Characters

Stephanie Sutherland

The main protagonist of the series. A Lieutenant Commander in the Eumarian military and a very skilled strikecraft pilot, Stephanie is on her first big assignment onboard the Supremacy as a newly recruited member of the Galahad Initiative, a classified project to develop a team of Pillar mechs to battle the Revenant. Using her newly acquired Warwolf AI, Stephanie will need to quickly learn how to operate her Pillar mech as she trains alongside the other Pillar Pilot recruits. The Eumarian military is counting on her and the rest of the Galahad Initiative, knowing that the Revenant faction is also developing their own mechs to wage war against humanity.

Kevin March

The Pillar Pilot of the Rabbit mech. A Commander originating from SHARD, Kevin is part of the Galahad Initiative team to evaluate and train the four new Pillar Pilot recruits. Skilled in high mobility mech and aerospace combat, along with his Mech Marine military proficiencies, Kevin is a valuable asset for the Supremacy and the Eumarian forces. Kevin’s AI, named Rabbit, was programmed by SHARD and given to him to allow operation of his mech. The Rabbit AI features a multitude of capabilities that are far more advanced than an ordinary AI. Kevin engaged the Revenant forces on multiple occasions with the Rabbit Pillar before joining the Galahad Initiative team.

Jordan Olds

The commanding officer of the Eumarian warship, Supremacy, with the rank of captain. In addition to her duties as ship’s captain, Jordan supervises the Galahad Initiative project and its team. Before taking command of the Supremacy, Jordan was mentored by Mark Hammond, a well-respected admiral in the Eumarian military. Jordan works closely with her senior officers to assist Eumaria’s military in thwarting Revenant’s assault on the Possibility space elevator.

Dingo Anderson

The Supremacy’s chief engineer and an old friend of Jordan Olds. Dingo looked after Stephanie when she was in flight school following the news about her parents’ deaths in SHARD. Dingo was a good friend of her parents and has always acted as a mentor to Stephanie. He volunteered to join the Galahad Initiative team to be the project’s technological consultant for the development of the Pillar mechs, working closely with Captain Olds and Commander March.
