Alice Bylfort

The genius scientist exiled from her homeland

 

Cast out of her homeland for inhumane experiments she refused to stop, Alice rebuilt herself as the head of a pharmaceutical empire that's equal parts legitimate business and the Federation's most profitable drug operation. Calm, curious, and largely indifferent to conventional morality, she treats the succession war as just another fascinating problem to solve.

Livio Lillia Secretariat

The founder with a thirst for knowledge

One of the Federation's trusted founders, Livio was secretly planted aboard the colony ship to recover lost knowledge of Earth for her own people. The succession war looks, to her, like the best chance in centuries to finally crack open the ship's locked secrets. Diligent, sincere, and genuinely respected by other executives, Livio could be about to have all her hard work pay off.

Alicia Corleone

The boss's daughter, underestimated once

Alicia lost her arm and her mother in the same "accident" she's certain was an assassination, and built her own faction from scratch after the Federation chose diplomacy over revenge. Dismissed at first as a figurehead riding her bloodline, she's since made most of her doubters regret it.

Nakira Uebayashi

The mad hound seeking revenge for her boss

Exiled for killing her own father, Nakira was taken in by the Federation's previous boss, Ileina Corleone. A love of combat and a hatred of the Yastunose Shogunate that exiled her propelled her to YENA’s highest ranks by the age of nineteen. When Ileina was killed, her gratitude curdled into a single goal: making the Granmachia Empire pay, whatever it costs her.

Crescent Umbergit

The dragon who sees through every lie

Ordinarily, Dragonewts are known for their exceptional physical abilities. Crescent, however, was born possessing a rare magical eye known as the "Eye of Truth" in place of those physical gifts. After a life of being hunted, she’s ready to step into the limelight and become the next leader of YENA.

Liu Xinyu

The first crew member, fighting for a chance

Once the head of her homeworld's largest mafia at just 14 years old, Xinyu helped build the Federation from nothing. For years she was second in command, but then lost almost all her support after choosing diplomacy over revenge against Granmachia. Gentle and easy to underestimate, she's trying once more for the crew who've followed her since Home.

Hex

The cursed child who became indispensable

Born unable to sense ether and shunned as a bad omen because of it, Hex was given a future by Director Kanade, the one person who looked past the curse everyone else saw. Gruff with nearly everyone but her, Hex is chasing the top seat for one reason: to make sure nobody can ever threaten the one person who chose her.
