A list of characters from the American animated series Exo Squad.

    open/close all folders 

Able Squad

     J.T. Marsh 

Played By: Robby Benson
  • Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Has this dynamic going on with Rita Torres: he is an Officer and a Gentleman, she is a rough-and-tough career sergeant.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Frame up!"
  • Cincinnatus: Planned on leaving the ExoFleet to "build things," presumably architecture or construction, but when the show is Cut Short, he's still in the ExoFleet.
  • I Owe You My Life: Calls in a life debt on Jubail, a Pirate warrior whose life he spared in a duel, to drop charges against Torres.
  • The Lancer: To Admiral Winfield
  • Sphere of Destruction: His e-frame's Solar Flare.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: When Marsh is promoted to Commander, he is given command of two squads, counting Able Squad. This second squad is almost never seen.
  • Worthy Opponent: To Captain Simbacca, who invokes the trope by name.
    • When Marsh realizes that he has just shot Shiva down and sent him spiraling to certain death on Venus, Marsh sadly shakes his head and says that Shiva was the best of the Neo leaders, it's just too bad he's fighting for a bad cause.

     Rita Torres 

Played By: Janyse Jaud

     Alec De Leon 

Played By: John Payne
  • Brain Uploading: Alec's black-box is uploaded into a cloned body in the final episode.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: With Maggie.
  • Communications Officer: With his specialized Communications E-frame (which has a big honking radar-dish thing on top).
  • Custom Uniform: Subverted; his clothing and body armor are identical to those worn by the long line of nameless ExoFleet troopers seen boarding a transport craft in one of the first few episodes.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Dies impersonating Typhonus to get the Neo fleet on the Moon to retreat, though Algernon and Galba later find a way to revive him.
  • The Lancer: To J.T. Marsh.
  • Male Gaze: When Alec comments that Phaeton can't appreciate the finer things in life, he (and the camera) focus directly on Maggie's posterior.
  • Trading Bars for Stripes: Chose to serve in ExoFleet rather than serve time in prison.

     Maggie Weston 

Played By: Teryl Rothery

     Nara Burns 

Played By: Lisa Ann Beley
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Not only are Nara and Marsala both unable to express their feelings for each other, they each have instances where they unknowingly slap the other down.
    • Dealt with in the final episode, where Nara is on the verge of professing love to Marsala, only for him to gently but firmly rebuff her while expressing the hope that in the future, he can remain a friend to her, and her children.
  • Death March: Subjected to one in the episode "Scorched Venus", after being captured by the Neosapiens in the wake of a botched deployment to Venus. Nara and Bronski are forcibly marched together with other Terran prisoners to help construct a secret GRAF Shield facility. Many of their fellow captives die en route, which lies right across a Venusian desert.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Somewhat in spite of her image as an experienced and battle-hardened soldier, Nara Burns keeps a big, stuffed rabbit in her quarters. It may seem strange and amusing at first, but it turns more poignant when you see her cuddling it in her sleep, during one of her nightmares.
  • Luminescent Blush: Nara when Marsala saved her life from falling off a mountain.
  • Parental Abandonment: Her parents are killed in the invasion of Venus.
  • Psychic Powers: Develops these after Ketzer experiments on her.
  • Power Glows: Whenever she displays her mysterious plant powers.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: The source of her romantic attraction to Marsala and lampshaded when James voices his disapproval of her attraction because Marsala isn't a human.
    Nara: Marsala is intelligent, gentle, kind, brave, and totally unselfish. I guess he isn't human is he!
  • Town Girls: The three ladies from Able Squad, Nara (femme), Maggie (neither), and Torres (butch).
  • You Killed My Father: Nara, who lost her parents and brother in Phaeton's war, is the one to kill him.

