Long-Haul Freighter Crew
The task of servicing the far flung colonies and waystations, and keeping the flow of resources going, falls to long-haul freight division of The Company. With a fleet comprising of freighters that resemble nothing more than tugs with massive oversized engines, these quaint vessels are capable of hauling several million tons of cargo using a modular cargo tether system. Crewed by dedicated experts in long-distance stellar voyages, The Company's freight division stands at the forefront of professionalism, efficiency, and excellence. This is the record of one such crew aboard the freighter "ZT-A779-86V-MMNC".
The Crew
The Captain
Name: Helena Roskova
Species: Raccoon
Rank: Captain
Age (biological): 33
Age: (chronological): 47
Total Company Experience: 24 years
Tiny, but doesn't take any shit. Her short stature is a result of growing up on a 1.4g high gravity world. Deals with the long-haul restlessness by abusing punching bags and exercising. Has a strict personal policy against intimate fraternizing with her fellow crewmates (mostly directed at the mechanic doe).
The Executive Officer
Name: Sun Li Mei
Species: Snow Leopard
Rank: Lieutenant
Age (biological): 42
Age (chronological): 61
Total Company Experience: 43 years
Aka the ship mom. Has a soft spot for the captain as she finds small things of any sort irresistibly cute. The most experienced crew member by far, but has yet to take the company's captaincy exam, instead preferring the executive officer's quartermaster duty. Also the one to give herself the most slots in the weekly cooking rotation.
The Mechanic
Name: Victoria Landen
Species: White Tail Deer
Rank: Specialist
Age (biological): 26
Age (chronological): 30
Total Company Experience: 11 years
Incorrigible nymphomaniac that has a girlfriend in every port. When she isn't hitting on and sleeping with cute female passengers she's schlicking thinking about them to pass the time between stops. A good mechanic despite her predilections, which is the only reason the captain tolerates her advances. Finds the medical officer's height creepy, and has a thing for short fox girls with green eyes.
The Medical Officer
Name: Namira Hollis
Species: Possum
Rank: Warrant Officer
Age (biological): 35
Age (chronological): 38
Total Company Experience: 19 years
Freakishly tall and lanky from growing up on a 0.6g low gravity world, and as such has terrible posture under normal gravity. Not only responsible for the health of the crew, but also the well-being of any live cargo being transported. Due to this duty she does not spend much time in cryosleep and a lot of time as the only crew member awake, which has severely degraded her bedside manner and social skills. Doesn't actually have a medical licence.
The ?????????
Maybe more crew will be added later, undecided as of yet.
Side Characters
The Legal Exec
Name: June
Species: Red Fox
Rank: Junior Executive
Age (biological): 24
Age (chronological): 24
Total Company Experience: 2 years
Freshly graduated from the Company's legal fast-track program. Her first posting was Arkhangelsk Depot. Hitching a ride onboard the latest freighter to their new posting is standard company procedure for individual employee transfers. Victoria took an immediate interest in her, but it took a few months before the fox finally got tired enough of her fingers to indulge in the doe's company.
The Load-Master
Name: Aki
Species: Red Fox
Rank: Chief
Age (biological): 27
Age (chronological): 27
Total Company Experience: 8 years
Another one of Victoria's girlfriends. She shipped out to the same posting as June 5 years previous on the same freighter. That particular trip out was also Victoria's first long-haul trip and the two bonded closely. Started as a crane operator but quickly rose through the cargo-management ranks at Arkhangelsk Depot's freight yards.
