In the 1993-1995 sci-fi animated television series Exosquad, Exofleet was the commonly used name for all battle spaceships built by the humans of the Homeworlds. Before the war against Neosapiens started, Phaeton lured the Exofleet, then consisting of six exocarriers and countless support vessels, away from the Homeworlds to fight the Pirate Clans, but the latter later became a part of the Exofleet themselves. For some time, the Exofleet was the only safe harbor for the Terrans (homo sapiens). 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

Admiral Winfield Admiral Winfield was the commander of the entire Exofleet during the war with Phaeton's regime. A brilliant strategist and tactician, he was a man with an (nearly) unquestionable authority. Even though his decisions seemed too risky at times, his experience never failed him. The fact that he and J.T. Marsh were the only two people the Pirate Leader Jonas Simbacca truly respected as warriors speaks for itself. However, Admiral Winfield was an old man when the war started therefore when it was over, he retired from the Exofleet to build a horse ranch.

Matthew Marcus Capt. Matthew Marcus (†) was the captain of Resolute I during the first years of the war. Infamous for his lack of strategic skills, he became one of the most negative figures of the war by nearly destroying Resolute I and the rest of the Exofleet in suicidal attacks on Earth held by Neosapiens, raising a mutiny against Admiral Winfield and finally, being destroyed along with his ship as a result of the previous events. One possible explanation of how he has been promoted to such a high rank at all is that this occurred during peacetime, when the necessity of the Exofleet itself was disputed. Captain is both a nautical term and a rank in various uniformed organizations. ...

Algernon Professor Algernon, formerly, at University of Chicago, was the head of the Research & Development Laboratories of the Exofleet. At the beginning of the war, however, he has been captured by Neosapiens and forced to cooperate. Hiding under a disguise of the leading Neosapien scientist, Xenobius', lab assistant, he designed the so called GRAF (GRAvitation Focus) Shield, an ultimate defensive weapon capable of wiping out entire fleets approaching a planet. Later, Algernon has been extracted by the Able Squad and worked for the Exofleet ever since. It was primarily due to his inventions that Terrans often had the upper hand battling Neosapiens.

Able Squad At the beginning of the war, the Able Squad was merely one of many exosquads (E-frame squads) stationed on Resolute I as part of Flight 1. However, towards the end of the conflict, the Able Squad has become an elite unit assigned only to the most difficult missions (much like Rogue Squadron of Star Wars). The main story arc of the series primarily tells about the adventures of the Able Squad. E-frames or Exo-Frames were multi-purpose mecha-like artificial powered exoskeletons featured in the 1993-1995 animated television series Exosquad. ...

J.T. Marsh Lt. / Wing Cmdr. J.T. Marsh was the first leader of the Able Squad. In the third year of the war, he has been promoted to the rank of Wing Commander and henceforth had two units under his command, Able and Baker Squads, while Lt. Nara Burns became the new leader of the former. Over the years, J.T. Marsh has proven himself as a man whom people will follow - even being the most famous and successful exosquad leader of the Exofleet, he remained a modest, attentive and likable person. In fact, the only person who has ever truly hated him was Phaeton, the leader of Neosapiens, - as well as the only one who was equal to him in a hand-to-hand combat (except the Neo Lords), which clearly demonstrates Marsh's battle skills. One of his regular tactics in a space battle was to go for the enemy flagship, especially the well-defended bridge. Over the time, Marsh has developed a mutual tender relationship with Colleen O'Reilly, a Lieutenant of the Jumptroop Platoon. During the war, Marsh piloted a "Falcon" #AA-500 E-frame. JT Marsh. ...

Nara Burns Lt. Nara Burns was, apparently, the youngest member and the second leader of the Able Squad. Her parents died in the Neosapien assault on Venus but her brother James survived to lead the Venus' resistance force. After her brother has been badly injured and killed during the liberation of the planet, the Able Squad became Nara's only remaining family. During a mission in the Amazon Rainforests, she was injected with a unknown mutating agent by Dr. Ketzer, but its effects haven't fully manifested themselves until the war's end, when she managed to temporarily seize control of Phaeton's movements, stopping him from activating his doomsday device, and after the war, when she accidentially rapidly accelerated the growth of a plant. Ironically enough, being the least experienced (albeit talented) exotrooper, Nara Burns was the one to fire the last, and perhaps the most important, shot in the war - the one that killed Phaeton. Over the years, she developed a deep relationship with Marsala. Before her promotion, Burns shared with him a two-pilot #RA-678 E-frame, but later she applied for a #TB-024.