     Marsala 

Played By: Garry Chalk
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Not only are Nara and Marsala both unable to express their feelings for each other, they each have instances where they unknowingly slap the other down.
    • Dealt with in the final episode, where Nara is on the verge of professing love to Marsala, only for him to gently but firmly rebuff her while expressing the hope that in the future, he can remain a friend to her, and her children.
  • Defector from Decadence: He's a Neosapien who formerly fought against humans, and who now fights for the ExoFleet.
  • Fake Defector: In Episode 12.
  • Gentle Giant: Marsala, due to being a Neosapien, is considerably larger than any human and many times stronger, but he's also patient, thoughtful and even-tempered.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Subverted; He seemingly turns the squad over to Phaeton once they arrive on Mars, but it turns out to be a Batman Gambit.
  • The Lancer: To J.T. Marsh
  • Offhand Backhand: Pulls one on a Neosapien who tried to attack him from behind.
  • The Plan: Marsala, despite his Neosapien programming, is a master of this. He even fools Phaeton who had become The Chessmaster.
  • Pun: In one episode, a member of The Resistance is talking trash about the ExoFleet and how useless they've been during the war (mind you, ExoFleet had spent much of its time up till this point fighting the Neosapien fleet, helping the Resistance cells on various planets, and doing covert ops on Mars). Marsala walks up to the man and drops a tray of food on him, apologizing and claiming that he's "All Thumbs."note 
  • Token Heroic Orc: One of a handful of Neosapiens fighting against Phaeton.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: When he led the Neosapiens in the first Human/Neosapien War.

     Wolf Bronski 

Played By:Michael Donovan

     Kaz Takagi 

Played By: Michael Benyaer

Charlie Jumptroop Squadron Platoon 5

     Avery Butler 

Played By: Alvin Sanders
  • Character Catchphrase: "Any heroes in here?" "No, sir!" "Good! The only heroes I've ever seen were dead!"
  • Death Notification: Butler personally records a message to the family of every jumptrooper who dies under his command, despite the fact that he has no way to deliver these messages, or even to know that the trooper has any surviving family left on the Home Worlds.
  • It's Raining Men: As a jumptrooper, this is how he's deployed to the battlefield

     Colleen O'Reilly 

Played By:Kathleen Barr
  • Everybody's Dead, Dave: Colleen O'Reilly's graduating class, wiped out during the Neosapiens' initial assault.
  • It's Raining Men: As a jumptrooper, this is how she's deployed to the battlefield

     Raymon Longfeather 

Played By:Richard Newman

     Vince Pellegrino 

Played By:David Kaye

ExoScouts

     In General 
  • Scout-Out: The ExoScouts Troop 119 were on a camp out on Mars when the war broke out. Their Scoutmaster went for help at some point but was never seen again, presumed dead. They have been relying on their scout skills to stay alive on Mars until such time that they can be rescued. Ironically, the first time they encounter any ExoFleet forces, they end up having to rescue Sgt. Torres.
  • Teens Are Monsters: The ExoScouts are incredibly bratty and malicious to one another, as well as Sgt. Torres, an ExoFleet non-com, outright trying to murder her after earlier rescuing her just because she was a challenge to their leader's authority. Slightly justified in that they've been surviving on their own in the wastes of Mars for the better part of two years, producing a Lord of the Flies scenario.

     Cruiser 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Troubled Teen: Has been surviving the wastelands of Mars with no one but his fellow Scouts as support for at least two years by the time Torres finds them. He's understandably scared and angry.

     Doc 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Troubled Teen: Has been surviving the wastelands of Mars with no one but his fellow Scouts as support for at least two years by the time Torres finds them. He's understandably scared and angry.

     Pirate 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Jerk Jock: A blond teenage boy who leads a pack of bullies; he simmers down after he challenges Torres to a fight and loses.
  • Troubled Teen: Has been surviving the wastelands of Mars with no one but his fellow Scouts as support for at least two years by the time Torres finds them. He's understandably scared and angry.

     Rabbit 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Token Minority: The only non-white Scout in the group.
  • Troubled Teen: Has been surviving the wastelands of Mars with no one but his fellow Scouts as support for at least two years by the time Torres finds them. He's understandably scared and angry.

