expert aboard her father's starship: the UCASF Flagship Leviathan. Kathryn is your main point of contact during your mission on Cronus, and currently, your main squeeze. Kura Akkaraju Throughout her military career, Kura earned tremendous praise for her unequalled marksmanship, tactical brilliance, and perseverance. She managed her grief over her mother's death with the same unfaltering determination that distinguished her as a soldier. Her abiding anger at her father stems from the knowledge that she would have done the same thing in his position. After military school, Kura fell in love with Sanjuro, drawn to his whimsical, carefree approach to life, just as he was drawn to her self-mastery and resolve. Toshiro Deeply affected by the loss of his parents, Toshiro, Sanjuro's brother, was a sullen, withdrawn child who was more comfortable in his own highly active imagination than in the company of others. He envied Sanjuro's popularity and rugged self-assurance, but never became dangerously jealous until Sanjuro and Kura fell in love.
