No Guts, No Galaxy.
Okay, this campaign is well, about a bunch of new figher jocks fresh out of an acadamy... And on their first assignment... Whoo!
Now, you may be wondering why all of the PCs would be on the same ship as everyone else. Here's why.
In the future, humanity has spread to the stars like a plague, and many of the alien races who've been there for a while have reacted differently. Some extended 'brotherly love.' Others shrugged and moved on, some thought 'profit' when they saw Humanity's new markets, others said 'Kill the Space Apes... Whatever apes are!" Others have extended alliances, not "Welcome to the starz, man..." But the kind of... "Hey look, you're new, and we seem to be the local welcoming committee. Here's what we propose..."
Either way, regardless of what really went on... You all became fighter jocks, and managed to even graduate. Now you've been stationed on a Teir Class Dreadnaught, a Sector Control Vessel. This monstrosity of a combat ship was first developed by the Terrans, and is armed to the teeth and more heavily armored and shielded then pertty much anything seen to date, except for a Zurian ubar-battleship, which hasn't been in combat for hundreds of years. But they cannot match the amount of firepower put out by a Teir. Amount of firepower, not sheer firepower. A Kato, the Zurian Battleship could quite easily crush a Teir in a one-on-one fight, but it only has 10 anti-capital ship weapons, while the Teir has on the order of around 50.
However, the sector that your Teir is in, the Salamis, there have been strange going ons. Civilian Freighters disappearing without a trace, only to reappear weeks later, battered and missing a crew. As such, the Terran Naval High Command has ordered the Salamis into Yellow Condition, which means the party's over.

Like it or not. No "I'm t3h r0x0r uB4R f1973R j0ck. i pwnz all of j00." types. We(Read: I don't like your kind, for at least the beginning of the campaign.) Don't like your kind.
That means...
Here's what you can't have.
-Magic/Psionics. Are you really going to bust out your magic attacks going 350000 kps in the middle of a dog-fight?
-Telepathy, on the other hand is limited to level 1, with the cavaet that you really only have to focus on your opponent. Shouldn't be too hard when you're riding their a** in said dog-fight. Conversely, you can have Mind Shield of 3 max.
-An ACV/DCV over 7
-The highest skills you can have, for now is 4 in Mecha Piloting (Fighter), -Ranged Defense, Heavy Gunnery (Mecha), and Mechanic (Mecha)
-Mechanical Genius over level 1
-Own a Big Mecha: Level 4 is the max. The Mecha *MUST* have the following defects: Owned by a Megacorp level 1 and Awkward Size 2
-Massive Damage: level 3
-Any obviously supernatural thing other then Sixth Sense.
Other then that, have fun.
-Please make your fighter have some sort of standardization, just to make the NPC techs have an easier time fabricating spare parts for your shot up fighter... So, say it came from somewhere...
Okay, you have 50 CP max, but defects you can't have are: Red Tape 2, Grrl/Boy Magnet 2, and any obvious sensory problem that isn't related to sight/hearing, more then 1 pt. Nobody should have Haunted, due to the fact that you're green as you can be.
Okay, a few things I would like to see that's at least semi-standard.
Since you're all human, whether you like or not, the humans while they have about sixty different strike craft (That's a class, see Interceptors, corvettes (Bigger interceptors, slower, but nastier in the end.), each with its own capabilities, but similarities...
Let's attempt to have at least *some* standardization.
--Heavy Armor 2 to 4 is pretty much required. I'll be laying off of the Armor Penetrating as much as possible. Only Ruriroth really knows my facination for Armor Penetrating 2. To help facilitate this, I've added in an option; While standard heavy armor costs 3/level.
--Hardened Armor:
--Increase the cost by 1 point. (To 4 in this campaign). The Mecha or Character has Hardened Armor. It can't be combined with Hidden Armor, due to the massive sets of armor plating. It reduces the Armor Penetrating Effect of a weapon by 1 level. So if an AP 1 weapon hits something with Armor Penetrating, the armor still absorbs full value of the attack. If smashed by AP 2 weaponry, The AP effect is reduced to AP 1. Now if its some sort of attack like having something inside the target's armor (i.e. teleporting a bomb, something along the lines of that.) then the effect is still AP 2. It's up the the GM's discretion in this one. Weapon with no AP value are not effected by this attribute. Due to the advanced construction techniques and the armorer's mastery of their craft, it does not affect manuvreability in any shape or form. For creatures, they well, evolved with it and adapted to it.
--Space Flight level 3 is required, otherwise you're dead meat, unless you've got something going on. (i.e. Running a Corvette, which usually has a turret or two.)
--Life Support 2. Need I go on?
--Weapon Attack: Okay, since Fighters, Bombers, etc. Can't really carry the heaviest of weaponry, I'm limiting Armor Penetrating and Force Field Penetrating to level 1. No attack can smash more then 60 points of damage, base. OSKs are still allowed if you've got the weapon and they've got the weakness.
--Force Fields. See Heavy Armor.
Everyone should have those, at the very least. Whatever else you want that isn't too crazy, like making your fighter go etheral(sp?) is too crazy so that isn't allowed. Anything along the lines of that.
--Whatever else you damn well want to put on the jet is fine. The Teir can manufacture its own fighters if need be. (Meaning if you don't want to make one, I'll make you one. No, I don't screw people over mercilessly. In fact, you might get something quite good.)
For those of you who want Corvettes. (Bigger fighters, carry turrets, generally tougher,) We'll need to figure something out.

Corvettes are two man ships, three for the bigger ones (Now for Blantant Homeworld 1 Rip off: Multi guns require 3 guys.)
So, I would say you're better off with Servant to represent the gunner/pilot. Not to mention that Flunkies are not really useful, while a Servant would be combat worthy.

Holy Mother of Cats.
That is a damn cool ship.
I like this idea, and been craving a sci fi adventure for a while. I'll write up a character by tomorrow, if it's cool by you?

Looks good, though somewhat better formatting (See the Teir for an example) For the mecha would be nice. But that's just a nitpick of mine, so don't worry about it.

Desc: 5'8"; lightly built but with curves in all the right places, 130 lbs.; greenish hazel eyes and auburn hair cut at a conservative shoulder length with a slight curl to give it bounce and character.
Other: grew up with Danny as the girl next door and they became fast friends at age 6 because of the same name.

They joined the military and Dani was soon enlisted under her best friend in the same flight. Now she teases him constantly and eggs him on in competitions and reckless behavior. Quite the tomboy, Dani also has a feminine side, which she is loathe to reveal in Danny's presence.
