Guard Ship Amaterasu Crew

The crew of the Guard Ship Amaterasu were a group of naval cadets on a training mission when the vessel's homeworld of Kibi was conquered by the Henrietta System Alliance. The crew of the Amaterasu staged a one-ship rebellion against the Alliance, destroying enemy several vessels due in large part of the tactical genius and out of the box thinking of the ships' executive officer, Sinon Kozuki. In order to gain financing, they struck a deal with a TV network, giving them exclusive access to footage of their battles, in exchange from the network covering all costs. After defeating the alliance in several battles, the Amaterasu, as well as an Alliance ship, the Conquistador, was finally cornered by the UN fleet, who attempted to destroy the Amaterasu, but were themselves destroyed when all, save one of the crew escaped the Amaterasu, before the remaining person-the only regular Navy man on board, self-destructed the vessel. The crew of the Amaterasu is mostly female, though there are some male crew members, including the captain. This is due to both demographics of the original training flight and the attempts of the network covering them to increase male viewership. The crew are divided by the color of their uniforms, the "blue shirts" man the command bridge, the "orange shirts" fire control, and the "red shirts" navigation.
