Commander L'zfer, a Devil (member of the H'lspau race, an extremely tough, superintelligent species otherwise known as the Hellspawn). The Demon Wars lasted ten years and cost millions of sentient lives before the Devils were eventually defeated by the Galactic Friendship and confined to their homeworld. L'zfer's surprise assignment to Eagle created immediate tension among the crew, many of whom are from the Outer Colonies which suffered horribly under Hellspawn occupation.

Ensign Kendra Amoha, Vega Colonist, navigation officer. Dubbed a "Nightstalker" by other crew members. Possesses telepathic abilities as a result of Hellspawn experimentation. As with many Outer Colony crew members, Kendra joined Space Navy to "pay back" the debt they owe the Friendship for freeing them from Hellspawn rule.

Security Chief "Byron," member of the Zedun race. The Zedun were created by the Hellspawn as a food source and were designed to be mindless, yet they possess sentient brain pods that can be transferred to newly grown bodies, granting them virtual immortality. No one knows where the brain pods originated. Only a few humans seem able to communicate with the Zedun, who have no power of speech.

Chief Engineer MacDougal, Earthman. Was part of the Friendship task force that annihilated the Devil fleet at the battle of Proxima Centauri (known to the Hellspawn as Krell's Rift).

Admiral Kena, Space Navy Administration. Part of a secret conspiracy, along with other high-ranking human officers, determined to restart a war against the Hellspawn.
