[x] State Department Attache Madhava Parsamyan: One of the Commonwealth's most experienced diplomats, Parsamyan was assigned to your ship a few years ago to handle negotiations with Trimson Trys and somehow stuck around. Over a century old, and with a resume stretching back to the Hemisphere War on Elysium, he is as adept negotiating a trade treaty with an iase caravan as navigating the still-troubled waters between the Earth states.

[x] Commander Gessica Hoedemaeker: Engineering & Second Officer. One of the most experienced hands in the care and feeding of a Soyuz class cruiser, the Commander knows the inside of the reactor room like the back of her hand and is a steady interface between the engineering and science teams to boot.

[x] Commander Stalks-With-Cunning: Caiveh. She's the spitting image of a caiveh warrior, fierce claws and predator instincts, the caiveh thought themselves masters of all they survey. Unfortunately, they ran into the Imperium and lost their homeworld, with the Commonwealth's caiveh population descended from formerly nomadic clans who've taken the offer to settle down on the colony world of Penzance. A member of the Void Hunter Clan, Stalks-With-Cunning is a rare caiveh who didn't find herself jumping at the chance to become a fighter pilot. Unlike many of her fellows, she recognizes that the image of the caiveh in glorious hand-to-hand combat is undermined both by the misfortunes her species has suffered over the last few thousand years and by the fact that the average caiveh warrior stands barely a meter and a half tall and doesn't break fifty kilos, and is more than willing to use her wit and cunning without resorting to screaming and leaping.

[X] (Special unlock due to Captain selection) A Hoplite team. Hoplites are elite special forces assigned to trouble spots as needed. Equipped with gear made by relic OPF autofacs, they're quite literally beyond the cutting edge-each fireteam costs approximately as much to equip and fit out as a Robert the Bruce class light cruiser. Still, when you need a five man fireteam to...do pretty much anything you need a fireteam can do, these are your guys. In this case, the connection is al-Kurabi's brother, who is assigned to the Hoplite Gamma team. You won't get Gamma, families are never deployed together, but the family connection plus your reputation means they're willing to deploy a team to your ship...in case something comes up.
