Omega Rising characters

Appears from the start

First appears in chapter 3

An expressive synthetic being who operates and repairs the damaged gunship that carried Jason away from Earth. He pilots the vessel alone, while the absence of its regular crew remains unexplained.

First appears in chapter 8

A biological alien engineer who boards the gunship at breaker's world to repair its gravity systems and reactor calibration. He has never encountered a human before meeting Jason and is wounded when armed attackers strike during the cargo transaction.

First appears in chapter 10

A dangerous criminal client with personnel, private facilities, and influence at Pinnacle Station. He accepts the gunship's covert shipment, transfers most of the agreed payment, and directs the crew to remain available for further business.

First appears in chapter 11
