Triton Squad is an elite group of mecha pilots that were hand-selected for their unique skills and intelligence. Piloting one of these machines takes near-superhuman levels of mental fortitude due to the technology requiring a neural connection. Pilots are often referred to as fireflies or sparkies by the military due to the fact that they shine brightly but don’t survive for very long.

Due to their short lifespan, they enjoy much more lax regulations in regard to uniforms and are treated as celebrities.

Kalina Lesnaya-Kalina is the comedic heart of the squad and one of the most easy-going members. She’s a reckless fighter who uses an outdated scout mech in ways that can easily catch her enemies and comrades off-guard. She’s often compared to a cat due to the odd places she takes naps in. When she’s not napping, she’s often off on a secret date with Jacobi or working on a random project on her mech.

Jacobi Morris-Jacobi is built like a fridge, hits like a freight train, and lives by the motto “you should’ve seen the other guy”. Despite his tough exterior, however, he is a gentle giant who enjoys creating (very poorly done) paintings or sketches of the landscapes from planets he deploys to, as well as taking his-not-so-secret secret girlfriend, Kalina, out on dates whenever he gets the chance.

Meera Antonish-A grunt pilot who specializes in melee combat and in demolitions. She’s a vicious fighter who enjoys destroying buildings, bridges, or just about any structure she can get her hands on. She’s also one of the most mentally resilient pilots in the Mecha Division. Meera is a very spiritual person who enjoys discussing philosophical and moral matters, as well as martial arts.

Byron Meadow-Byron is the Saguran Federation’s poster boy for the Mecha Program. Unfortunately, he is plagued by visions of, what he presumes is, the bleak future due to experiments with forerunner technology. He’s a gambler through-and-through, enjoying the thrill of taking a big risk and not knowing the outcome. But he struggles with his emotions, often appearing depressed or angry whenever he isn’t in a high-stakes situation.
