ExoFleet Personnel


Name: Wolf Bronski
Capacity: Ground Assault Officer
Assignment: ExoSquad Flight One: Able Squad
E-Frame Type: Ground Assault E-Frame "BD-100"
Birth Planet: Earth
Dossier: Wolf Bronski is the Ground Assault Officer of Able Squad. He has the longest service record of any ExoSquad member. He is a gruff, hard-edged techno-brute with a heart of gold, who's often known to belch after a good battle or a midnight mess hall raid. Bronski may be a little unorthodox, but he's the best back-up an ExoSquad E-Framer could have. That's why he's often teamed with ExoSquad rookies like ExoFighter Pilot Kaz Takagi. His Ground Assault E-Frame may be a little worse for the wear, but combined with Bronski's expert marksmanship, they're the ultimate NeoBattling machine.

Name: Nara Burns
Rank: JumpTroop Liason
Assignment: ExoSquad Flight One: Able Squad
E-Frame Type: Reconnaissance E-Frame #TB-024
Birth Planet: Venus
Dossier: Nara Burns enlisted in ExoSquad as a young recruit from her home planet, Venus. While Nara, along with the rest of Able Squad, was fighting the Pirate scourge, control of the HomeWorlds was seized by the Neos. Nara's parents were killed in the Neo attack on Venus and Nara's brother, James, became leader of the Venus resistance. Piloting her Reconnaissance E-Frame, Nara often flies JumpTroop escort missions, making her Able Squad's chief liaison to JumpTroop's advance forces. Nara is outgoing, yet deliberate; compassionate, yet tough; emotional, yet clearheaded. She is especially empathetic to Marsala.

Nara was one of the first Terran colonists of Venus to join Exosquad. Nara is athletic, beautiful, and brilliant. Nara learned quickly how to survive on her own in the wild, pioneer atmosphere of the Terran settlement on Venus. Her experiences have also made her one of the most indepedent members of Exosquad. She respects the Neosapiens' desire to control their own destiny. But she refuses to pay the price of enslavement that the Neosapiens demand.

Assignment: ExoSquad JumpTroop: Charlie-Five Squadron
E-Frame Type: UltraLight Command #AD-014
Dossier: Avery F. Butler is Platoon Commander of JumpTroop: Charlie-Five Squadron. He is an officer of few words and heavy actions. When Butler speaks, Charlie-Five Squadron listens. Butler was commissioned as JumpTroop commander after he led a successful dual-front attack against the Neosapiens and the Tehian Pirates. His lighting fast maneuvers are noted in ExoSquad battle history and feared by oppressing Neos and marauding space pirates. Butler's UltraLight Command E-Frame is designed with static Jovian Ice Moon Cammo ideal for guerilla warfare in the treacherous caves on the ice moons orbiting Jupiter.

Name: Jinx Madison
Rank: Demolition Expert
Assignment: Earthbound Resistance
E-Frame Type: Fire Warrior E-Frame #AM-1194
Birth Planet: Earth
Dossier: Prior to the Neo invasion of Earth, Jinx Madison was a street wise youth known for his guts and flare for pyrotechnics. After the Neo takeover, Jinx took refuge in a dilapidated firehouse, where he honed his fire mechanics skills and customized an abandoned firefighting vehicle into a fierce Fire Warrior E-Frame. An urban vigilante turned terran rebel, Jinx Madison joined the Earthbound Resistance and now fights to liberate Earth from the tyrannical Pheaton. With his knowledge of pyrotechnics and heavy Weaponry, Jinx commands the Earthbound Resistance's arsenal of stolen Neo E-Frames and makeshift artilery. Together, Jinx Madison and his Fire Warrior E-Frame are one brutal Neo-torching machine - perfect for turning up the heat on Pheaton.

Name: Marsala
Species: Neosapien (with allegiance to ExoSquad)
Assignment: Special EON Commission
Light Attack ExoFrame Model #: RA-678
Type: Rapid Assault
Birthing Center: Planet Mars
Dossier: Neosapien. Formerly fought against ExoSquad during early Neosapien occupation of Mars. An elite member of ExoSquad and a confidant and trusted friend of J.T. Marsh. Analytical, emotionless, and super strong, Marsala opposes the radical methods of Phaeton-and has a personal vendetta against him. Marsala's defection means instant death should he be captured by Neosapien forces. Though some EON command and resistance members are hesitant to trust Marsala, to date, his allegiance has been unyielding. His E-Frame's power of flight and super-speed on the ground combine to make Marsala a master of rapid strategic strikes and sneak attacks. His E-Frame houses a mighty arsenal, including the thundering Turbosonic Rockets, which are fully programmable and target-specific. The Exo-Spring Powered Floating Drone Disc hovers over the battlefield, scouting for enemy E-Frames. A complete complement of artillery combined with a keen sense of battle strategy makes Marsala a valuable member of ExoSquad.

Home Town: Elysium, Martian Neosapien Birthing Center

Marsala is one of the very few Neosapiens who is still loyal to his creators. He is also Lt. Marsh's best friend. Marsala stands over seven feet tall and his intelligence and reflexes make him a near-perfect Neosapien specimen. Because he defected from Phaeton's Neosapien army, he has been branded a traitor. The punishment is instant death if he is captured. Though some of his teammates view him with suspicion, Marsala is steadfast and unswerving in his loyalty to Exosquad and friendship to Lt. Marsh.

Leader of Exosquad
Home Town: Ameron, orbital industrial city, North America
Personal Motto: "In Chaos, Opportunity."

J.T. Marsh is a natural-born rebel and hero. From the moment he learned that the Neosapiens had conquered Earth and the other Mankind "Homeworlds" of Mars and Venus, he knew he had to do something to help his fellow humans. In Exosquad he is not only leading the fight to free mankind, he is also giving hope to all those suffering under the brutal rule Neosapiens rule.

