Captain/Player:	Enba Rezza/Bel

The Izumo-class battleship 'Uzume' is of Orb make, originally produced by Morgeonroete for the Orb National Defense Force. She's one of the ships that Terminal acquired from Orb during a period of a good relations, and her technology is put to good use under Captain Enba Rezza. The Uzume is equipped with modified Zentradi technology to work well with other ships of the Magallanica Defense Force, but her primary armament is Orb-homemade: the Lohengrin Positron Blaster Cannons. Other weapons include retractable beam cannons, missile launchers, and physical CIWS, and she's capable of carrying a large number of mobile suits. While the ship is theoretically capable of splitting into modules, the Uzume rarely does, making use of other technology to get into and out of orbit.

Bridge Crew

Captain Enba Rezza

Once executive officer to Eight Orlodhari on the 'Ra Mari' and 'Ra Mari II', Enba Rezza has since assumed their own command. They are calm and collected, the ideal officer in many respects--but their spymaster ways look different in an active Captain. They look three steps ahead, and don't say much until they reach the fourth. Their leadership skills are sharp, but they focus more on strategy and tactics than charisma. While they come from Earth, they see no issue with an organization primarily concerned with Space, and indeed would argue that a holistic approach to the Earth Sphere is necessary to succeed in the modern world. Talk of a 'Blue Earth' annd other arguments like it stem from emotion too much for Enba's sake. Having stepped out from behind the curtain, they have adapted to being open authority, and with the assistance of their own XO Licia Chovan, they aim to make the Izumo-class 'Uzume' a major asset to Magallanica and Terminal.

Commander Licia Chovan

Energetic and warm, Licia Chovan easily conceals a thoughtful and contemplative nature with a cheerful demeanor. While for a while she was used to being disliked--and can still fall back on retreating kinds of behavior--the time since she was a pilot for Neo Zeon seems a lot longer ago now, and gives her a lot less trouble in the Magallanica Defense Force than it did in Londo Bell and the Federation. She doesn't have to deal with NUNE as much in her personal life--and she prefers it that way. She's a talented pilot in a mobile suit or at the helm of a ship, and she believes not just in her own ideals anymore but her friend the Admiral Orlodhari's. A better future for Zeon and the Earth Sphere seems to be on the horizon, and she believes that with her Captain Rezza, she can help to seize it.

Lieutenant Gatra Merrs

Forthcoming
IC Information
Full Name:	Gatra Merrs
Gender:	Female (She/Her)
Species:	Natural
Age (Birthdate):	33 (0069)
Hair Colour:	Brown
Eye Colour:	Green
Height	5'5"
Job:	Patient Operations Officer
Homeland:	Metis College Colony
Awakening:	1

Getra Merrs was a teacher before the incident at Metis in 0097, where she was rescued by the 'Ra Mari II' with her wife despite injuries. Kind and patient, she's found that her experience instructing young people has translated well to managing officers aboard ships, though it's occasionally funny to see which techniques still work. She's driven in her work, intent upon her mission, and was chosen by Enba Rezza as Operations Officer for the 'Uzume'. In her posting, she will save others like she was saved.

Lieutenant Madoran Uehara

Forthcoming
IC Information
Full Name:	Madoran Uehara
Gender:	Male (He/Him)
Species:	Natural
Age (Birthdate):	24 (0075)
Hair Colour:	Blue
Eye Colour:	Dark Gray
Height	5'11"
Job:	Avid Weapons Officer
Homeland:	The United Emirates of Orb
Awakening:	1

Madoran Uehara is a son of Orb, but his life has taken him all over the Earth Sphere, eventually to Magallanica. The trait he's most known for is his encyclopedic knowledge of weaponry, from the smallest beam pistol to the cannons on a battleship--and the fact that he's very willing to share that knowledge. He's the sort of man who complains about an unrealistic sci-fi movie but enjoys it anyway. He's also the Weapons Officer aboard the MDF battleship 'Uzume', where he's landed after his time in the Three Ships Alliance since the failed invasion of Orb. Loyal but mouthy, Lieutenant Uehara is an asset to his crew.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Crosi Teras

Forthcoming
IC Information
Full Name:	Crosi Teras
Gender:	Female (She/Her)
Species:	Natural
Age (Birthdate):	20 (0079)
Hair Colour:	Red
Eye Colour:	Purple
Height	5'0"
Job:	Sharp Communications Officer
Homeland:	Australia, OCU
Awakening:	1

A sharp and cynical woman, Crosi Teras originally hails from northern Australia in the OCU. She's used to moving around, though; as a young girl, she found her family relocated by the Manhunters to Sweetwater. She accordingly has strong opinions on Char Aznable and Neo Zeon, as well as rebel movements in general, which made it a surprise to her family when she joined up with the former rebels of the Magallanica Defense Force. Now out of officers' school, she's accepted her first posting on Captain Rezza's 'Uzume'. As the 'voice' of the ship on-shift, she is not at all hesitant to share her concerns with the Captain for better or worse.

Other Info

The Uzume is a fairly typical ship of its type, though with a handpicked crew from the former XO of the flagship. It lacks a lot of the conveniences the Ra Mari II takes for granted, such as very large cabins and artificial gravity, but has very advanced weaponry and defensive systems. It also has a heavily upgraded sensor suite and is suitable to missions involving detailed surveys.

Uniform

The Magallanica Defense Force Uniform consists of a dark teal jacket with black trousers, with a deep pink undershirt. On the left sleeve is the spiral of Magallanica; on the left breast is a rank insignia, as well as a few other places. Certain ranks and positions have variants on this uniform; for example, pilots might look different, or Eight Orlodhari's Admiral uniform is formal and distinct.

(If you have ideas to make the uniform cooler, let me know!)
