Prodo-1

Prodo started life as a simple maintenance droid when the UTF Narcissus (later the Revolution) was built. Like the ship, Prodo is older than the captain but still very young by droid standards. As a mechanic aboard a state-owned freighter, Prodo spent the past few decades surrounded by loud noises, thick smoke, and stupid biological masters. Once re-tasked to produce High Orbit, Prodo found his true calling, even if his job description changed little.

As the only sentient being who has known the ship for its entire existence, he still performs many of his previous duties. He is also the Revolution’s first officer, a first among UTF maintenance droids but by no means uncommon among private couriers.

In his spare time, Prodo designs clothing for sentient reptiles.

Prodo-2

Realizing there was more work to do on the UTF Revolution than a human and a robot can handle, Captain Ebel began work constructing a second producer droid. This smaller, younger droid emerged from a pile of spare spaceship parts and immediately began causing trouble for the rest of the crew.

Currently he hosts the “Ask A Robot” segment of the show, where listeners can send in their questions and almost get them answered.

Big Judge (BJ)

Captain Ebel stumbled upon Big Judge (referred to as BJ or simply “Beej”) while salvaging a derelict cruise vessel. Though little is known about BJ’s history, it is assumed that he belonged to a Motleyan rock band that booked passage aboard the drifting starship. His only known function is to deliver frank evaluations of music and live performances.

Who built BJ and by what standards he judges music still remain mysteries.
