Renee Minkowski

Biography
An immigrant of Eastern European origins, Lieutenant Commander Renee Minkowski is an accomplished pilot, expert tactician, and closeted lover of musical theater and ice cream. As the de facto commanding officer of the Hephaestus. Minkowski is devoted to the idea of running a tight ship. But with a crew made up by a slacker communications officer, an eccentric scientist, and an erratic artificial intelligence system, it's getting harder to escape the feeling that the trains may not be so much running on time as derailed. Some drastic measures might have to be taken.

An overachiever from an early age, Minkowski is proud of her reputation for icy competence and creative problem-solving, and she's extremely proud of how hard she's worked to get where she is in life. Now it's just a matter of figuring out exactly where that is, and how she can make it out of there in one piece.
