James

James was a close friend and former co-pilot of Calvin Kristensen.

The two of them were best friends at the Jovian Astrolaw Commission's academy. After Calvin was captured and had his eyes burned out by rebel soldiers, James used his wealthy father's money to have him fitted with a special visor which allowed him to see again.

In 2210, they bought Starship Athena and flew it together for three years, until James contracted Pioneer's Disease after a visit to the Vega system and subsequently died.

He was apparently an amateur engineer and a fan of Galaxy Traveler.
