Wolfe is also an alcoholic.Įnter his new executive officer, Celeste Wright, is an ambitious young officer from a more prestigious fleet, and has taken the job with the 7th because of the upward mobility. The Blue Jacket is part of Seventh Fleet, otherwise known as “the Black Fleet”, and is full of cast-offs and ruffians. With that said, Wolfe somehow “lucked” into being the captain of a spaceship: a destroyer called The Blue Jacket. As such, they are seen as backward and not as advanced as those who colonized space. Earth is seen as a relic of humanity’s ancient and violent past. Jackson Wolfe is an Earther, which means that he is generally looked down on by the rest of humanity. It sure would be a shame if humanity suddenly came into contact with a violent and advanced alien species…. The technology used to build them is tightly controlled by a corporation, and the military isn’t even allowed to repair key components of the ships. Even the old ships were built a hundred and fifty years after they were necessary. So the military has become complacent, and their ships are outdated. Everyone is simply too spread out, and the resources are far too plentiful. They haven’t found aliens, however, and they also haven’t fought a war in over two hundred years. It’s the 25th century, and humanity has reached the stars (and colonized them).
