Cast Of Characters

Defender Zik is a space adventurer and CEO of Zik Enterprises. Always the paragon, he's utterly fearless - a trait which can lead him into trouble!

Amelia the Firebird is a former prisoner of Queen Elcyra's infamous prison planet. A stalwart friend and a fearsome foe, she's the copilot of Zik's ship the Temerity. In Episode 6, she learns that she's Trent's half-sister!

Trent Quickdraw is another former resident of the prison planet, rescued by Zik and half-brother to Amelia. He's a crack shot with firearms and mans the weapons post on the Temerity. He doesn't say much unless he has to, but he's very loyal to his friends.

Tanaka Chi Kodiak is a Chadee (uplifted chimpanzees) and an old friend of Zik's. An excellent pilot and a fierce fighter, he was Shogun of the Kodiak Chadee clan. He now serves aboard the Temerity after his clan was slaughtered by Jairian terrorists.

A childhood friend of Zik's, James Anchor is CEO of Kodiak Interstellar Security. He commands a fleet of starships who are commissioned to defend planet Zoz and any Zozian who hires them for protection.

Ramesh is another childhood friend of Zik's, and was his partner during their asteroid mining days. He's now a fleet commander in Zik Enterprises Merchant Marines (ZEMM), flying the heavy cargo ship The Vigilant Gaddi.

Mikigaazo, or Miki for short, is a crystalline alien, and the first sentient alien lifeform discovered by humanity. A single entity, it can divide and recombine and reform, and its consciousness and memory follow its forms. After surviving an attempted xenocide and drifting through deep space for millennia, it was rescued by Zik and his crew, and now pilots Mikibot platforms when parts of it leave its new home moon in the Zozian star system.

Dak is Chief Engineer on the Temerity, and a brilliant but feisty technician. She met Zik on a mountain climbing course, a hobby they continue to pursue together.

Francisco Alvarez is the science and tactical officer on the Temerity. An avid guitarist in ancient Earth "rock" styles, he has a knack for sizing up complex situations.

Mizhakwan is a medicine woman and spirit guide who has taken the post of medic on the Temerity. She likes to be where interesting things are happening, and Zik's quite good at finding that!

Sten is Assistant Engineer on the Temerity. This Nordic giant is built like a tank, loves puns, calibrating things, and pumping iron.

Zoot is a semi-sentient AI which acts as an Alfred to Zik's Batman.

Morren Mallor is a violent, brutal man, filled with a mortal hatred of Zik. Once a Jairian terrorist, he blames Zik for ruining his life and will never stop trying to kill him.

The tyrannical Queen Elcyra violently overthrew Zernabia with a massive army of Clonoids. She enslaved and sterilized the human Zernabian population and stranded them on a prison planet, making them slave away in factories. She's seeking the Zozian star system so she can claim the planet as part of her empire.
