For captain I nominate Zakalwe from “Use of Weapons.” He’ll win at any cost, to anyone, allies included.
Ship’s Slave Kennel Master: Harcourt Fenton Mudd from TOS
Ship’s Intelligence Officer (ie, spymaster): Hari Seldon from the Foundation series
Ships Morale Officer: Six of Nine from Trippin the Rift
I nominate Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory as my science officer. There was an episode where Star Wars is being discussed and he says “you know I’ve always been an Empire man”.
Ship’s counsellor - actor Terry Crews from Friday, Everybody Hates Chris. I don’t know why, I just think he’d make a hilarious choice.
Military officer - that cyborg from Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D (I forget his name)
Away Team Lead - Chuck Norris
That’s gonna get you killed in short order.
You guys aren’t thinking outside the box.
Empress Hoshi the first of the Terran Empire. She’s a master of manipulation and improvisation in one of the best arcs from Enterprise. She’s responsible for the creation of the Terran Empire - or at least it’s growth and consolidation - that we get bearded Spock from. Communications office and concubine to Empress is less than two years. Badass.
Place whomever you want on the ship to run it. Put Hoshi in strategic command and stand back.
For my second ship, an all female crew:
Captain: Emma Frost, the Hellfire Club’s White Queen (X-Men comics)
Executive Officer: The Baroness (G.I. Joe)
Science Officer: “Missy” (Doctor Who): Of course she’ll try to take over, but Frost’s a telepath, so she’ll see it coming.
Ship’s Medical Officer: Baronne Lotus Bharaputra (From the Vorkosiganverse, Mirror Dance)
Tactical: Tanya von Shrakenburg (From the Draka universe)
Red Shirts: Dottie (Agent Carter), Barbara Minerva (Wonder Woman comics) and Martine (Person of Interest)
Would evil Cmdr. Will Riker have a goatee or not?
I’ll take the ReMastered from Charles Stross’s Eschaton Universe. (Really just Iron Sunrise.) They’re basically Bionic Nazis in Space, with just enough humanity to emphasize the horror of their worldview. That they beat the Eschaton is further proof of their competency.
Since Zakalwe got named already, I’ll nominate Grey Area to run the ship. Or Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints. Neither are exactly Evil, but both are pretty much Exactly What It Says On The Tin. And very, very good at what they do.
Limited to people? Or other Legal Entities that aren’t nearly-omnipotent, omniscient, weak gods? Skade, from the Revelation Space universe of Alastair Reynolds is a Conjoiner—so she thinks about as fast as an early solid-state computer, and eventually ends up more machine than human. Though the ‘augmentations’ available in that universe make the line blurry. Utterly ruthless.
I’m not familiar though with many Evil characters in SciFi being all that competent. They may have alien drives and motivations that we perceive as Evil, but I’m not coming up with many ‘mustache-pulling’ examples of Evil, that I’d also want to have running something valuable to me. How about the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen? Or, I know, the Mentat Pieter de Vries as Science Officer?
What is with all the goatee affection here?
Does that mean I will have to shave and cut my hair?
:eek:
I always liked Captain/Admiral Piett, in the Star Wars movies. He did not get much screen time, but he seemed fairly competent.
Captain: Ming The Merciless! Pathetic earthlings… who can save you now?
First Officer: Darth Tyranus: He’s used to serving an Emperor.
Science Officer: Otto Octavius
Medical Officer: Ash from Alien. All the science, none of the empathy.
Morale Officer: Sybok
Tactical: Thrawn
Head of Security: Pat Roach. Because if you can fight Indiana Jones, you’re pretty good.
Red Shirts: Gorn!
He would at first, and be quite incompetent, until he shaves and starts kicking butt and taking names.
Your agonizer, please.
If I needed an evil-hot chick, I’d be thinking of Seven of Nine, with some appropriate reprogramming. As for my Legions of Doom, frankly, both SW Stormtroopers and ST redshirts are lousy shots. I’m leaning towards Borgs and Fremen right now, I’d want to think about it some more. And probably reread Peter’s Evil Overlord Lists.
Captain Pellaeon would make a good 2nd in command. He’s competent at his level but he’s not driven by vengeance or a need to destroy everything. I wouldn’t want him to be the overall leader but he’d be a good #2.
I like what you’re thinking here. Very interesting choices.
Redshirt: Stanley Tweedle. Mind you, he’s more likely to get everyone else in the landing party killed.
He will have three.
Two one his face, one on his bum
Plus, antlers.
A small detachment of Ferengi or Jar Jar Binks might be useful. No, wait. Think about it.
You send in your Ferengi/Binks troops to attack your enemy at Point A, a reasonable locale for an attack/assault. So the enemy of course is going to react to this. And while the enemy is killing all the FBs they can find, you send in your real attack with real troops at Point B.
No, the problem with that is that Jar Jar would somehow clumsily and in spite of himself do something that would decimate the enemy forces and lead to an actual breakthrough at Point A, ruining your plan.
Captain -Krug from the Search for Spock.
Ship’s counselor-Jayne from Firefly.
Science officer-Mirror Spock.
First office -Kang.
Surgeon -McCoy.
Ships engineer -Scotty “Let’s see if he has the belly for it.”
Only if she wears white. 
Computer tech: Davros
