Individual Characters in T-Space
Currently T-Space stories can be grouped into three eras:
- First steps (circa 2070) when man develops an effective warp drive and starts exploring the nearer stars. (Alpha Centauri series)
- Jason's era (circa 2090s) warp ships have become affordable to well-off groups and individuals, and uncontrolled exploration is beginning
- First contact (circa 2120) planets around the nearer stars are well-settled, there are a few colonies at the fringe, and we're starting to realize there are other star-farers around (The Chara Talisman, The Reticuli Deception, The Eridani Convergence)
Because a human lifespan easily overlaps these, it's possible that a given character may show up in stories in different eras (aged appropriately, of course).
First Steps
- Dr. Algernon Brenke - inventor of the warp drive (full name mentioned in Reticuli Deception, ch. 34)
Associated with Alpha Centauri Expedition
- Charles Kemmerer - (Deputy) Director of Quarantine Facility on Luna, successor to Darwin
- Grainger - original lead exobiologist, injured in training accident
- Wallace - original backup exobiologist, en route to Enceladus
Alpha Centauri Expedition
- George Darwin - lead (exo)biologist (Heinlein/planet-c)
- Franklin Drake - Mission commander (Heinlein) (Think Benjamin Sisko on ST:DS9, (Avery Brooks))
- Elizabeth Sawyer - 2IC, geologist/planetologist, pilot of the Robert A. Heinlein, planet-c, sw (Think Astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, perhaps)
- Xiaojing Wu - microbiologist (Heinlein) planet-k?
- Ganesh Patel - captain/pilot of the Chandrasekhar, planet-c
- Jennifer Singh - botanist (Chandrasekhar/planet-c), sw
- Peter Finley - geologist, Canada (Chandrasekhar/planet-c), sw
- Fred Tyrell - geologist (Chandradrasekhar/Anderson/planet-k), sw
- Ulrika Klaar - biologist (Krechet/planet-k), sw
- Dmitri Tsibliev - captain/pilot of the Krechet, planet-k
- Krysansky - medical doctor (Krechet) sw
- Roger Dejois - Krechet - French biologist/ecologist?) sw
- Geoff Tracey - captain/pilot of the Anderson (nod to Jeff Tracy of Thunderbirds, created by Gerry Anderson)
- Greg Vukovich - astrophysicist (Anderson)
- Simms - meteorologist (Anderson?)
- Naomi Maclaren engineer, (Anderson), sw (Australian-American?) (Think Pal Kenzy (Linda Newton) on Star Cops)
Sawyer's World
All land aboard the Anderson
- Previously landed on Kakuloa
- Elizabeth Sawyer - 2IC, geologist/planetologist, pilot of the Robert A. Heinlein, planet-c, sw
- Jennifer Singh - botanist (Chandrasekhar/planet-c), sw
- Peter Finley - geologist, Canada? (Chandrasekhar/planet-c), sw
- Fred Tyrell - geologist (Chandradrasekhar/Anderson/planet-k), sw
- Ulrika Klaar - biologist (Krechet/planet-k), sw
- Personal first landing
- Krysansky - medical doctor (Krechet) sw
- Roger Dejois - Krechet - French biologist/ecologist?) sw
- Naomi Maclaren engineer, (Anderson), sw
Characters on Earth
- From the first landing
- Franklin Drake - Commodore, in command of the overall mission until return
- George Darwin - exobiologist, former Director of the Lunar Quarantine Lab
- Lunar Quarantine Facility personnel
- Grainger - exobiologist, designated lead exobiologist for first mission but replace by Darwin after injury
- unnamed yet - Base security officer
