#harplock

THANK U...... ok so. my alien ocs have this whole expanded universe i try to hold together on @intergalacticassistancefacility which is like. where the Main Crew, an intergalactic exploration crew, works is for the facility. its for the studying of flora and fauna, environments planets, solar systems, stars, etc, as well as preserving species that may be dying out, responding to distress signals, and one of the higher-up goals is to like unite intelligent species across the universe. thats the gist of the facility

so Harplock. he’s the captain of the main crew, specifically Exploration Captain and Co-Pilot of his crew’s ship. he’s an amphibious alien, has worked at the facility a while. he used to have a whole different crew, but after an incident that left quite a few crew members injured or traumatized, and the operations officer Dead, pretty much every crew member retired early, quit, or didn’t believe harplock was a fit enough captain for them to be comfortable working under him. aside from Six, harplock’s best friend and executive officer. harplock also didn’t quit, or retire, and fought not to be demoted. felt like he needed to make up for his mistakes yknow. do Better in the name of the guy lost to his negligence(even if he really wouldn’t have been able to help it)

he ended up with his current crew after a while, and no person qualified for the position of operations officer wanted to work under harplock, due to what happened to his last officer. 

eventually the facility picks up this human, Lee, who ended up figuring out how to contact the ship’s radio via his own hackjob tech, in the middle of nowhere, and the facility decided he could be useful if he could figure something like that out. blah blah blah, Lee ends up the crew’s operations officer after some training at the main facility hub, lee ends up pretty close with harplock, and they kinda sorta falling in love but keep it under wraps bcuz the facility would either fire one of them, or both of them, or relocate them if the two were open about dating. employees cannot work on the same crew and date