     Red 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Troubled Teen: Has been surviving the wastelands of Mars with no one but his fellow Scouts as support for at least two years by the time Torres finds them. He's understandably scared and angry.

Other ExoFleet

     Admiral Winfield 

Played By: Wally Marsh

     Captain Matthew Marcus 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Abandon Ship: After his unsuccessful attempt to liberate the homeworlds, the Resolute's crew is forced to take to the escape pods. Captain Marcus stays aboard.
  • Anti-Villain: He's not strictly evil, nor even particularly villainous by the standards set by the Neosapiens, he's simply an incompetent Jerkass who is desperate to save the Homeworlds before the Neosapiens solidify their hold on them.
    • Even when he was in open disagreement with Admiral Winfield, Captain Marcus chewed out a fellow captain for questioning the Admiral's courage, which he considered above reproach.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: His default strategy.
  • Bad Boss: A temperamental incompetent willing to court-martial his own officers for pointing out the flaws in his decisions and who regularly leads his forces to defeat, even leading The Mutiny against his own more benevolent boss.
  • Cassandra Truth: Both the Admiral and JT warn Captain Marcus that if the fleet goes full speed ahead to liberate Earth, it'll result in the slower ships not being able to keep up and leave the fleet in a bad strategic position that the Neosapians will take advantage of. Captain Marcus refuses to listen to them. Guess what happens?
  • Face Death with Dignity: When the Resolute is going down.
    Go back and tell Winfield to watch. Tell him... Matthew Marcus... knew how to die.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Captain Marcus was a loyal officer, if Hot-Blooded and incompetent, before he mutinied against Admiral Winfield.
  • General Failure: Charged headlong into a battle he was warned he would lose, and nearly got the entire ExoFleet annihilated.
  • General Ripper: Hotblooded, headstrong, and completely untethered from anything resembling logic or rationality.
  • Going Down with the Ship As detestable as he was, he definitely knew how to die.
  • Hate Sink: The show goes out of its way to make Captain Marcus as much of a bastard as possible. After his death, he's mostly forgotten about.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: In a moment of atonement for his monumental stupidity, uses the damaged Resolute to buy the rest of ExoFleet time to escape.
  • Hot-Blooded: Deconstructs this trope; his endless belligerence and insistence on leaping into combat at the slightest excuse causes massive tactical errors that hinder the Terran cause. Ultimately, this leads him to leap right into a battle he can't escape from and gets him killed.
  • The Mutiny: Pulls one on Winfield during the events of the Olympus Mons episodes.
  • The Neidermeyer: He's both a General Ripper and General Failure all rolled into one. His battle plans usually involve rushing to fight a foe without proper planning or preperation, then being overwhelmed by that foe while he either freezes up or panics.
  • Redemption Equals Death: See Heroic Sacrifice above.
  • Too Dumb to Live: This resulted in his death when he took the fleet into a battle it wasn't ready for.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Thinks he's doing the right thing in taking command from Admiral Winfield.

     Professor Algernon 

Played By:Michael Donovan
  • For Science!: He doesn't really care if he works for humans or Neosapiens so long as he can work; human Obstructive Bureaucrats wouldn't stop pestering him, so when the Neos conquered Mars, he offered their leading scientist, Xenobius, all of his research in exchange for being shielded from the drudgery. He only permits Able Squad to extract him because he realized Xenobius had grown to hate him for being smarter than him.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Returns to work for ExoFleet after working for the Neosapiens for a time.
  • Insufferable Genius: He's absolutely full of himself. JustifiedTrope Justified in that he really is the smartest human alive.
  • Les Collaborateurs: Initially; Algernon worked for the Neos because they, unlike human bureaucrats, didn't interfere with his research
  • The Man Behind the Man: For Xenobius.
  • Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Professor Algernon is a partial subversion. On the one hand, he is skilled in theoretical physics (discovering the Gravitational Focus Effect which "cannot be explained by normal physics"), numerous forms of engineering (building the GRAF Shield, upgrading Able Squad's E-Frames), and neuroscience (curing Dark Matter Syndrome). He's also skilled at VR painting. However, when consulted on the subject of genetics, he is quick to point out that it isn't his field and can provide no assistance.

