C982 Crew

The crew of Earth cargo ship C982 operates as a tightly bound human transport unit under Captain Stewart’s command. Structured around immediate operational needs rather than formal hierarchy, their purpose centers on navigating commercial routes while maintaining vigilance against external threats. The team responds to crisis with instinctive solidarity, as shown when panicked crewmen misidentify Jo and the Doctor as boarders, instantly escalating hostilities. Under Stewart’s leadership they weaponize perceived vulnerabilities, broadcasting distress calls and preparing for confrontation with the Draconian battle cruiser rather than attempting de-escalation. Their tools are routine cargo-hauling systems repurposed under duress, deployed without specialized combat training.
