Marla Vehle



Talented, quick-thinking, and contemptuous of almost anyone who wears a uniform, Marla Vehle is something of a contradiction. Although she clearly has no liking for authority, she has herself been in a position of command aboard the Forward unto Dawn for two years. Promoted on the basis of merit, and with no protestation from herself, Vehle has fulfilled her duties well - much to the chagrin of officers who would sooner see her fail. She spends much of her spare time amongst the crew, even taking her meals in the hab-decks when the Rogue Trader is not hosting a meal. Marla wears a simple black uniform, which remains the same from her days as a junior officer. She hasn't bothered to change her rank insignia. She is of average height, very thin-faced, and overly slim.

Midshipman - Kolstys Kol; a junior officer currently serving in the Auger Array. He has a metallic nose piece, which covers the ruin of his own nose, though it is not bionic.
