New Characters
New Ships
- Peacemaker - This is a large civilian transport ship that Boxey was assigned to shortly after his arrival in the fleet.
- Bifrost - This is the ship of the Midguardians and contains their entire population including any refugees that choose to seek sanctuary with them.
New Groups
- The Midguardians - This religious sect is considered heretics by the majority of the colonies. Their religion (and accompanying gods) are all based around Norse mythology. The book of Edda contains their prophecies and teachings, but it was stricken from the Sacred Scrolls due to it's heretical teachings. The group numbered around 500 when the Colonies were attacked and the entire population escaped aboard the Bifrost to join the rest of the Fleet. Prior to the attack, the Midguardians lived exclusively on Sagittaron where they kept themselves seperate from te rest of the planet's population. Their isolationist attitude ended when they were inspired by the bold actions of Tom Zarek, and they continued seeking fair treatment on their home colony until the attack.
