Mathais Matthews, along with his twin brother Matt, is a member of the cursed Matthews family. The Matthews family has a longstanding history of dying in unlikely accidents while partaking in adventures. After Matt’s father was killed on one of these adventures, his mother forbade her children from doing anything dangerous. However, like all members of the Matthews family, dreams of greatness eventually overcame him and he left home to seek his fortune, eventually joining the pirate vessel "The Vagabond" under Captain Arkady. which he initially believed was a whaling voyage. Mathais’s crewmates have very little respect for him and tend to refer to him by his job title, cabin boy, as they've never bothered to learn his name. He was killed on a kidnapping mission by a Swamp Zombie.

Amaya Solace
Captain of the FSS-CH9, Amaya Solace is the daughter of a high-ranking admiral from the Felinius Kingdom and the youngest person ever appointed captain of a Felinoid Smartship. Hard-nosed and tough as nails, she constantly struggles to prove herself and her team among the Squadron forces, many of whom assume she received her post through nepotism. Despite the general mistrust of her throughout the squadron, she has a reputation for being a fierce fighter, albeit with a history of insubordination and inability to follow orders. Prior to her commission as captain, she served with the CH-13. Extended Bio

Bambii Springs
Bambii is the current pilot of the FSS-CH7. Despite being a member of a SNAT that most Hellcats consider “cursed,” Bambii generally maintains a cheerful demeanor and optimistic attitude. She is prone to falling in love very easily with the men that she dates. Unfortunately these men seem to frequently meet untimely ends. As such, she has not quite yet found the soulmate that she has been searching for. Bambii recently lost her left arm in a Swamp Zombie attack. It was replaced by a bionic prosthesis designed by Sarah.

Chaste
Chaste’s exact origin is unknown. While she is clearly a Felinoid, she was discovered living alone in the wild jungles of Kaneon-9 by the crew of the FSS-CH13. She eventually was given a special appointment to the Cosmic Hellcats forces by Admiral Otto Solace and now serves as Armsmaster aboard the FSS-CH9. Perhaps the most feared combatant in the Squadron, Chaste has a no-nonsense “shoot first and let Ceiling Cat sort them out” attitude. While on the surface she is distant and mean-spirited towards her fellow shipmates, she is extremely protective of them and considers them her family – the only family she has ever known.

Damsel Reed
As pilot of the FSS-CH9, Damsel is one of the greatest pilots in the entire Squadron. Born to a wealthy family and living a life of relative luxury and privilege, Damsel found herself drawn to a greater calling. She ran away from home and enrolled in the Academy for Science Soldiers and eventually was made a Cosmic Hellcat. Despite her stong sense of duty and love of adventure, Damsel is still a socialite princess at heart. She is as much intrigued by the promise of adventure that being a Hellcat provides, as she is to the nobility and honor it brings. Extended Bio

Ensign Matt Matthews
Matt Matthews, along with his twin brother Mathias, is a member of the cursed Matthews family. The Matthews family has a longstanding history of dying in unlikely accidents while partaking in adventures. After Matt’s father was killed on one of these adventures, his mother forbade her children from doing anything dangerous. However, like all members of the Matthews family, dreams of greatness eventually overcame him and he joined the Transuniversal Intergalactic Tranquility Squadron as a Cosmic Hellcat serving as an analyst on the CH-7. Matt’s crewmates (including Bambii, with whom he had a brief sexual affair) find him generally forgettable and have trouble remembering his name, usually referring to him by his rank, Ensign, instead. This causes him no shortage of aggravation. He was killed soon after joining active duty on the CH-7 by a Swamp Zombie.

Mickey Mercury
Yearning for adventure, Mickey joined the pirate ship Vagabond as the sole felinoid member of the crew and became its helmsmen. However she eventually became at odds with the methods used by Captain Arkady and his general lack of respect or compassion for the crew (particularly, that he considered their lives disposible). Eventually she turned on him and was instrumental in helping Lucy mutiny and take control of the ship. After this adventure, she defected and joined the CH-7 and was given a field commission. Mickey appears to be at least partially felinoid panthera pardus (most felinoids being felinoid sapien catus).

Nikki "Shipwrecks" Kitai
Nicolette Kitai served as a cadet amongst the legendary CH-13 along with Amaya and Chaste. While generally considered to be a less than effective soldier, she, along with the other cadets, was instrumental in the defeat of legendary space pirate Gorthon Z’Rxnrz. When Amaya was given her own command, the Squadron decided not to transfer Nikki along with Chaste and Amaya to the CH-9 because they considered her lesbian crush on Amaya to be a liability. Instead she was transferred to the CH-7, which she eventually became captain of, primarily through the mysterious deaths of her crewmates until she was the ranking officer. Because of her constant misfortune, other members of the Squadron often derisively refer to her as “Shipwrecks.”

Sarah Prankha
Of all the crew of the FSS-CH9, Sarah probably wants to be there the least. A brilliant scientist and leading authority on rocket science and physics, her intelligence and technical ability are rivaled only by her libido and hedonistic nature. Born a flower child to hippie parents, she finds herself constantly torn between the worlds of free-love and semi-conductor mechanics. While she is well respected in her field and throughout the Kingdom for her brilliance, her carefree attitude and lack of discretion landed her a court martial and got her “sentenced” to active duty with the Hellcats. While she loves her crewmates, she’d greatly prefer life on firm land to the isolation of deep space. Extended Bio

Tragic obliteration of zombie Ensign and zombie Cabin Boy. Fluffy’s carpet is probably in bad shape, too.
