Children of the Pioneers
Recruit the descendants of Japan's greatest space pioneers. Each crew member carries their ancestor's philosophy, specialty, and a personal story waiting to be unlocked. These are not random characters — they are heirs to a real legacy.
Hana Mukai
First Japanese woman in space, 1994 & 1998
Precise, methodical, and quietly fierce. Inherited her grandmother's cardiovascular surgeon instincts and the unshakeable belief that a healthy crew is an unstoppable crew. Never loses her composure — but notices when you do.
Kenji Mohri
First JAXA astronaut in space, 1992
A materials scientist who sees patterns others miss. Thoughtful to the point of silence, Kenji observes before he speaks — and when he speaks, the crew listens. Inherited his grandfather's belief that the most important discoveries happen quietly.
Yuki Wakata
First Japanese ISS Commander, 2014
Born to lead but determined to earn it. Yuki carries the weight of her father's legacy with visible effort — she will not accept the title until she believes she deserves it. One of the most skilled navigators on the ship.
Ren Hoshide
First Asian spacewalk commander, 2021
At home outside the ship as inside it. Precise, fearless in the void, and deeply committed to the crew's collective mission. Has never met a technical problem he was willing to call unsolvable.
Sora Noguchi
Three missions across three decades, 1996–2021
The keeper of the ship's memory. Sora has read every mission report, every engineering log, every personal letter sent from orbit. She knows what the ship has survived. She makes sure no one forgets it.
Hayato Itokawa
Never gave up. 7 years. 2 billion kilometers.
The most stubborn engineer on the ship — and proudly so. Hayato believes any system can be coaxed back to life with enough patience. The Hayabusa engine bay is his sanctuary. He understands machines that refuse to quit.
Additional crew members will be added through exploration, story events, and honorific recruitment.
Some ancestors have never been publicly acknowledged — their descendants carry quiet legacies waiting to be discovered.
