Name: Gordon “Gordo” Hernandez
Age: Early 30’s
Rank and Branch: Petty Officer Third Class, US Navy

Short History: As the eldest son in a large Mexican family, Gordon was responsible for helping his mother around the house and helping to raise his siblings, and from here his love of cooking grew.

This dream quickly changed when he was assigned to the SGC. He has since served on a number of off-world bases prior to his current assignment.

He has a particular interest in incorporating meat and vegetables native to the Vedas Galaxy into his dishes, with both spectacular and abysmal results.

He is currently the second-in-charge of the Vedic Expedition commissary, assisting the Head Chief (Sergeant First Class, US Army), and serves as the Admiral’s private chef.

[Aleksandr Kamarov]

Name: Aleksandr Kamarov
Age: Early 40s
Rank and Branch: Starshina (translation: sergeant major), Russian Federation Air Force

Short History:Born in the resort town of Gelendzhik near the Black Sea, Alek knew there was little future ahead of him at home and enlisted in what was then the Soviet Air Force. He'd always been good with his hands and was quite mechanically minded, as was trained as an apprentice and journeyman engineer.

Between 1987 and 2001 served with numerous air force regiments, becoming a qualified maintenance chief for the Su-27, MiG-29 and MiG-31 air superiority fighters. Be was recruited into the Russian Stargate program in 2001 as a technical specialist, and was one of the few to escape the destruction os the RFS Korolev during the Battle of the Ori Supergate. He transferred to the Delian Expedition as a senior engineer for three year, before returning to Earth where was split his time between Homeworld Command and Russia. He has most recently been assigned to the USS Shiva as a command chief.

Being one of the few Russians to work at the SGC, Kamarov considers himself to be a fish out of water, with his broken English often making communication difficult. As such he is often seen as quiet and withdrawn, a man of few words often grumbling under his breath in his native tongue. Stress is not something the engineer handles well. His approach to technology to to first try and fix it, then try again, try a third time, then find the largest and heaviest wrench he can and beat said technology into submission. His frustration often boils over into an abusive bilingual rant, directed at the cause of his anger, interspersing his efforts to fix whatever is broken. This approach more often than not leads to the problem only being made worst, but old habits do die hard.

[Ashley Tulas]

Name:
Ashley Tulas
Age:
35
Rank and Branch:
 Captain, USAF


Short History:
Born to a good family in Baltimore, Maryland, Ashley started her medical career stitching and bandaging her stuffed animals. Growing up right in the footprint of Johns Hopkins University, she knew what school she was aiming for and knew she'd settle for nothing else. She graduated around the middle of her class and completed her internship/residency period at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.

Ashley's path to the service began while treating a young Air Force veteran, a man still recovering from the injuries that led to his medical discharge. She wanted to understand why someone would put themselves in the line of fire, risking life and limb, and so looked into it with the closest recruiting office.

Which led to the extensive screening and process to receive a direct commission, and Commissioned Officer Training. At the end of the five weeks, she was getting it.

After two previous duty stations,seven years of service and being chosen as Chief Medical Officer of the USS Shiva, CPT Tulas found what she was trying to understand about that veteran.

She still has one small stuffed dog, which has been to one war zone with her. Became friends with the "Hamrick-Warren's" during the lead-up to the expedition, but if anybody calls her a certain term for a woman with close gay friends, she will be jumping down that person's throat.

Name: Astarte

Age: 167 in human reckoning, but among her own people she is seen as young

Rank and Branch: Primary Brood Female of World

Short History: Astarte was born among a clutch of several hundred Lyrians in the warm and balmy southern breeding grounds of World. She grew up being groomed for the position of Primary Brood Female, her mother determined that one of her daughters would be the next Primary and Astarte was one of the strongest of them. Her mother succeeded, as the young female proved herself both made for egg laying, and able to take the head off of those who displeased her.

Astarte made her place after the death due to illness of her great-grandmother, the previous Primary. Though her youth led to some grumbles, the thousand eggs she laid after her first breeding with Lusifus, the Primary Male, showed that the Balance favored her as the new Primary Brood Female. And of course the Balance also favored the sudden death of Lusifus, which had nothing to do with the rough way her great-grandfather bred her.

Now she faces the greatest danger to her people with the arrival of the Shiva, desperate to stop them from leaving and upsetting the Balance without the sort of slaughter that would displease Mahadev.

Short History: Elliot Cowden is a Boston born and raised man, he quickly made a career in pollitics, more importantly creating a role as an advisor to several important people in very important places. He worked along side James Coolidge when the Atlantis Expedition was being organized and eventually deployed and after a few years took Coolidges place as on the IOA; just in time to see the deployment of the Delta Expedtion happen. 

Cowden fully supported the Atlantis Expedtion and saw the potential for humanity to broaden its horizons, but when it came time for the Delta Expedition he took some convings. Cowden firmly believed that it was too soon for another Expedtion and did not like the idea of having to fund yet another large project, but eventually he gave him and agreed. When the Vedic Expedtion came to the table, he told the President his veiws on the subject; funding two seperate expeditions in two different galaxies was expensive enough on top of the already costly SGC. His opinions were waved aside as the President gave his approval for yet another project. Now with the return of Captain Oxford, Cowden is eager to hear about the progress of the newest galaxy humans have been to and wants to see if it is worthy of being continued.