     Alice Noretti 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Copied the Morals, Too: After her death, Phaeton makes a Neosapien-human hybrid using the body of Alice Noretti as the human template, and programs her to infiltrate the ExoFleet and kill Admiral Winfield. She ultimately dies rather than follow through with the programming.
  • Sacrificial Lion: First seen at a briefing for the E-Frame squad leaders in the first episode, then as a Badass Bystander, then joining Able Squad and dying on her first mission in the same episode; she's then brought back as a cloned Neosapien-Terran infiltrator, and finally kills herself in a bid to prevent her Neosapien programming from forcing her to harm her former comrades. Marsh keeps a photo of her in his E-Frame throughout the entire series.
  • Tyke Bomb: After being cloned by Phaeton, her purpose was to infiltrate Able Squad and assassinate Admiral Winfield.

     Yuri Stavrogan 

Played By:Scott McNeil
  • Military Maverick: Deconstructed: he's an Ace Pilot, one of the best in the fleet, but his disregard for regs, being a bad influence on other, younger troopers, and his tendency to go all Leeroy Jenkins all caused him to become a reserve pilot, meaning that he only gets to fly when a squad is understrength or to fill in for someone who's injured. No commanding officer wants to keep Stavrogan in their unit because he's too undisciplined and causes too many problems. Sure enough, at the end of his first appearance he gets transferred to a unit for repairing E-frames because once again he's almost gotten multiple people killed due to disobeying orders and encouraging others to do the same.
    • Hedoes get better in his second appearance, when the entire squad that he'd been working with is wiped out by Neos. That appears to have finally gotten him to wise up. While much more focused on the mission and troop safety, he does still use some well-played Loophole Abuse to get around one particular order.
      Stavrogan: J.T said not to risk the squad by trying to rescue him. But orders are meant to be interpreted... and my interpretation is that he meant not to risk the whole squad trying to save him. (Stavrogan takes half the squad to successfully go back and save J.T.)

The Resistance

     Sean Napier 

Played By: John Payne
  • Character Development: Napier hates Neosapiens, even before the start of the series. He's very distrustful of Marsala, even after the latter saved his life. By season 2, he's gotten over it and now openly trust him. By the end of the series, he's willing to make peace with Shiva to rebuild all that was lost.
  • Custom Uniform: Subverted; spends most of the series wearing a slightly modified version of his old Chicago Police Department uniform.
  • La Résistance: He's the de facto leader of the US branch of the Earth Resistance.
  • Supporting Leader: He does the groundwork and coordination for the Earth Resistance.

     James Burns 

Played By: Michael Donovan
  • Artificial Limbs: Which are treated realistically. James receives an artificial arm to replace one he lost in battle. It takes some time to get used to it. When he tries to flip a page from a book, he ends up ripping it, and he mentions that brushing his teeth isn't any easier.
  • Cyborg: James becomes this for his final appearance, having been wounded in a prior episode.
  • The Dying Walk: Does a variant of this at the end of his attempt to save Marsala from some former Venusian Resistance members who want to kill all Neosapiens.
  • Electronic Eyes: Loses one of his eyes and has it replaced with an artificial one.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies rescuing Marsala from Terran extremists.
  • It's Personal: James to Draconis, because of his parents' deaths. Unfortunately, he led the Resistance into battle without proper backup and Draconis got the upper-hand.
  • La Résistance: He's the de facto leader of the Venusian Resistance.
  • Parental Abandonment: His parents are killed in the invasion of Venus.

     Nick Tyree 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Awesome Aussie: A badass Resistance fighter who also happens to be Australian.
  • La Résistance: He's the de facto leader of the Australian branch of the Earth Resistance.

