Dramatis Personae

The following are the main characters in the campaign.

Yes, the U.S.S. Larson is categorized as a character in the campaign. If you're a big star trek fan, you probably don't have a problem with that.

You will also note that the PCs currently have roles NOT on the Larson. We're several months into the campaign and their ship was recently destroyed in action. They are currently assigned to the Special Projects Division of Starfleet.
