The Crew of Streaker

This file was based on the books Startide Rising, Brightness Reef, Infinity's Shore, and Heaven's Reach, and on the short story Temptation in book Far Horizons. These stories are referred in this page as the canon.

These stories, written by David Brin, are set in the Uplift Universe, where each intelligent species was uplifted from pre-sentient (animal) intelligence to spacefaring level - since the days of the Progenitors. Except Humans, the wolflings of Earth, for whom no one has found the Patrons.

This table follows the crew of Streaker along the books. An entry of ok means that the character was mentioned in the book. An entry in green means that the data was not mentioned in the book, but can be deduced with 100% certainty from the data in the other books. An entry in this shade of green means that the data is an extrapolation, with high certainty.

The Shift column is based on the hypothesis that - at least until the escape from Kithrup - the crew worked in 12 Earth Hour shifts. Half of the crew would work in the Day Shift (from 06:00 to 18:00 GMT) and the other half in the Night Shift (from 18:00 GMT to 06:00 GMT). Those hours usually don't correspond to the actual daylight periods of the planet.

This table contains spoilers. Those who haven't read those books and wish to do should not read this page. The exception are the data for Temptation, that are spoiler-free [except for the obvious fact that some dolphin crewmembers of Streaker are mentioned :-)]