     Eve Hanley 

Played By: Teryl Rothery

     Peter Tanaka 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • La Résistance: A member of the US branch of the Earth Resistance.
  • The Strategist: Sean Napier's battle strategist, and the chief tactical strategist of Earth's Resistance.

     George Beauregard 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Awesome Aussie: A badass Resistance fighter who also happens to be Australian.
  • La Résistance: He's Nick's right-hand-man in the Australian branch of the Earth Resistance.

The Neosapien Commonwealth

     Governor General Phaeton 

Played By: Richard Newman
  • Bad Boss: Implicitly insane due to his Automutation Syndrome, he develops a habit of executing his generals for failure and replacing them with clones of themselves.
  • Big Bad: Governor General Phaeton is the ruler of the Neosapien Commonwealth who leads the Neosapien invasion on Earth and Venus so he can subjugate humanity.
  • Body Horror: Acquires Automutation Syndrome, a Neosapien degrading disease, after being caught in the demolition of Olympus Mons. It causes him to begin physically (and mentally) breaking down, essentially liquefying while he still alive to feel it, and forces him to wear a specialized E-frame/power armor suit as life-support to hold his body together.
  • Evil Overlord: He rules the homeworlds with an iron fist, and fully intends to wipe out humanity in order to replace them with the Neosapien race.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Phaeton was a trusted governor-general of Mars and former collaborator to the humans.
  • Hate Sink: Is a fairly obvious stand-in for a certain mustachioed demagogue.
  • It's Personal: While Phaeton will often say that Admiral Winfield is his greatest adversary, he has a deep, personal hatred of J.T. Marsh following their battle at Olympus Mons that left him with Automutation disease, and he spends a good portion of the second season seeking revenge against Marsh.
  • Les Collaborateurs: Was a collaborator for the Terran side in the first war.
  • Mind Rape: After Phaeton's chief finance minister discovers his invasion plans and refuses to go along, Phaeton forgoes simply killing him for something much worse.
    Phaeton: "Take him to the neural research center. If he thinks like a slave, we will give him the mind of one."
  • Oh, Crap!: His reaction to having his E-Frame dropped into lava is understandable. Subverted when it turns out his Neo-Frame is actually specially designed to have a much higher heat tolerance, allowing him to survive the immersion with no problems.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: When it become clear that he's losing the war, Phaeton builds an anti-matter bomb capable of wiping out the homeworlds entirely, sacrificing his own people to take out humanity.
  • Super Prototype: Phaeton's command E-Frame is far more powerful than others, capable of shrugging off attacks that would destroy a mass-produced model. Overlaps with Ace Custom.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Phaeton usually blames military failures on the incompetence of his Generals. Fair enough, but he also acts surprised when clones of those same Generals fail him again.
    • Late in the series, Draconis' clone bemoans that he must pay the price for one of his predecessors betraying Phaeton, having been relegated to a miserable assignment. Draconis is probably the only example of Phaeton learning from his mistakes.
  • Taking You with Me: When it looks like Phaeton is going to lose the war he builds a doomsday weapon that will blow up Earth and take the invading ExoFleet with it. Due to the fact that he was dying from Automutation Syndrome, he wanted to ensure that no one outlived him. See Omnicidal Maniac above.
  • 24-Hour Armor: Although it's more a "24-hour E-Frame", which doubles as his life support later on.
  • Villainous Breakdown: After being defeated by J.T. Marsh in the first season finale and developing Automutation Syndrome as a result, Phaeton slowly begins breaking down mentally.
  • We Have Reserves: Phaeton actually has many clones of his subordinates one standby in case they die or double-cross him.
  • You Have Failed Me: Not surprising, seeing as how Phaeton can easily replace an executed general... with a clone of said general. Mind you, he does tend to give them several chances first.
    • Which is kind of funny in that he presumes the clone would not repeat the mistakes of its executed predecessor.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Phaeton views the human slaves as this. Once he wins the war, he will breed billions of Neosapiens to replace them as citizens and workforce.

