cited as a reason that this monster is considered a folk hero to many colonists. His status as Space Marshall is due entirely to family connections.

Deputy Fred "Junior" Kreiger

His status as Deputy Marshall is due entirely to family connections.

Une Pallat Geebo

A Plenumbrian casino owner and black market trade baron, Geebo runs illegal races, bounty scams, and smuggling operations across the entire Outer Arm. Protected by a cadre of mentactic space lawyers, and entrenched in regional politics, his public persona is endearing to many Earthlings, and he has his own fledgling entertainment network. He is obsessed with the mythology of the human race, and often fixates for months at a time on a particular genre of story or period in Earth's history. This week, he's a cowboy.

Dominic "Luigi" Colosimo

Planck's second gunner during the Tragos Uprising (they got the high score), Dominic served as Planck's copilot in the now infamous Comet Run of 2482, during which he gave up his chance to win the race at the last second by stopping to save a puppy. The rift in their friendship never really healed, and he has harbored a resentment of Jonas for most of his life. It is possible that Luigi has multiple personalities, but it is also likely that he is merely childish.

Babba Nungo

Deadly cyborg. The motivations of this creature are unclear, but it is known that it works as a high priced mercenary and assassin.
