Redea
Race: Rabitian
Pilot: 5
Engineer: 1
Stamina: 3
Redea is famous for being the first Rabitian into space and has had her share of close calls, but has so far managed to always land on her tushy. She's credited with discovering that Rabitian ears can be twirled fast enough to act as reaction wheels, but would much rather worry about flying Up Goers than designing or repairing them. Not surprising given her pivotal role in the early history of spacederping, her specialty is to take test articles through their paces in short missions.
Zalpha
Race: Goblin
Pilot: 0
Engineer: 3
Stamina: 6
Zalpha is known for having a full head of hair (speculation is that it'd make excellent heat shielding, but she's not sharing) and for being extremely relentless and focused, both things fairly rare for a goblin. While she is not that prepared theoretically, her ability to improvise makes her an asset on long-duration missions in which something is sure to go wrong; she shouldn't fly an Up Goer by herself, while she is sure to get it back home, it probably won't be in one piece.
Stork
Race: Merbian
Pilot: 3
Engineer: 3
Stamina: 3
Stork is a well-rounded spacederp who can deal with most situations. He's more than a little paranoid and an obsession with preparedness has prevented him from specializing; that said, this makes him ideal for solo missions.
Pun-Pun
Race: Cutebold
Pilot: 0
Engineer: 0
Stamina: 2
Pun-pun has only recently joined the cutebold space program! He is a newbie but given the time-optimized approach of his team, he's going up soon and is eager and excited to participate in his first ascension.
Joel Robinson
Race: Deep Thirteen
Pilot: 1
Engineer: 1
Stamina: 7
A much put-upon individual, Joel does not excel in any field but can do a little bit of everything. This makes him a good choice for payload specialist, as he can operate mapping modules on long-duration missions, keep an eye on temperamental robots, and other mind-numbing tasks.
