Characters:

Hobson Greene: First Technician on the Jupitonia. He can be a jerk. He likes to make fun of Kepler's deadness

• Big Eater

Alexander Kepler:

Alexander Kepler was the security guard, but he was not good at his job. Kepler had always wanted to be a science officer, but he failed his science exam miserably on the first try. One quality that made Kepler a bad security guard was the fact that he was a wimp. He was an insufferable coward. Even the talk of the existence of alien life in space had him hiding under the table crying. The second fact was that he was dead.

• Back from the Dead: But still dead
• Berserk Button: He does not like people acknowledging that he's dead.
• Jerkass
• Butt-Monkey: Everybody picks on him
• The Woobie
• Dirty Coward

MAX: It was rather difficult to pinpoint the computer's appearance, because every time it would come on screen, its appearance and even gender would change.

• Ambiguous Gender: MAX was made of this trope
• Cloud Cuckoolander
• The Ditz
  • but maybe border lying on Genius Ditz

• Limited Wardrobe: The crew believe he only has one pair of clothes. His chef's Uniform.
• Non-Action Guy
• Shout-Out: His name is similar to Chris Barrie, who played Rimmer in Red Dwarf

Joebot: The service droid on the Jupitonia. Known for doing nothing that fits his job description.

• Butt-Monkey: Gets abused by Kepler far too often.
• Casual Danger Dialogue: He doesn't even flinch at danger.
