	HMS Hippocrates [Played by Jerry Marty] The HMS Hippocrates is a Hegemonic medical ship which crashed under mysterious circumstances before the fall of the Hegemony. Its experimental AI unit still claims to be on active duty in the Hegemonic Skyguard. After its would-be salvagers and the refugees from Pierogi were all forced to addict themselves to the Kaufman Process as an alternative to total annihilation, Hippocrates formed them into a provisional crew and set out to find the cure... Captain Eva Thorssen (Shoshana Alexandra von Torsten) [Played by Kate Mahoney] The youngest child of a Duke of Highguard, Shoshana finagled her way into an off-planet education on New Light, and then into Dr Kye's archaeological expedition (under the assumed name of Eva Thorssen), in an attempt to escape-- at least for a while-- the dynastic politics of her homeworld. Ace [Played by Peter Gast] Ace is a scoundrel, a peerless pilot, and a constant source of dizzying metaphors. A refugee from The Well and Captain of the Exotic Dancer, Ace has seen the darkest corners of the Inworlds but nothing as exciting flying as the HMS Hippocrates. Ace is fiercely loyal to members of his crew, and as long as Kayta and Maury are around, he'll be a regular on the show. Ace dislikes all drugs including the Chartreuse which mitigates the Kaufman degeneration. Cassandra Lyrae [Played by Genevieve Bujold] Cassandra Lyrae is a famous painter of Hegemonic times. Undergoing the Kaufman treatment for the degenerative nerve condition that blinded her, Cassandra was trapped aboard the Hippocrates when it crashed. She now finds herself an adventurer against her will, but spends most of her time creating new works of art. While art connesieurs past and present admire her paintings as works of art, her crewmates seem to mostly value them for their prophetic symbolism. The trials an artist must endure... Grimblemaury (Maury) [Played by Charles Hope] Grimblemaury, Prince of Cerin, known as Maury for short, was the only obvious non-Human in the crew at the beginning of the run. A breed of Uplift known as a Jellical, he's been kicking around the starlanes as an engineer for about 30 years, since leaving his home planet of Tinara. Older (experientially) and less idealistic than most of the crew, he acts as a brake on some of their wilder plans, while keeping the ship in top working order. James "Jim" Powell [Played by Tom Giordano] A Hegemonic Explorer scout who stowed away on the Hippocrates in the days of the old hegemony, Jim, like Janzur awoke to find his civilization fallen. He now works tirelessly to fulfill the ideals of the scouts and to restore the Linked Worlds to the way they were in the days of the Hegemony. Katya Lavolar (Lordschild Katarina Silence) [Played by Andrea Humez] Katya was originally one of the Exotic Dancer's crew, though it has since been revealed that she is one of the (many) children of Lord Stannis of Stannis' Law. She is the descendent of the Normarche Hegemons, one of the three bloodlines created to save humanity from the Flames. Katya's impressive psi abilities (most notably telepathy and telekenisis) compensate for her physical fraility and her inability to communicate verbally. Loyal, passionate, and occasionally comic, Katya pursues her personal quest for identity as she joins with the crew of the Hippocrates to fight for humanity's future. Kith of Creek [Played by Heidi Burgiel] One of the famed Wisewomen of the rural planet of Creek, Kith is a trained healer and mediator. She's been a valuable assistant in research on the Kaufman Process which keeps the crew alive at the cost of their freedom. With the fall of the government on the Well Kith left the Hippocrates in hopes of employing her diplomatic training to the benefit of the Well's lower classes. Then she came back again. Leonara Sharravelis "Sharra" Wade [Played by Adina Adler] The daughter of a powerful political family in New Light, Sharra was trained in ettiquette, politics, and law. Unfortunately, she found engineering much more interesting, and so left her home to go kicking about the galaxy on starships, much to the chagrin of her mother. Sharra is a open and friendly, with a tendency to get caught up in the latest cool technology that passes her way. Martan [Played by Robert Sean Leonard] Martan is one of the survivors from Pierogi, which, combined with prophetic hints implying that he is destined to sacrifice himself for the greater good, make him habitually melancholy. It turns out he has both good sense and humor, when he's not busy being depressed. Martan's telekinetic abilities are useful for making sheilds and enhancing his combat skills. Unfortunately, using them is painful. Fortunately, that never seems to stop him. Max Sinclair [Played by Robert Ringrose] Max grew up on the well, a detective where people often lose things. Supernaturally good at finding things, he and his investigations are often overlooked by everyone. Wanderlust, and a the knowledge that he would eventually find something on the Well that someone really didn't want found, drove him to help Ace's original departure on board the Exotic Dancer. He enjoys knocking around the universe, seeing new sights; the post