Bridge Crew

Summary

The bridge crew consists of five primary officers. Captain Quinn is the Silver Hawk's ranking officer. The Duro CO is well known for his legendary piloting skills and his lethal accuracy as a gunner, and is also an expert sensor operator. His customized command station incorporates a full piloting console, as well as a heads up gunnery display and raw sensor readouts. From this station, Captain Quinn can take complete control of the Silver Hawk's piloting and sensor functions, as well as remotely operate the ship's weaponry systems.

Commander Tessadrone is the MDPC's Executive Officer, and the Silver Hawk's second-in-command. A Givin by race, Tessadrone amply fulfils his species' reputation as formidable astrogators. Eradash is also a talented gunner, and is in generally charge of coordinating the Silver Hawk's gunnery crews. The XO's duties also include managing boarding operations, tracking enemies and situational hazards, and effecting damage control. His command station features direct links to the navigation and astrogation system, which Tessadrone uses to calculate hyperspace vectors at an incredible speed. An R2 unit programmed with emergency navigation data is always on standby two meters away. The remainder of the XO's station is equipped with a holographic gunnery display, with comm lines directly to the gun wells and airlocks. Eradash can view the gunners and boarders on these monitors. From this station, he may also take control of any weapon on the ship. A small console below the monitors houses the backup controls for both the ray and particle shields.

Lieutenant Mebbun is the Silver Hawk's shield operator, and is stationed to Tessadrone's right. Mebbun's primary shield control hardware is superior to Commander Tessadrone's backup unit, but the Givin's natural talent for calculating deflection angles usually matches the Lieutenant's better equipment. Mebbun is also the bridge leader for situations where Quinn and Tessadrone are not present.

The three remaining primary bridge crewers are all Mon Calamari. Midshipman Isavul is the sensor/communications operator. Her station is to the left of XO Tessadrone's. Isavul is in charge with monitoring sensors and comm lines, and feeding any relevant data or audio to XO Tessadrone.

Midshipman Krell is the Silver Hawk's backup pilot, and is positioned to the right of, and slightly below, Captain Quinn's control station. When Captain Quinn is piloting the ship, it is Midshipman Krell's sole duty to mirror his superior's movements on his piloting station, in the event that Quinn suddenly passes over full helm control. It took weeks of frayed nerves before Midshipman Krell was able to follow Captain Quinn's rapid, complex maneuvers with any degree of accuracy. The young Mon Calamari learned to dread the Duro command "D'tash!", and the instant feedback from his own piloting yokes. Fortunately, Captain Quinn eventually worked out a system of familiar tradeoff trajectories so that Midshipman Krell could build into his own maneuvers more smoothly. Quinn tries to give Krell as much forewarning as he can, but in the heat of combat, the Mon Calamari pilot must be prepared to sieze control at a second's notice.
