These might not mean anything to you... yet! But they will some day.
- Sophia Forrester, because she is an absolutely competent and kick-ass Vice Captain who never lets her personal feelings get in the way of doing the very best she can to run (or assist in running) this insanely equipped battleship. Her loyalties run incredibly deeply, she's smart and skilled and compassionate, and she rises to every challenge put before her almost unflinchingly, even the really difficult ones. But she's no Mary Sue, despite all that.
- Delphine Eraclea. You know I have a soft spot for a well-done villain, and how often does the bad guy get to be female? She's entirely unrepentant, scary as hell, and sounds a whole lot like Faye. Her psychosis and megalomania know no bounds. She's like a cross between Cruella DeVille, Vicious, and Ladd Russo and if you can find me another female villain like that, I'll be impressed.
- Listening Officer Wina Lightning. The minor characters in this series get so overlooked, and Wina's sorely underused. But there are pivotal moments (one in particular) where she just breaks my heart with her kindness. I'm also quite fond of characters with unique and invaluable talents, and she's one of the few irreplaceable officers on the Silvana.
