Har-Hi became the very first Dai-Than joining the Academy. He graduated with the highest honors and was promoted to full Luitenant by the Admiral of the Fleet himself. Har-Hi is a natural-born warrior with tremendous fighting skills. Even though he traditionally prefers bladed weapons, especially his dual Dai Swords that he carries on his back, he is an expert in virtually every weapon. He carries a vast arsenal of bladed weapons, grenades, missile launchers, and blasters everywhere he goes. Har-Hi is a grandmaster in the ancient martial arts of the Dai Than and mastered many other martial arts as well. Like all Dai Than he is about three times as strong as a comparable human being and in general has a much higher reaction speed. The only person who ever bested him in bladed or hand to hand combat was Eric Olafson . Har-Hi considers Eric/Erica more than a friend but a blood brother. He is the XO (Executive Officer / 1st Luitenant of the USS Tigershark ).
3)Narth Human[]
Due to the utter lack of individual names, there was and is always a big confusion when talking to a Narth .

He was conceived to investigate Humans and the human condition. Therefore he was given an approximation of a human body. He was the first Narth ever to join the Fleet Academy and became best friends with Eric Olafson. During an attack, Narth almost died, and to be saved Eric acted as a vessel for his essence as his body was destroyed. (The Essence called Hughavh ) This bonded the two on the deepest possible level. Narth has tremendous psionic powers and can use all forms of Psionics such as telekinesis, teleportation and telepathy. It has been shown that his powers grew to enormous levels (due to his connection to Erica (and the Dark One ). Narth is permanently connected to all that is Narth and thus shares the intellect and the knowledge of an entire ancient species. Narth graduated with the highest honors and was promoted to Full Luitenant. He is officially the OPS Officer ofthe Tigershark , but like all Officers of this crew, he shares many other responsibilities.
