The Five Arks and their command crews

I had sort of a set of rules when it came to selecting the command crews for each of the Ark missions. I tried to work in the last names of some real astronauts and occasionally, a character from the TV show 24.

Ark I - primary target: Alpha Centauri. Captain: Bill Allen
Pilot: Stan Linzersky
Co-pilot: Milo Shepherd

Ark II - primary target: Tau Ceti. Captain: Maury Keller
Pilot: Abu Fayed
Co-pilot: Mitch Alexander

Ark III - primary target: 82 G. Eridani. Captain: Dan Harrison
Pilot: Miguel Salazar
Co-pilot: Andy Cooper

Ark IV - primary target: Nu2 Lupi. Captain: Evan Rossler
Pilot: Sam Eberhoff
Co-pilot: Adam Goldberg

Ark V - primary target: Chara. Mission Captain: Brian Tomkin
