<strong>Position:</strong>Maintenance Commander, Vigilant: Captain Kyle Stevens, 41 years old (Brendan Gleeson)<div class="floatright">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120105075961/filmguide/images/b/b1/BrendanGleeson1.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>Captain Stevens began on the colony of (blank) and joined the military at the age of 18, beginning his career as a maintainer.  His impressive work ethic, stoic attitude and soft-spoken demeanor caught the attention of those around him.  After 15 years of service as an enlisted, then Petty Officer, 1st class Stevens was selected for commissioning, as the vast majority of maintenance commanders come from within their own ranks.<br/><br/>Since commissioning 8 years ago, Stevens has risen through the ranks rather quickly, as most prior enlisted do, and while he has not been as impressive as an officer as he was as an enlisted, there is no doubt as to his continued work ethic, integrity, or the respect of his men.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Captain Stevens still has the same strong work ethic as ever, and is still just as slow to bring his problems to anyone else.  Coworkers argue that his stamina is such that he could outlast the Vigilant, and only sleeps to set an example for those under him.  He's a touch lax on regulations as long as he doesn't see anything hurting the mission.  He can generally be counted on to brew an adequate batch of moonshine.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>CAG, Valkyrie: Captain James Caulfield, 33 years old (Ed Norton)<div class="floatleft">(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080402020216/marvelmovies/images/f/fc/Edward_Norton.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>James got his start flying Mark IVs off of the Gunstar Hermes.  Given the predominantly peaceful time period during which he served, the majority of his operations were surveillance, with the occasional pirate raid.  He is somewhat well known (by those who've had to listen to him talk about it) for a raid on a small pirate fleet that had been causing significant political difficulties on his home planet.  He claims he saw the perfect opportunity and led the assault that resulted in zero friendly casualties and 14 EKIAs.<br/><br/>The truth is that he initiated combat without explicit authorization.  The attack was an overwhelming success, and something of a blood bath, but given the political environment, as well as supporting testimony from superior officers defending his decision as the best tactical decision, if not the best procedural one.  While he was quietly reprimanded for his actions, he had too much high level coverage to allow any official administrative action, and the effective result and skillful flying led to his on time promotion and appointment as CAG.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>James has always been a quick-tempered, impetuous man.  His claim to fame has only proven that he has little intention of changing that.  Of course, his claim to fame also showed the possibility of a keen tactical mind, though his records from the assignment did not contain any specific mention of his aptitude for strategy.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Commander, Mobility Group, Vigilant: Captain Thomas Bodley, 37 years old (Ben Stiller)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.celebrity9.com/img/ben-stiller/ben-stiller-1.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>There is little of note regarding Captain Bodley's career.  Like Captain Stevens, he also started off as an enlisted maintainer and was accepted for commission.  Unlike Stevens, he applied after only eight years of turning wrenches (including four spent in command-sponsored education courses), leaving him more time to gain rank as an officer.  His career is best described as mundane.  He spent his first three ranks as a transport pilot, having not performed well enough to merit Viper placement.  He was promoted to captain a full year before Stevens, who was once in his chain of command when they were both enlisted.  Since then, he has headed the Mobility Group, where his only distinguishment was scoring a slightly higher score than his predecessor on the annual unit inspection.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Thomas would not be described as a forceful personality.  "Affable" and "harmless" are often used when describing him.  Even as a pilot, he never made a significant impact, but his record has always been spotless, and the military generally makes a habit of promoting prior enlisted, so it is likely he will make major within a couple of years and end up an XO somewhere.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Passenger, Odyssey: Mike Masters, 42 years old (Tom Cruise)<div class="floatleft">(http://images.geo.tv/updates_pics/1-10-2013_83191_l.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>If it is a role of any significance, Mike Masters has played it.  Known for high adrenaline dramas or outright action movies, Mike Masters is a guarantee that any movie will be commercially successful.  Mike Masters was born Michael Masterson, but altered it to aid his then-budding acting career.   Between his undeniable success and good looks that only seem to have improved with age, audiences have forgiven his eccentricities and occasional forays into political opinion.<br/><br/>Recently, there have been rumors that he has been cast in the upcoming movie "Pirate Hunter," based on a true story.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>It's not just his remarkable looks and acting ability that are inhuman.  Mike Masters is an odd man.  There aren't a lot of details regarding this oddness of his, as pretty much everyone he meets has been forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  He is polite to fans and anyone else that ignores the less desirable aspects of his personality, the most observed of which is that he seems to view everyone around him as a servant.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Captain, Odyssey: Mark Williams, 45 years old (Dennis Quaid)<div class="floatright">(http://www.biography.com/imported/images/Biography/Images/Profiles/Q/Dennis-Quaid-9449266-1-402.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>Despite a wide variety of accusations over the past three decades, no one has accused Mark Williams of being disorganized.  By the time he was a teenager he was working as a delivery boy, and before long he learned that he could work other types of deliveries into his schedule.  It started by passing messages.  He had a sharp mind, which meant he could be trusted to remember names, addresses and messages without having to write anything down.  Crime bosses who wanted to communicate without getting noticed could just order some food for a couple of locations and he would appear with an order, ready to commit to memory anything told, and then deliver the second order along with the message.  Granted, sometimes it meant the same house would make multiple orders a night, but if the cops stopped him he was always clean.  The manager would know what was going on, but he wasn't about to pass on extra business and piss off those kind of people.<br/><br/>Before long, he bought the restaurant, expanding quickly, and wasn't just passing messages, he was sending them.  Cutting in on his business?  Delivery men ended up robbed.  Cause problems with one of his partners?  Death.  It's not as though he never got arrested, but he never got convicted of anything damning, just minor theft and obstruction of justice.  It didn't help that prosecutors who failed to bring a good enough case against him were usually consoled by beautiful women that happened to show up with gifts.<br/><br/>Now, he owns the Odyssey, and not wanting to trust the biggest investment of his life to some pilot he doesn't know, he captains it himself.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>(Still being worked)<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Security Chief, BSF: Robert Melcher, 54 years old (Tommy Lee Jones)<div
