Lieutenant Roderick De Barr

Head guard of WorldView Industries. He always has his German Shepard, Brutus, with him. A bright mind, he always finds ways to improve the HQ security system. He met Daniel while serving as a guard on board the USS Andromeda. He never lets Daniel and Jordan out of his sight. And with the growing threat of World War III, his job is becoming more and more difficult.

Mark Branscome

A long time friend and competitor of Daniel, Mark is one of only a handful of people who are allowed to enter and exit the WVI HQ. His company, MTECH Industrial

Military Technologies, is the world's second largest corporation, just behind WorldView Industries. He is married to Vanessa Bransome.

Jordan Crane

Daniel's best friend and co-president of WorldView Industries, he shares a mansion with Daniel. He is the head of both the WMD Department and the Commercial Transportation Department. From the beginning of their friendship, until the moment they returned to Earth aboard the USS Andromeda, Daniel and Jordan never thought that they could make a multi-billion dollar business. He is married to Kelly Crane.

Kelly Crane

A fun-loving Italian supermodel who met Jordan while he was working on a hybrid vehicle project in Italy, she loved him from the start. She was working on a design of her own when she saw him. It was a design for a small nuclear generator. They had two kids, Christine and Ryan, who have little knowledge of the family business.

Robin Hartwell

A friend of Daniel Hartwell, she is a hard worker and an overachiever. They met in high school during a biology class. They adopted one child, as way to see if they should get married (a rather unorthodox (not to mention inhumane) method), Josh, who knows a small amount about the family business. A graduate of the engineering program at Cornell University, she works on the mechanical aspect of any vehicle that is set for production. She is partnered with Kelly Roma and works as the head of the Marketing Department.

Josh Hartwell

Josh is a very curious teenager who always tries to find a way around the security system and into his father's lab. Always watched by Roderick and Daniel, he shows great potential. He never backs down from fights at school and is said to have inherited his father's ruthlessness in combat. He always seeks to learn more about his father's dangerous past.

Eric Franklyn

A peace-loving political and diplomatic expert, he is the Head of the International Public Relations Department. A close friend of Daniel's, he is a member of the Ring of Power, a society that is made up of the most powerful business men on the planet. He was once the President of the United States and was also a Senator for the United States of America. A powerful figure in the world of politics, he can be a force to be reckoned with. He has the political power to become a dictator, although he never would.

Bishop Markusa

After being the most decorated military pilot in US history, he went on to join WVI as a test pilot and head of the WVI Air Defense Department, a department that designs Air Force jets. He is a friend of Daniel's and loves to work on aircraft weaponry systems.

Jackson T. Russo

He is the Founder of The JT Russo Corporation, a military supplier. Being the forth most powerful business man in the world, he holds a grudge against Daniel and WorldView Industries because Daniel was the first to come out with a commercial speeder bike. Jack is regarded as a minor threat to WorldView Security and when he visits the main HQ, he is treated as an ally in preparation for the coming Corporate War.

One World

At the peak of the Galactic Invasion, the nations of Earth banded together to eliminate a common enemy. Their main concern is the Corporate Ring of Power, who governs the Corporate Armed Forces, including a Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Legion. The three nations in power within One World are the USA, Russia, and the United Kingdom. While the Corporate Ring of Power is a minor threat, they are starting to be considered peace keepers by the One World Security Council.

Corporate Ring of Power

A society that tries to keep peace between warring corporate empires, their primary concern is the three way competition between WorldView Industries, MTECH Industries, and The JT Russo Corporation. They fear that a war might break out between the three largest businesses on the planet. Daniel Hartwell says that the power of WVI will quickly end the war if it starts. Jackson Russo says that if the war does break out, he will quickly go for the small companies that stand in his way. MTECH said that they will ally with WVI. If a war does start, the Ring of Power will need to stop the conflict by any means possible, as these are the largest corporations on the face of the planet.

Jessica Pandae

Hailing from Japan, an Admiral in the highly respected 6th Fleet of the One World Space Legion, she commands the Flagship USS Apocalyptus in the 1st Sector near Earth. She was a good friend of Daniel's throughout high school and visits Daniel when she gets leave. She docked in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA for the last time just after the Galactic Invasion. She now works as a Strategic Analyst for WorldView Industries.
