==The Crew of the MSV Scalpel==

Penumbra's flagship, the ''MSV Scalpel'' is only able to operate because of the skill and professionalism of its crew. Those people are as follows:

'''Executive Officer''' - Romnus Kaeso - formerly a Captain in the turian military, Romnus is a fit, active veteran in his late 50s. After serving his time in the Hierarchy, he moved to a para-military vessel, getting a taste for life outside the stifling rules and regulations of his past. Close to Kirroe Tuditan's mother (a ranking member of the Hierarchy), he came aboard the ''Scalpel'' as a favour to her.

'''Chief Helmsman''' - Jennifer "Jinx" Park - a former Systems Alliance Flight Lieutenant, Park has an impressive service record. She was involved in several major engagements of recent years, including the Skyllian Blitz, the Theshaca Raids, the operation on Torfan and the Battle of the Citadel. Grounded after the latter engagement when her ship, the ''SSV Blenheim'', was decommissioned and facing an unknown wait for a new posting, Park chose to take Penumbra's offer of employment and keep flying.

'''Chief Navigator''' - Natalia Roschenko - a former Lieutenant Commander in the Russian Confederation Navy, Natalia resigned her commission after the second time she was passed over for promotion to command of her own vessel. She spent a couple of years writing published articles on naval warfare and served a five year term aboard a Corsair vessel. A consummate professional while on-duty, she has already garnered a reputation for being able to drink just about anyone under the table off-duty.

'''Tactical Operations/Pilot''' - Yarek Patros - [drell pilot, Ora's husband][Pilot of Raptor 2]

'''Tactical Operations/Pilot''' - Ora Patros - [drell pilot, Yarek's wife][Pilot of Raptor 1]

'''Tactical Operations''' - Chandhi Patel -

'''Sensor Operations/Pilot''' - Cassander Nisou - [drell pilot, Ora's brother/Yarek's brother-in-law][Pilot of Umbra 1]

'''Sensor Operations/Command Deck Technician''' -  Rachak Junius - Junius' father had served under Romnus Kaeso and was killed in battle when Rachak was still a boy. Over time his father's former CO became something of a mentor and surrogate father figure, helping him shape his career in the Hierarchy. When his own mandatory term of service was over, it seemed the most natural thing to follow his mentor into Penumbra's employ. A deck officer with skills in sensor operations and particularly minesweeping, he has settled in well to the largely human crew of the ''Scalpel''.

'''Command Deck Technician''' - Lee Tsang - Before joining Penumbra, Tsang was a crew chief aboard a commercial frigate which was attacked by slavers.

'''Command Deck Technician''' - Hanzo Yamazaki - 

'''Engineer''' - Andrea Wombose - an experienced engineer, Andrea has served aboard many civilian vessels over a colourful career spanning more than two decades. A disruptive influence in any crew and harbouring serious issues with authority, Andrea only manages to get new berths because she's really ''that good'' with a spanner and omni-tool. It is largely because of Kane's hands-off management style and regular periods of absence from the ship that the two of them are able to get along amicably.

'''Engineer''' - Theo Wise - the youngest member of the crew, Theo grew up aboard ships and has a natural aptitude for machinery that belies his years.

'''Engineer/Medical Orderly''' - Devin Zheng - A Systems Alliance veteran and engineer, Zheng was also part of the Theschaca Raids, though served aboard a different vessel to Park. He also trained as a medical orderly and assists Yghorl in medbay. A genial and easy-going man, he puts his seemingly endless patience to good use working with Wombose on a daily basis.

'''Mess Chief''' - Abigail Chan - 

'''Requisitions Officer''' - Turo Barsabo - [sleazy volus dude]

'''Pilot''' - Georgios Nisou - [drell pilot, cousin of Ora and Cassander]

'''Pilot/Engineer''' - Demetreia Iannou - [drell pilot, cousin of Yarek]
