Felipe Castaneda

• Title and rank: Admiral
  
• Faction: Galactic Terran Alliance
  
• Ship or base: GTD Ixion
  
• Fate: dies in Possente Ftha, Immenso Ftha
  

Admiral Felipe Castaneda is the Commanding Officer of the GTD Ixion and leads the GTA task force providing support to the PVN in Vasuda. Despite his death following the first appearance of the HLD Hikuptah, he has played a vital role in strenghtening the ties with loyal Vasudan forces, by providing advice on how to interact with the Vasudans, especially those in the PVN who have been subject to stressful experiences following mass defections to the Hammer of Light.

Aidha

• Title and rank: not specified
  
• Faction: Parliamentary Vasudan Empire (Intelligence)
  
• Ship or base: PVD Hedetet (PVI Quarters)
  
• Fate: survives the campaign
  

Aidha, which may not be the real name of this character due to the undercover scenario in which she operates, is an agent expert on Hammer of Light ideologies and ancient Vasudan scrolls that participated to the secret operation that allowed the Alliance to gain vital data on the HLD Hikuptah, as well as other HoL assets.

• The character is named after Aida, from the homonym work by Giuseppe Verdi.

Het Ka

• Title and rank: the "Great Watcher"
  
• Faction: Vasudan (historical character)
  
• Ship or base: Vasuda (planet)
  
• Fate: lived in ancient times
  

No detailed information on this notable Vasudan historical character is known, except for his probable involvement in the writing of the Fourteenth Prophecy, mentioned in Mask of a Fanatic. His visionary capabilities were such that the Hammer of Light links his works, depending on various interpretations, to the advent of the HoL's resurrection in late 2336 sparked by the introduction of the HLD Hikuptah.

• The character is named after the Het-Ka superdestroyer, the ship that played the HLD Hikuptah's role in the early versions of the campaign. Please note that the hyphen is not used in this character's name.

• Ship or base: HLD Prophecy
  
• Fate: dies between Mask of a Fanatic and More than a Prophecy
  

Admiral Khenu is the Commanding Officer of the HLD Prophecy, and while not that much information is available, he must have been an extremely influential person within the Hammer of Light, almost obsessed with ancient texts and those among the Vasudans who know them into the details. The Typhon destroyer led by him nearly disrupted the final attempt to stop the Lucifer on its way to Sol. His strong beliefs are also testable even after his death, as demonstrated by his will to have a text with the Numbered Destinies prophecy on his body on the funeral coffin.

Menkaure

• Title and rank: Admiral
  
• Faction: Parliamentary Vasudan Empire
  
• Ship or base: PVD Hedetet
  
• Fate: survives the campaign
  

Admiral Menkaure is the Commanding Officer of the PVD Hedetet, an asset struggling to bring back order in star systems where the influence of fanatism is strong. He firmly condemns any form of defection or support towards the Hammer of Light, though he also shows great disappointment when such defections occur, and perceives them as a treason towards all Vasudan people. Despite this potential weakness in his behavior, his actions play a pivotal role in stopping key HoL assets, including the flagship Hikuptah.

Nitocris

• Title and rank: Commodore
  
• Faction: Hammer of Light
  
• Ship or base: HLCv Hutyemhat
  
• Fate: dies in Mask of a Fanatic
  

Commodore Nitocris is the Commanding Officer of the HLCv Hutyemhat, who was deemed to be assassinated until PVI agents managed to find out she was still alive. The discovery ultimately led to unraveling many major security braches within the PVN and even PVI itself. Nitocris oftentimes cites ancient scrolls, though she makes mistakes in the process, and one such mistake allowed PVI agents to confirm the genuinity of her identity. Her true motives remain unknown, but she apparently had access to vital data on HoL research on both Terrans and the Shivans, and was even confirmed to possess a device that allowed some minor interaction between her ship and Shivan units.