Maggie Weston Lt. Maggie Weston was the tech and repair specialist of the Able Squad. Her skills with machinery and weapons were comparable only with her resourcefulness - for example, she has been able to make any E-frame in any condition to fly again. In her personal affairs, however, Lt. Weston was not nearly as fortunate, in fact, she was often too shy and usually a loner. For a long time, she had a secret crush on Alec DeLeon, but before she could bring herself to admit it, DeLeon has been killed in action. It is suggested, however, that after his alleged resurrection by Professor Algernon, she has finally found some happiness. During the war, Weston piloted a #PO-024 Field Repair E-frame.

Rita Torres Sgt. Rita Torres was the second in the chain of command of the Able Squad. Not much is known about her past, except the fact that she hated the Pirate Clans, although it has been gradually revealed that she hated one specific pirate, Jubail, rather than all of them. Overall, she was a perfect soldier - smart, skilled and always following the regulations to a word (as opposite to Wolf Bronski's unorthodox stunts). It is said, that if soldiers could've been produced just as the E-frames, Rita Torres would have been a standard model. Her E-frame of choice during the war was an #LD-029.

Kaz Takagi Kaz Takagi was the second youngest member of the Able Squad. He has often been regarded as a rookie and a troublemaker, which is only half-true: he did cause a lot of trouble to his teammates, but never let them down in combat or otherwise. Kaz's E-frame, a #CR-001 Exofighter, was the only one in the squad that was incapable of ground combat, therefore he usually stayed in the air to provide aerial support and to scout the surroundings. A brilliant space pilot, Kaz Takagi deeply respected all fellow Able Squad members and especially regarded Wolf Bronski as his mentor. After the end of the war, Wing Cmdr. Marsh sent him to the Exofleet Academy "to learn some discipline". Image File history File links Kaz_Takagi_(Exosquad). ...

Alec DeLeon Alec DeLeon was the intelligence and communication specialist of the Able Squad. Prior to his military career, he was a petty thief in France and joined Exosquad much like men used to join the French Foreign Legion. Known for his ability to foresee every danger miles ahead and to escape even the severest firefights without a scratch on his E-frame, DeLeon has been J.T. Marsh's right-hand man all the way until the day he sacrificed himself to let Exofleet take control over the Moon. Much later, after the end of the war, Professor Algernon and Galba succeeded to create a new physical body and implant DeLeon's personality into it. Whether he has been truly resurrected, remains open. Prior to his (first) death, DeLeon piloted a "Wraith" SLR-345 E-frame. Image File history File links Alec_DeLeon_(Exosquad). ...

Wolf Bronski Wolf Bronski was the longest serving and therefore most experienced member of the Able Squad. His marksmanship and tactical skills were flawless, although his methods of achieving the goals have been questioned often enough. Never the less, he had a heart of gold and often patronized rookies in the squad like Kaz Takagi. On the other hand, he was a slob who couldn't care less for etiquette and common rules, although towards the end of the war he became a little more disciplined. It was also revealed that despite his slobenly ways, he was quite well educated in art. During one of his missions on Earth, he fell in love with Eve Hanley, which soon has become mutual. As the most experienced member of the Able Squad, Bronski was expecially fond of piloting one of the most dangerous and unstable E-frames of the Exofleet - a #BD-100.

Marsala Marsala was the only Neosapien and the oldest individual in the Able Squad. In fact, he had been one of the Neosapien rebellion leaders 50 years prior to the war and a close friend of Phaeton once, for they were created in the same brood, i.e. making them brothers. However, he swore an oath to serve the Exofleet and didn't break it even when it was the best choice for him and after that, he was marked a traitor who is to be killed immediately if captured among the Neosapiens.

