The ‘upper management’

Minus Diaf, of course, but these three are responsible for the major decisions on the Little Bird.

Hilariously, Narihl is the only one with real-world experience for the route tLB takes. T-132 is an excellent translator, but he’s fresh out of ‘college’. And Marish is an excellent navigator, but she never got into the Enithian end of the galaxy.

Individual character descriptions are under the cut :)

Likely the one with the most qualificable experience on board, Narihl is the storemaster of the Little Bird.

Narihl was born into the Lowlands Trade Management Association, and he was sorted into a Storemaster position as soon as he finished school. He worked on Enith for a bit over a decade. When the Lowlands Association bartered for pan-galactic support, Narihl was sent to work on a space station. He worked there for a few years, then was transferred to a ship.

Enith’s peace treaty with Teth Tias had Narihl’s work expand. He quickly found himself jumping from one ship to the next, eventually managing a system of storemasters that stretched from Lia to Zornxia.

Who actually recommended him to Diaf is largely a mystery, since Narihl knows entirely too many people.

T-132 is the translator for the Little Bird.

His batch was commissioned following Enith’s peace treaty with Teth Tias, with the explicit purpose of acting as translators and diplomats for Enithian representatives. They all studied Tias culture and linguistics for years, and many of them went on to accompany high ranking Enithian officials, including the Princes Acknowledged.

But, in the time that T-132 was studying, the Umblan planet was discovered. That planet offered up a joint research initiative to the Enithian and Tias governments. T-132 was assigned to the Little Bird, a station that he believes is absolutely beneath him.

Marish is a medical (and general) mystery, and the navigator for the Little Bird!

Seemingly popping into existence in the middle of a currently unexplored solar system, Marish has lived for potentially millions of years. She’s explored most of the area around Umblan space at sub-light speeds. Granted, she did spent most of the travel time hibernating.

Marish was first discovered by the wormhole setup ship manned by Enithians and Umblans. She then became a staple around any and all space stations, ships, and even small transports. The Umblans, new to space travel, were quick to correlate her with the largest members of their species, called islands. When they found that she could learn their language, they instead began to compare her to the Enithians.

She was included in the Umblan’s research initiative, and signed on to the Little Bird. The main problem is finding which rooms she can even fit into…

Image ID: Humans- Two eyes, binocular vision. Red/blue/green color vision. Depth perception and selective focus. About 120-150 degrees of vision.

Atiske- Two sets of compound eyes. Technically also binocular? Blue color vision. Depth perception but no selective focus. Also so. so nearsighted. Around 240-260 degrees of vision.

Corldaxian (common)- Four sets of compound eyes. Vision evil. Red/green color vision. Depth perception but no selective focus, and they're farsighted. Vision is 200 degrees at the front and about 140 at the back, with blind spots at the sides.

Zoronxie- Two eyes, binocular vision. Red/blue color vision. Depth perception, selective focus. BAD astigmatism. Eyes built like a goat and hoo boy is it bad. Vision wraps around for about 220 degrees.

Umblan- Two sets of. compound? eyes? Red/blue/green/ultraviolets. Left set (the eyes at the base of their stalk) has no depth perception but does have selective focus. Right set (the eyes at the top and back of their stalk) has depth perception but no focus. at all. and no color. Degrees of vision are about 50 and 200, respectively.

Tias- Four sets of compound eyes. Green/blue/ultraviolet color vision. Depth perception but no selective focus. A bit over 300 degrees of vision, with a blind spot at the front. End ID.
