Backstory:
The UNSC Nighthawk, a Halcyon-class cruiser with the same modifications as the Pillar of Autumn has been sent to explore the reaches of the galaxy. They sepnt 3 years in cryo, with a 'dumb' AI keeping the ship in Slipspace, then dropped out. The first plot line would pick up three hours before dropping out, as all personnel are brought out of cryo.
So, in essence, we'd be exploring and fighting. Some piloting, maybe some odd events.
Also thought up some major characters earlier:
Captain Kevin Stafford- the CO of Nighthawk
Al- the ship's AI. He takes the appearence of 1920s gangster Al Capone.
These are not major characters, just admin (mine) ones:
Warrant Officer Jack O'Reilly- Pelican pilot. Callsign Mike 83.
Lieutenant Angus Brannon- Lonsword pilot. Callsign Raven 1. ((Got his callsign from the translation of his last name-raven))
Corporal John DeSoto- ODST. First Company, Third Platoon, Third Squad Leader.