     Livia 

Played By: Teryl Rothery
  • Blind Obedience: Phaeton's aide and most passionate follower. Only his revelation that he intends to use his doomsday weapon to blow up the Earth shakes her faith in him.
  • Hidden Depths: Is a knowledgeable art enthusiast.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Livia, when she finally realizes that Phaeton is an Omnicidal Maniac, as she stares in horror at the enormous anti-matter bomb he's set up.

     Draconis 

Played By: John Kassir
  • Kill All Humans: Enthusiastically takes to enslaving, starving, and killing the population of Venus.
  • The Starscream: Draconis and Typhonus both have plans to overthrow Phaeton.

     Shiva 

Played By: Garry Chalk
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Shiva's death is treated as an extremely tragic moment, so much so that he's the only of Phaeton's generals to be commemorated, as the Exoscouts give him a makeshift grave. Mind you, the scouts didn't know he was one of Phaeton's generals, they thought he was a soldier, and the fact that some of them were crying was largely due to the fact they had little experience with death, and not because they felt Shiva's deeds in particular earned him commiseration.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Seems to be the closest thing the Neos' high command has. The other notable Neo generals are Draconis, who is a genocidal maniac, and Typhonus, an ambitious backstabber willing to jeopardize the Neo war effort for his own advancement. Shiva is a much more loyal soldier who doesn't engage in their egregious acts of brutality or petty betrayals, and after the war Shiva's clone prevents a fanatical Neo from assassinating human targets because it would just bring disaster on the defeated Neos.

     Thrax 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Honor Before Reason: A positive example, as he refuses to kill thousands of Terran prisoners with a hydrogen bomb just to destroy Able Squad and the Resistance.
  • Punished for Sympathy: Is demoted for repeatedly showing mercy to Terrans, such as refusing to finish off Kaz Takagi after winning a dogfight against him on Mercury and disobeying direct orders to detonate thermonuclear explosives under Venus City, that would've killed the Terran soldiers and captured civilians inside the dome.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Towards his subordinates after being garrisoned in the Amazon.
  • Red-plica Baron: Is known for the large number of pilots he's shot down, and for piloting a red Y-wing. Upon actually meeting him, we also see that he is an honourable warrior who will choose not to execute an opponent after they are shot down and helpless.
  • Worthy Opponent: To Kaz Takagi.

     Typhonus 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The ExoFleet needs to make an alliance with the pirate clans to stand a chance against the Neosapien forces. However, the pirates have decades of resentment towards the ExoFleet, and figure the Neosapiens will continue to not bother them, so they intend to turn down the alliance. Then Neosapien General Typhonus leads an attack, hoping to stop the alliance. In attacking the pirates and giving Marsh a chance to rescue their leader, Simbacca, he cemented the ExoFleet/pirate alliance. This leads to Phaeton executing Typhonus, and replacing him with a clone.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: When trying to come up with a strategy to destroy a human base apparently protected by a GRAF Shield, Typhonus suggests an all-out attack from many different points, hoping to overwhelm the defenses through sheer numbers and destroy the base before the Shield can target each incoming ship. Phaeton overrules the strategy and berates Typhonus for coming up with a strategy that would have gotten Typhonus' entire command killed. Except the GRAF Shield on the human base shorted out after a single use, so if Typhonus had gone ahead with his plan, he would have surely destroyed the base.
  • Smug Snake: Typhonus is an arrogant commander who thinks he's a Four-Star Badass (he insists on calling himself the best general Phaeton has despite Phaeton stating otherwise), and while he's not incompetent the repeated failures of his attempts to defeat the Exo-Fleet or usurp Phaeton places him squarely here.
  • The Starscream: Draconis and Typhonus both have plans to overthrow Phaeton.

     Praetorius 

Played By: Michael Benyaer

     Xenobius 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Evil Genius: Subverted: Professor Algernon is the real brain power behind his inventions.
  • You Have Failed Me: Is executed when his failures regarding the GRAF shield result in the destruction of a significant percentage of the Neosapien fleet.

