Steward. Young, on first tour. In awe of all the high ranks around him. A bit clumsy.
Steward. 6 tours and still serving tables. Attitude problem. Runs bottom decks gambling. DIslikes officers. Hides from bosun.
Gunner. Green kid, off the agri world and fresh out of training. Very WOW and OOh.
Gunner. Loves the big guns, nothing more fun than the smell of overloaded circuits. Was on a spinal mount team. Not happy with this pop gun.
Gunner. 5 tours and still an assistant gunner. Real attitude problem. Been demoted several times. RUns the bottom decks gambling with the steward.
Gunner. Marine. Wants off this tub and back onto a proper ship with marines around her. These vacc sucking navy/civilian types are going to crash or somesuch.
Gunner. Thousand km stare. Been there and shot it. No such thing as excesive firepower. scary type. Not safe with sharp objects.
Gunner. Senior warrant, run entire gunnery departments in his day. Now stuck with this bunch of fumble finger halfwits. When he was in command he ran a real gunnery department.
Gunner. third tour. Lots of training, lots of practice, fire control computer, sensors and he still misses 25% more than he should (-2 to hit). Oddly he is the exact opposite with sand or point defence fire. Plays loads of really old 2d games off duty.
Gunners Mate. Senior gunner. 5 terms. Shoots the wings off a passing swallow with a laser, bullseyes wamp rats with missiles. Sneaked past last two medicals. Going deaf in one ear due to 20 years of sitting so close to discharging energy capacitors. Keeps deafness secret so he can stay with his guns. Hears ok from one side, nothing from the other.
Traveller: Nonsense, those rumours about me and crashes, no truth in them at all. I never had a landing I didn't walk away from!
ACTA-SF: Who are we, GORN. What do we want, Cruisers that can turn.... Wait, OK Escorts... Wait. I'll get back to you !
