Lisa Hayes-Hunter	Amethyst McCalister	Ariel Johnson	Richard Exegram
Rick Hunter	Erica Williams	Beatrice Watson
Roy Hunter	William Gregory Armstrong Nex	Catherine Shelling

Age: 69 (though no one would ever ask her that to her face.)
Rank: Admiral, Commander of SDF-4
Relations: Admiral Rick Hunter, Lieutenant Roy Hunter. Wife and mother respectively.
History: Admiral Hayes-Hunter has been an officer aboard every SDF class ship (Zor's Super Dimensional Space Fortress), and has been instrumental in the development of the military along with that of the Earth's and the human race's spread into the universe. If it were not for Lisa's quick thinking and oftentimes uncanny sense of duty and resourcefullness, many disasters waiting to happen wouldn't have been waiting.

Age: 64 (though one could never guess)
Rank: Admiral
Relations: Admiral Lisa Hayes-Hunter, Lieutenant Roy Hunter. Husband and father respectively.
History: Admiral Hunter has also been an officer aboard every SDF class ship. For most of his career, during the first and part  of the second Robotech Wars, Rick was a veritech pilot. Rick loves to fly, he learned from the original Roy, Roy Fokker,  and his father, Pop Hunter, when he was a young boy. Rick married Lisa during the second Robotech War, after a long engagement/love affair (if you can tell me which of these it was I'll be glad to specify!!) and they had their son Roy Hunter in 2030 on Tiresia. He has been a proponent of Peace ever since he got sucked into the First Robotech War because of his then love, Lynn-Minmei. Admiral Hunter is currently stationed on Luna Base awaiting the return of his wife and son.

Age: 26
Rank: Lieutenant
Relations: Admiral Lisa Hayes-Hunter, Admiral Rick Hunter. Son.
History: Lieutenant Hunter entered the service at 21 with his parents' (sort of) blessing, because he wanted to be a pilot, and  see the stars. But Roy had already been to space, on the SDF-3, where it became obvious that he had the same sort of          psychic powers as Aurora Sterling, who is currently a member of the Interworld Council, but then was oftentimes involved in messages sent from one area of the human controlled or explored regions of space to the other. Roy is still in possesion of these powers, and uses them to help him control his planes, which is why he never applied for or received an Instu-Mentality Chip. He was assigned to the SDF-4 to serve in protecting his mother, among other things, and his father is scared and a little upset.

Age: 21
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Relations: None aboard the SDF-4.
History: Lt. Com. McCalister has always had two loves, the stars and flight. She applied to the Defense Forces shortly after   turning 16, and has been a pilot since age 17. McCalister was raised by her mother, Cilice McCalister, and never knew  her father. Lt. Com. McCalister possesses latent (hidden, for those of you who're wondering) psychic and psionic powers  and was grounded from flight after an episode in which her mental powers attacked her Instu-Mentality Chip (which aided  her in flying without  her own mental powers), and put on bridge duty. She was then assigned to the guidance of RoyHunter   for training in her abilities because of an order handed down that she had to accompany the SDF-4. Lt. Com. McCalister spent two tours of duty with the Defense Fleet at Opteras, and her previous tour was with the ICDS (Interworld Council Defense Squadron). Received Platinum Medal for bravery and rescues numbering twenty four.

Age: 24
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Relations: Mother and father are aboard the SDF-4.
History: Erica was first introduced to the military as a young child, when her mother and father were both stationed at the former Reflex Point area to help with the construction and organization of the SDF-4. Her mother, Melissa Williams, is a career military woman and has been in the service since she was 17, she is now 42. Her father, Richard Williams, is also a career military man, and has been in since he was 16, he is now 49. Both her parents are Captains and serve in the office of the flight patrols. Erica's joining was a sad inevitablity for her parents, and they are glad the family is stationed together. Erica began working on bridge-class systems when she turned 22.

Age: 27
Rank: Lieutenant
Relations: None Aboard the SDF-4.
History: Lieutenant Nex, descendant of a long-line of fighter pilots, is a natural when it comes to flying a veritech, and his  history (genetically speaking) spans all the way back to the first veritechs, his ancestors were among the pilots that flew with Admiral Rick Hunter himself. Lieutenant Nex is quite the ladies' man, and has the good looks to prove it. He has red hair and green eyes and is almost 6'3". He jumped at the chance to go along with the SDF-4 because he loves to fly in space. He spent two tours of duty with a then Lt. McCalister in the Opteras area, defending the non-Protoculture power sources. He received a titanium medal for rescues numbering 15.

Age: 20
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Relations: None Aboard the SDF-4.
History: Ariel received her first commision doing filing duty aboard the ground SDF-3, and went on to become a dispatcher   and computer tech at the Fokker Base and was instrumental with evacuation of the area during a fire that burnt the base out and killed 25% of the people. She received a bravery medal because she was the last one to exit that inferno. She is the youngest of the ABCs, who are like the Terrible Trio, only more elementary.

Age: 22
Rank: Lieutenant
Relations: None Aboard the SDF-4.
History: Beatrice enlisted because all of her family was killed off in the Second Robotech war except her mother, who was  very sick, but married anyway. Her mother was personally saved by a member of the Skull Squadron, under the then command of Max Sterling, and so she literally owes her life to the Defence Forces. Bea, B, is the oldest of the ABCs. 

Age: 27
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Relations: Three brothers, pilots, aboard the SDF-4.
History: Catherine was the first of six Shelling children to enlist into the Defense Forces. Three became pilots, and Cathy herself contemplated that route, but instead chose the demands of bridge work as well as the stress and responsibility. Cathy and all her siblings joined against their father's wishes, but at their dying mother's consent. Cathy is the only one of  the siblings her father will still see, and she regrets this, so she strives to make him proud of all of them.

Age: 27
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Relations: One brother aboard the SDF-4, Micheal.
History: Exegram was stationed in Opteras with McCalister and Nex, but did not earn any medals for rescues, or for bravery.  He was not very liked because he is a wild pilot that has never seen real action, and does not consider rescues his buisness. He was assigned Neon squadron because he is doubted to bond well with other pilots, but is too valuable to leave behind.