     Stentor 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited

     Galba 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Heel–Face Turn: Although he only does it because he thinks Phaeton is insane and the Neosapiens can no longer win the war.
  • Last of His Kind: By the end of the series, Galba is the last of the Neo Megas. The rest have been exterminated by Phaeton.
  • The Only Believer: Galba was this regarding the Neo Mega coup attempt against Phaeton. While the other Neo Megas professed a desire to make peace with humanity after deposing Phaeton and ending the war, only Galba truly believed in it, the rest of the conspirators were simply planning to put themselves in charge and not bungle the war the way the increasingly unstable Phaeton had. Strangely enough, it saves Galba's life, as the other Neo Megas order his arrest when they think their coup has succeeded, and Phaeton mistakenly believes they tried to arrest Galba because he was loyal to Phaeton.
  • Token Heroic Orc: The only Neo Mega who sought genuine peace between humans and Neosapiens as opposed to overthrowing both species like his broodmates.

     Lysander 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Oh, Crap!: When he realizes that he's just stepped on a fusion pack ready to explode.
  • You Are Who You Eat: The real Lysander was killed and absorbed by an insane Neosapien suffering from advanced Automutation Syndrome, who then assumed his identity.

     Wotan 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Elite Mook: Shiva's assistant... and also the ultimate Neo Lord warrior.

     Kor 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Elite Mook: An advanced version of the Neo Warrior brood, easily capable of matching (and almost defeating) J.T. Marsh in one-on-one combat - while J.T. was in his E-frame.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: As a Neo Warrior, Kor is part animal (in his case, part eagle.)
  • Reassigned to Antarctica: Sent to assist Praetorius in Antarctica after failing to capture J.T. Marsh.

The Pirate Clans

     Captain Jonas Simbacca 

Played By: Robby Benson

     Hallas 

Played By: David Kaye

     Jubail 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Honor Before Reason: Another positive example as, even though he hates ExoFleet and was being tempted by Barca, he faithfully carried out his orders to protect J.T. Marsh and Alec DeLeon, and later rallied the other Pirate Clans to aid the ExoFleet.
  • I Owe You My Life: Life debts are an important part of the Pirate Clans' culture, and Marsh calls in his on Jubail, whose life he spared in a duel, to drop charges against Torres.
  • You Killed My Brother: Hates ExoFleet because he blames them for his brother's death.

     Captain Barca 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Agent Provocateur: Constantly enticing younger Pirates to rebel against Simbacca, while on Phaeton's payroll.
  • Les Collaborateurs: Is working with Phaeton for his own gain, hoping to overthrow Simbacca and gain power over the Pirate Clans.

Others

     Dr. Albrecht Ketzer 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited

     Amanda Connor 

Played By: Teryl Rothery

     Diana 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
  • Les Collaborateurs: Unwillingly, as her family was being held hostage (or so she believed - they'd already been killed by the Neosapiens.)
  • The Commies Made Me Do It: By telling her they were holding her family hostage. They were already dead.
  • Redemption Equals Death: Diana betrayed the Resistance so the Neosapiens would reunite her with her exiled family. She then learned they had lied, and her family had already been sent to the sun to be disposed of. This prompts her to help J.T. Marsh, who rejects her aid. Diana then feints rejoining the Neosapiens so she can learn of Professor Algernon's whereabouts. She succeeds and gives the location to J.T. Marsh, only to be arrested and executed offscreen.

     Mayor Reed 

Played By: Robby Benson
  • Les Collaborateurs: Because he was trying to save his own neck.
  • The Quisling: He'll do anything to curry favor with Phaeton, including enthusiastically assisting in the oppression, enslavement, and extermination of his own people.
    • Dude was brown-nosing Phaeton before the Neosapiens even invaded. Though it was kind of justified then, as Phaeton was an honored planetary governor.

     Charles Makena 

Played By: Unknown/Uncredited
