Gunstar Five Generals
The Five Great Generals are the joint chiefs of staff in command of the Gunstar Defense Line. Autochthon's outer hull is divided into five portions, each named after one of the old elements of Gaia and each commanded by one of the greatest military minds the Gunstar has ever known. The Five Generals act as the executive branch to the Deliberative's legislative branch; they answer to the Deliberative as a whole, but each general wields so much personal power that they are effectively the five most powerful people in Autochthonia.
Fire: General Merela Cain
Callsign: "Klave"
First among equals within the Five Generals, General Cain is the total package; a brilliant strategist, a cunning politician, and a formidable warrior at personal arms. She is loved by few, hated by many, but respected by almost everyone. Among the generals it is believed that Narikon can outfight her, Haddon can out-schmooze her, and Tamuz can out-plan her, but none of them can match her at all three at once. Considered to be cold and remote, Cain's personal life is nevertheless the subject of much attention, in both her affair with one of the chief gods of Autochthonia and her daughter, Kaneko Cain.
Earth: General Saul Narikon
Callsign: "Sunny"
The oldest surviving Dawn caste, Saul Narikon is one of the only men who remembers the first Primordial War. Taciturn and laconic (re: "drunk and cranky"), Narikon would by all rights be the chief of the five generals based on seniority, were it not for his habit of angering the Deliberative every time he appears in front of them. Many feel that Narikon's career has stalled; the old general can rise no higher, but neither can he retire. Many people expect him to go out in a sudden blaze of glory one of these years.
Wood: General Mathias Haddon
He of the "hot and cold running interns,"