of sensor operator came naturally to him. Mirris R Auden [Played by Rose Martin] After fleeing from the Well, Mirris hid in plain sight as a Hippocrates crew member, using her psi abilities to insert herself into everyone's memories as if she had always belonged. When she tried to come clean and drop the influence, however, she nearly lost her mind; only the quick and selfless intervention of the crew kept her alive. With only a hazy sense of self and shattered memories, Mirris is now eager to redeem her former actions. Deeply loyal to the ship and crew, she employs her eclectic talents in service to their common mission. Lord Ruehan V'Dalari [Played by Brian Litofsky] Ruehan V'Dalari, diplomat and courtier, has been part of various governments in the outworlds for years. This has included Crux and others, but mostly recently, was on the Farseer's Council of Pierogi at the time of that planet's catastrophe. Skilled in the ways of governing and having powerful mental abilities, it was later revealed that Lord V'Dalari is really a 140-year-old member of a race of psychic vampires called the Vertak. From a system outside of the linked worlds, he is Heir to the House of Dalari, and now is a full member of the Hippocrates crew. Dr. Sophia Symphony-Hayes [Played by Sara Verilli] Dr Sophia Symphony-Hayes was a brilliant, perhaps bordering on mad, nanotechnology scientist in Hegemonic times. One of the handful of crew members who were essentially swept forward in time via the Kaufman tubes, she now finds herself in a world that's grimmer and less advanced to the one of her youth. She's also found a young man who may be her descendent in the loveable rogue, Ace. Ujiie Akito (Aki) [Played by Eon Harry] Dr. Voriig Kye [Played by Derrick Kong] Dr. Voriig Kye is an ambitious archaeologist, looking to dig up (literally as well as figuratively) keys to the past. His original expedition led to the reactivation of the HMS Hippocrates and since then he has joined the crew in their adventures across known space. He still maintains an independent streak, however, and maintains a role as the "Loyal Opposition." Departed Cast Members Jayla [Played by Andrew H Grant] Born on the tiny outworld planet of Pierogi, Jayla was raised to be hegemon of her tribe, until they were wiped out by a rival tribe which she then wiped out in revenge. Intending to make a penance to the Farseer, she was instead sent with a handful of other outworlders to "Save All People" from imminent destruction. Since then Jayla has learned that she is a descendant the Telemon Hegemons of one of the three bloodlines engineered by a now passed on race of aliens to use their psionic gifts to protect the peoples of the linked worlds from destruction. Jayla & Janzur took a hiatus from the Hippocrates at the end of season 3. Elite Janzur Therive [Played by Eon C Harry] One of the Elite Guards who served the Hegemons of old as "hands and eyes," Janzur Therive is a fearsome bodyguard and one of the few people in this day and age who can wield a plasma brand. He went into a Kaufmen tube to survive a starship crash in the Ganfrey system, and when he emerged, he found 300 years had passed and his civilization had fallen and all he held dear was gone. Now he works to carry out the Hegemony's purpose, saving the linked worlds from the Flames, and protect the descendants of the Nomarche and Telamon lines, Katya and Jayla. Jayla & Janzur took a hiatus from the Hippocrates at the end of season 3. Anataya Mikhaelova of Cemla (Anya) [Played by Mikka Goldberg] Formerly an Armsman (bodyguard) to the Sixteenth and last Farseer of Pierogi, Anya was one of the handful sent to the Ogral (Pierogi Obrital Spacestation) with the mission of saving humanity from final destruction. Anya is fiercely protective of her mission, those sent with her by the Farseer, and what remains of Pierogi. Anya parted ways with the crew after receiving a message from Dmitri. (January) Sook [Played by Marleigh Norton] January Sook, or simply Sook, as she prefers to be called, became the first appointed officer of the provisional crew when Hippocrates made her the head of the Computer department. A hacker of unparalleled skill, she seems more comfortable with machines than with people. Known for her sarcasm and vocal outrage at her kidnapping, those who do manage to win her friendship find her to be fiercely loyal. The reason for this became clearer in Season Two, when it was revealed that she was actually an alien from a strongly hierarchical race known as the Hive. Sook died saving the rest of the crew on the Well at the beginning of Season Three, but what does that really mean for a member of the Hive?

The Sublime Xanthippe [Played by Pier Sun Ho] The Sublime Xanthippe and her tiger, Padira, were the stars of the zero-g circus, The Traveling Cavalcade of Wonder. They were stranded at the beginning of the series when the rest of the circus was destroyed in the attack on Pierogi, and they joined the crew of the Hippocrates to survive the Decider Yellow-line weapons. Xanthippe remained behind with Padira when the crew ran afoul of the Great Omphalos Dustworm at the end of the first season, allowing the rest of the crew to return safely.
