Captain Jean-Luc Picard would remain the mature, steadfast, honourable man, with years of experience and strong morals, except when it comes to Beverly Crusher--the two had an affair prior to her husbands death, something they both still carry a lot of guilt about and has strained their once tight friendship.
Commander William Riker is actually an alien adopted by human parents. He has assimilated easily into human culture and doesn't feel the least bit ostracised or left out due to his unknown origins. Ambitions, eager and hot-headed, he is in need of seasoning.
Commander Beverly Crusher is a passionate healer and gifted surgeon. If it wasn't for the opportunities the Enterprise offered she would've turned down the assignment, due to her fraught history with Picard and the emotional baggage the two share.
Lt. Commander Deanna Troi is the Chief Counsellor and Diplomatic Liaison, as well as serving as Second Officer. A warm and sensual woman, she is very politically savvy with an abundance of knowledge about alien races and has an ear for languages--her telepathic abilities also prove very useful.
Lieutenant Data is something of a 'message in a bottle', used by an alien race to save the memories of a lost Federation colony, he has access to a vast abundance of information and experiences, unfortunately they are too complex for his circuitry to fully comprehend.
Lieutenant Selar is the ship's Chief Engineer. Organised, meticulous and methodical, she runs a tight department and is never one to pad her estimates. She harbours a deep fascination for Data, seeing him as both an engineering marvel and the epitome of what Vulcans strive all their lives to achieve.
Lieutenant Macha Hernandez is tough and feisty, willing to do whatever is needed to keep the crew safe. Her harsh childhood has made her somewhat detached from her emotions and her femininity--roaming rape gangs saw to that. With sharp instincts and quick reflexes, she often acts without thinking things through first.
Lieutenant JG Geordi La Forge is a dedicated officer and loving husband, his spouse is one of the many civilians who live onboard. Despite not wanting to make his husband a widower, he often volunteers for missions and puts himself forward for dangerous assignments--seeking the experience he will need to one day become captain.
Lieutenant Worf is a Klingon officer on an exchange programme with Starfleet, seeking to learn from how they operate and foster greater bonds between the UFP and the Empire. He is a little unsure of their ways or what to make of his new shipmates--especially with so many civilians about.
Leslie Crusher is Beverly's teenage daughter who is a genius by any races standards. She is looking for direction in her life, where she can put her intellect to good use. One thing she does know for certain, she doesn't want to be in Starfleet--blaming it for her father's death--but on its flagship she has the opportunity to see things no one else has before.
