Characters: Sleight of Hand

Captain Dractile: A one meter tall insectoid cyborg. He is highly intelligent and a good strategist.

Zes: A humanoid called a Oxzation from the planet Zaten in the Jamala Lesser galaxy which is the sister galaxy of Jamala Greater in the Jamala galactic cluster which contains 39 galaxies. These sister galaxies are at the heart of the cluster which accounts for its name. Zaten was colonized by the Space Ox Ship 61 in the Oxenian Year 8,306,111. The current year in which story one of Sleight of Hand takes place is 200,000 years after the Space Ox Ship 61 colonized Zaten. The current year is called Jamala Year 410,807 by most spacefaring species in the Jamala Galactic Cluster. The colonization by humanoids of Space Ox Ship 61 is ancient history to Zes and other humanoids in Jamala. Approximately 72 distinct humanoid species exist in Jamala, and many have names that are variations of the Oxenian name. Zes is an average size humanoid for Jamala at 2 meters tall. He has brown skin, brown eyes, jet black hair, and a slightly elongated head.

Shagaron: a nomadic marsupial species from the Bortu galaxy and Zes's wife. She is a little taller than Zes. She was raised on a nomadic fleet of star ships and met Zes when Sleight of Hand was repossessing a ship for them. They fell in love and Shagaron joined the crew. Her family disowned her for leaving their fleet, because she was one of their best leaders.

Gail: A rogue Okti. She arrived in Jamala by a causeway network. She abandoned her Okti roots to live among biological beings. As a pure AI species, most Okti wish to eliminate all biological life in the universe.
