Space Raiders

A weathered former Space Service colonel turned pirate who leads his crew with rough pragmatism and a growing sense of responsibility. He starts as a mercenary, torn between ransom and a chance to protect a child. Over the course of the mission, he is forced to choose a path of protection and redemption for Peter, risking his life for a boy he barely knows.

A fearless 10-year-old stowaway who quietly drives the action with unexpected courage and ingenuity. He demonstrates resourcefulness by volunteering to fix a damaged power conduit under pressure, earning Hawk's grudging respect. The boy's loyalty and hope drive Hawk to choose mercy over ransom and seek to return him home.

An alien crime lord who runs the space station as a shady hub for bounty hunters and illegal deals. He demands long-overdue service fees and reacts with fury when Peter's presence disrupts his operation. His confrontation with Hawk culminates in violence as the pursuit intensifies.

A crew member assigned to oversee Peter's return home. She travels with the pirates to Regulus V and meets a tragic end when Zariatin's thugs ambush her ship. Her death underscores the stakes of Hawk's crew's loyalty and the ruthlessness of their enemies.

A psychic alien aboard Hawk's crew who senses danger to Peter. His abilities help avert danger, and he plays a key role in guiding the crew through tense moments. He is part of the crew’s fragile defense against Zariatin's men and the Company’s pursuit.