Name: Sean Napier
Rank: Leader of the Earthbound Resistance
Assignment: Earth (Vicinity of Chicago)
E-Frame Type: Police Enforcer E-Frame #DW-240 (Modified Neosapien Security E-Frame)
Birth Planet: Earth
Dossier: Sean Napier was discharged from ExoSquad for insubordination and became a security officer in Chicago (now Pheaton City), where he once saved Phaeton from an assassination attempt. Napier has a strong mistrust of all Neosapiens, even Marsala. Napier's Police Enforcer E-Frame is actually a modified Neosapien Security E-Frame that he stole while escaping from a Neo labor camp. Led by Napier, the Earthbound Resistance wreaks havoc on its Neosapien oppressors and assists the Able Squad in their missions on Earth.

Terran Group Resistance Leader
Home Town: Chicago, Illinois, USA, Earth

Sean is the most experienced Exosquad member. While on a two-week leave after his first tour of duty ended, the Neosapiens captured Chicago in a suprise attack and renamed it Phaeton City after their leader. Sean quickly became an underground resistance leader. He is considered by the Neosapiens to be their most dangerous adversary in the city.

(I feel that I should make a note of the fact that, in the television show, Napier was kicked out of the ExoFleet and later the Chicago Police Force because of his attitude. It also seemed at times that he might be a borderline alcoholic, though this conclusion is very debatable.)

Name: Colleen O'Reilly
Rank: Second Lieutenant
Assignment: ExoSquad JumpTroop:Charlie-Five Squadron
E-Frame Type: Rapid Recon #LS 042
Dossier: Colleen O'Reilly is the communications and ExoTech specialist for JumpTroop: Charlie-Five Squadron. She's gutsy and outgoing.

As one of only three ranking officers in Charlie-Five, O'Reilly interfaces with Able Squad and has developed a special comraderie with J.T. Marsh. Under the cover of her Venusian Defence Cammo, O'Reilly can touch down in her UltraLight Rapid Recon E-Frame, Blast her way into Neosapien strongholds, electronically sabotage Neo sercuity and be out in time to join Primary ExoForces in battle.

Dossier: Kaz Takagi is the hotshot ExoFighter Space E-Frame pilot assigned Flight One: Able Squad. He may be the rookie member of the unit, but he's also a top gun, who more than pulls his weight in battle. He is young and hyper. Though occaisionally insubordinate, he's always ready to learn from the more experienced members of the squad, like Wolf Bronski, who once saved Takagi's life in a sub-space battle over the Jupiter moons. Takagi also shares a special esprit de corps with Maggie Weston. His customized ExoFighter Space E-Frame is equipped with a holographic system that is capable of creating a mirror image of his Space E-Frame, leaving the Neos confused and open to attack. When not engaged in deep space battle with the Neos, Takagi provides subspace aerial support to Able Squad's ground units.

Kaz Takagi

Exotrooper 1st Class
Home Town: Unknown

A lot of mystery and scandal surround this Exosquad rookie. Though he's respected as a highly-skilled and fearless trooper, he's also regarded by his Exoforce superiors as a troublemaker. And he has the demerits on his record to prove it. Kaz did come to Exosquad with a checkered past. But the past includes invaluable contacts across the universe, and more than a few in the most suprising locations. Despite his devil-may-care attitude, Kaz is fiercely loyal to his friends and will somehow always arrive just when he's needed most.

Kaz Takagi is a one-of-a-kind Exotrooper who is a highly skilled and brave warrior who's part scam artist and part charmer. He is fiercely loyal to his Exosquad teammates and gets things done but never by the book.

Name: Rita Torres
Rank: Field Sergeant
E-Frame Type: Field Sergeant E-Frame #LD-029
Birth Planet: Earth
Dossier: Rita Torres is second to J.T. Marsh in the chain of command for Able Squad. As Field Sergeant, Torres is often first to engage Neosapien fire. On the ground or in the air, Torres is one tough leader. She follows the ExoFleet handbook to the letter, which often puts her at odds with the unorthodox procedures of Wolf Bronski.

With her Field Sergeant E-Frame at her command, Torres is never one to retreat from heavy ordinance Neobashing. She is able-bodied, level-headed, and objective-oriented -- a perfect soldier of combat.

Name: Maggie Weston
Rank: ExoTech Officer

E-Frame Type: Field Repair E-Frame #PO-024
Birth Place: Pacifica, Earth
Dossier: Maggie Weston is the Field Repair Specialist behind the ExoTechnology that keeps the ExoSquad one step ahead of the Neos. Maggie's part inventor, part technician and 100% resourceful. She may be a little shy and reserved when it comes to people, but Maggie can create or repair just about any kind of computer-controlled weapon or communications system with self-assured expertise. Her Field Repair E-Frame allows her to repair and maintain damaged ExoSquad weapon systems while effectively defending against Neo attack. She shares a special esprit de corps with Alec DeLeon. Able Squad would be grounded without her.

Exotech Office 1st Class
Home Town: Pacifica, capital of Western Confederation of States (formerly the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona), Earth.

Part inventor, part weapons technician, and all genius, Maggie is Exosquad's acknowledged engineering wizard. She is responsible for computer programming and weapon maintenance of the E-Frame units and no one does the job better. But what makes her especially dangerous is her ability to use anything at hand, even the simplest communication device, to jam, disrupt, or shutdown even the most secure Neosapiens communications centers. Because she is a loner, Maggie often feels like an outsider. But when the chips are down, no one's a more trusted or valued member of the small Exosquad family than Maggie.
