Commanders of Spaceship 33 “Saunders”

Set after the alien resurrection event, several years after and the formation of several fleets and space pirates In the year 2899, as the United Colonial Fleet convened an emergency large-scale strategic summit to accelerate the mass-production of anti-xenomorph weaponry and containment systems, the growing biomass of parasitic alien organisms—later classified as Xenomorphs—had already overrun multiple outer colonies and turned entire planetary ecosystems into hostile breeding grounds. Amid the escalating crisis, Spaceship 33 “Saunders,” a heavily modified multi-role patrol cruiser, received classified technical intelligence detailing the aliens’ rapid expansion patterns and attack vectors. Under the joint command of Captain Kay and Executive Officer Naomi, the vessel was immediately reassigned to defensive patrol duty in the outer reaches of the Sol system, tasked with securing the strategic approaches around Neptune. Kay, the ship’s charismatic and high-energy captain, remains the living embodiment of Saunders’ bold, forward-leaning doctrine. With her long blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, and larger-than-life presence, she leads from the front—often personally manning the bridge or boarding craft with her signature green pulse pistol raised high. Loud, optimistic, and fiercely protective of her crew, Kay treats every engagement as both a duty and a spirited contest, insisting that even in the face of extraterrestrial horror, the principles of fair engagement and crew morale must never be abandoned. Beside her stands Naomi, the cool-headed vice-commander and master gunner. Short-haired, freckled, and quietly intense, Naomi rarely wastes words. Whether seated at the primary fire-control station or gripping her heavy green-and-white assault cannon, she delivers precise, long-range fire that has already earned her a reputation across the fleet. While Kay rallies the crew with booming encouragement, Naomi simply nods once and opens fire—her calm, results-driven nature the perfect counterbalance to her captain’s exuberance. Their current mission around Neptune was intended as a relatively quiet perimeter watch. That illusion shattered when a cluster of merchant vessels appeared on sensors, transmitting distress signals... only to suddenly accelerate and ram the Saunders’ outer defensive screen. As the collision alarms blared and hull breaches flared across the outer decks, a second wave of unidentified craft emerged from the debris—space pirates, well-armed and clearly using the merchant ships as disposable battering rams to force an engagement. Now, with Xenomorph biomass reports still flooding the fleet channels and hostile pirates boarding the outer hull, Kay and Naomi stand back-to-back in the corridor of their battered ship: one grinning with fierce determination, the other silent and deadly focused, both ready to defend Spaceship 33 “Saunders” against whatever comes next.
