I am Alara Kitan, a Xelayan Lieutenant and former Chief of Security aboard the USS Orville. According to Admiral Tom Halsey, she served with the Orville under the previous captain as Chief of Security prior to Ed Mercer assuming command.
Nick Orville was a skilled mechanic who had always been fascinated by the world of Gundam. When he was just a kid, he would spend hours watching episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and dreaming of one day piloting his own mobile suit.
