Enjoyed doing stuff with you before B)

Hmm, what would fit best:
Envirosuit liquid man alien refugee (possibly working with an extremist alien-rights group and plotting a possible terror attack?)
Or
Rich bitch ex-space pirate captain lady (kinda on the run, but in rich comfort style.)

One of the rebels. Well, there were several groups. Still, it's been over forty years since they've been stranded. the ex-pirate might be interesting.

Might play an alien scientist originally stationed on bedlam to study a xenoanthropological mystery, but is now on a tangent checking out these newcomers.

I'm not sure what would have brought them to Bedlam, only to get stranded there with a bunch of refugees for forty-odd years, but I should point out the action will start on the ship. Certainly you can be a passenger returning to Bedlam after a trip to Earth to learn more about these humans.

Mining colony was closed shortly before the start of the PAX civil war, but your cell leader could have been one of the refugees stranded here for forty-odd years. But as the action will start on the cruise ship, it can be a while before we reach the planet.

There will be at least one alien NPC on board, Jun'kai. Looks like a blue-skinned centaur but with hand-like gripper paws instead of hooved feet. He'll be down in the brig, a prisoner being returned to Bedlam following a first contact event.
