About
Tactical & Flight Officer of the ISV Lodestar. He flies the landings — the Aurora-class makes planetfall whole, so this is real piloting, not a console abstraction — and runs the guns when the cold war goes hot. He is the crew's combat and atmospheric-flight competence in one seat: fast, physical, superb, and a true believer in Cross's golden-age optimism because for him the dream is not philosophy but the best job in human history. His arc tests whether the swagger survives a war that kills people he cannot out-fly.