In any case, Marsala still considered himself loyal to the Neosapiens as a species, and sought to work for their benefit at every turn which convinced him to lead the first rebellion, but also to oppose the second, as he felt that the Neosapiens should not enslave the Terrans as (or perhaps because) they themselves were enslaved once. It has been suggested that Chattel slavery be merged into this article or section. ...
Due to his origin, Marsala has been often mistreated by humans (although never by members of his squad) but has always stayed calm and indifferent about it. After the war, he lobbied to allow the creation of a final brood of Neosapiens, one that was capable of sexual reproduction. He shared his two-pilot #RA-678 E-frame with Lt. Nara Burns to whom he developed a deep emotional attachment over the course of time. After Burns' promotion, Marsala continued to pilot his #RA-678 alone, and at some point was promoted to Lieutenant. The beginning of his military serial number was EFN269 (he was rendered unconscious before he could complete it). Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring. ...
Alice Noretti Alice Noretti (†) was the first member of the Able Squad to be killed in battle. Her pod was destroyed in a freak accident during the jump-landing in her first (and last) mission on Earth and her death left a painful scar on J.T. Marsh's soul. Neo Megas used it to create a clone of Alice (the same technology that was later used to resurrect Alec DeLeon) and program it to get close to Lt. Marsh and kill Admiral Winfield thus reducing the morale of Exofleet. However, the programming didn't work as expected and the clone committed suicide.

Jumptroops Jumptroop Platoon played a crucial role in liberating the Homeworlds but until that, it wasn't of much importance. The main purpose of the Platoon was securing the surface areas side by side with exosquads (e.g. the Able Squad), so it can be considered a sort of space infantry. All jumptroops had to use ultralight E-frames (much more agile than typical ones, but incapable of flying and much more vulnerable) and special jump-pods (hence the name) to reach the surface of the planets from their dropships that usually stayed in the outer space. In the series, the main focus is on the Charlie-Five (C5) Squadron commanded by Avery F. Butler. Platoon is a term from military science. ...

Avery F. Butler Capt. Avery F. Butler was the first leader of the Charlie-Five Squadron of the Jumptroop Platoon. He was an expert in everything regarding battle and morale - weapons, E-frames, communications, even war cries. A perfect soldier and a great leader, he was to the Jumptroops what J.T. Marsh was to the exotroopers - when Butler spoke, Charlie-Five Squadron listened. Avery Butler was severely injured during the liberation of Earth and Lt. Colleen O'Reilly had to take over the command. During the war, his E-frame of choice was an #AD-014. Following Phaeton's defeat, Butler was appointed the chief instructor at the Exofleet Academy.

Over the time, she developed a tender relationship with J.T. Marsh but following Butler's incapacitation she was forced to assume the command over the squadron and to put all relationships aside for a while. During the war, O'Reilly used an #LS-042 E-frame.

Yuri Stavrogan Lt. Yuri Stavrogan (†) was one of the most skilled E-frame pilots of the Exofleet although he always lacked discipline and subordination. This quality often caused him trouble, so he was being constantly transferred from exosquad to exosquad but couldn't fit in anywhere. He was briefly a member of the Able Squad during the reconquest of Mercury, however, after the he and Kaz Takagi defied their orders to chase the elusive Neosapien Thrax, Stavrogan has been reassigned once again. Shortly before the liberation of Earth, he was promoted to an exosquad leader, commanding the Fox Squad of an unknown flight unit, but his entire team was wiped out during the first attack on the Neo Lord breeding facility in Antarctica. He barely survived that slaughter and stuck with the Able Squad until his tragic death during the unsuccessful quest for Phaeton's doomsday device at the Great Slave Lake facility.

Spaceships At the beginning of the war, Exofleet possessed the six most powerful space vessels in the entire Solar System - the Exo-Frame carrier ships or simply, exocarriers, by far the largest ships in the known space inspired by 20th century aircraft carriers. Their primary function as mother ships is to deploy and recover much smaller Exofleet ships, such as space fighters, E-frames and jumptroops' dropships (frequently referred as "jumpships") in battle. Apart from these, Exofleet also had numerous space cruisers and frigates, whose number was further increased by the Pirate Clans when they sided with Winfield.
