The Ape with No Name
Ape, as his crew-mates call him, joined on the arid planet Daotis where the crew encountered him single-handedly holding off a band of marauding sand-ghouls while the inhabitants of a village escaped.  Squall's Legacy strafed the ghouls, putting them to flight, and when the ship landed Ape tipped his hat and without a word strode up the boarding ramp.

Thaddeus Watterson
Watterson is by common consent the dullest member of the crew.  When this is pointed out to him, Watterson merely remarks that dull reliability is easily the most desireable trait in a starship pilot.

Avip Adsok
Born into a clan of gene-edited workers on a low-tech colony world, Avip inevitably became part of one of the gangs which ran the black economy outside the reach of the corporation which owned the colony.  After falling foul of a minor gang-lord and with a price of his head and employment opportunities denied,  Avip saw no alternative but to leave the planet and signed on to the first ship which would have him.

Lt. Silas Warner
Warner was raised on a low-tech colony where, centuries before, ferals had been transported to form a tough but biddable workforce.  In the course of a rebellion amongst the colonists a company of the well-known mercenary force, the Vagabond Judges, arrived to deal with the rebels.  Impressed by the equipment and discipline of the mercenaries Warner attached himself to them as a native scout.  He played a significant role in the quelling of the rebellion and in recognition of his service was recruited into the mercenary company. He applied himself to his new life and after more than two decades of service he achieved through spare-time study the qualifications required to join the mercenaries' officer training programme.  He was the first feral to overcome the bias against ferals and become an officer in the Vagabond Judges.  On his discharge from the company, demobbed after a long campaign on Demarillis, Warner retained his loyalty to the company and his old commanding officer and mentor Leys Panvon.  Despite his fearsome appearance and intimidating manner Warner is a cultured individual with an deep interest in current trends in art concrete.  The assumption is that his name was assigned to him on enlistment, but Warner has never confirmed this and answers to no other name.

Zumgog Zopegs
Zopegs is a member of a minor species, the Edokrut, whose Fringe homeworld is under quarantine to contain the quarrelsome natives.  He was born into the lower class of one of the teeming megacities of the Edokrut homeworld and took his place in his local gang - a minor one in the hierarchy of gangs which constitute the only government the Edokrut know.  A failed attempt to boost his standing in the gang gained him a powerful enemy, and with the instinct for survival so pronounced in the Edokrut Zopegs headed for the starport and stowed away.   

Zopegs imagines himself to be an all-round fixer, badass gangster and general hardcase.  In fact he does have a reputation; unfortunately for him it is as an annoying wee bastard.
