His goal to command his own space vessel were well underway, as was the aspiration to be the youngest and fastest to make Captain in SF History. Over 1,000 officers threw their hat in the ring for the center seat of the Destiny, but Space Fleet Command (SFC) Colonel Philip Nichols wanted him, and only him, and Sven accepted. Captain Howard was in the ship yard every day during construction of the Destiny, and knew everything about her, from stem to stern, and the placement of every rivet, quantum matrix, ion coil and matter energy conversion computer chip. He worked with Destiny Chief Engineer Greta Gerig-Martin to adapt every known engineering method to make their quantum ion propulsion (QIP) system safe and every known propulsion formula to make her faster than any other ship in space.
Commander Steve Lebit, First/Science Officer: From the time he could count how many steps to the Jewish deli in Brooklyn Heights, Steve had a gift for numbers. He was recruited by MIT and Harvard to model mathematical formula parameters and program models in 7th grade, graduating high school at age 14. He finished college at age 18, graduating with a quadruple masters in mathematics, physics, astrobiology and quantum theory. By age 21, Steve was married to the top Medical Diagnostic Expert in the world and owned the largest statistical probability and quantum theory modeling firm on the planet. When his wife accepted a position as Chief Medical officer on the state of the art space exploration vessel ESS Destiny, Steve tossed his hat in the ring for the dual position and was immediately offered the position.
Dr. Janice Boyd, Commander/Chief Medical Officer: Janice went to work with her father everyday and when she graduated from school, enrolled in Space Fleet Medical (SFM) and became the best medical diagnostician on the planet. Her skills, remedies and recovery rates were staggering until she was diagnosed with Lyme Disease which caused cancerous growths all over her organs. She took a sabbatical to do research and find a cure. When nothing seemed to work, Dr. Boyd received a potion from an anonymous, mysterious healer, which cured her overnight. Dr. Boyd rejoined SF and accepted a position on the ESS Destiny to continue her research to study the potion she was given, the disease she had been cured of and others in order to find a permanent cure for all.

Ambassador Hélène Claudine, Space Fleet Command First Contact Mission Specialist: Even though she was the descendant of first-generation Americans, Helene always felt connected to her European roots. She traveled extensively in Europe at a young age, and, at 16, earned a full scholarship to the Sorbonne, studying Planetary Diplomacy and Alien Species First Contact. Helene was a major force in policy writing, so the Military and other Black Ops organizations could no longer hide the existence of visitors from outside Earth’s zip code. Once by one, Helene was able to understand alien species languages, introduce translation protocols, so computers could be equipped with adaptive software to hear and learn new languages within minutes. When the Mythariun mission was planned, the Ambassador was one of the first calls made to join the team.
Colonel Phil Nichols Space Fleet Command Space Mission Operations: A career SFC officer, Colonel Nichols overseas all Space Missions, which vessels are sent and assigns the commander of each ship.
