Answer: Hisa

The Hisa worship their planet's Sun and are willing to go to work on the space station in exchange for being allowed to view the Sun from the viewports. The Sun is not as clearly visible from the planet's surface for most of the time due to the weather systems there.

Answer: Q

The sections of the station containing the refugees are sealed off to prevent the lawlessness and rioting spreading. The sealed section is referred to as 'Q' for Quarantine.
Many of the refugees are robbed, beaten, and even murdered by gangs of their fellows who organise themselves to run Q section for their own gain.

Answer: Alicia Konstantin

Alicia Konstantin is the Mother of Damon and Emilio. She is a paraplegic after an accident and is dependent on mechanical life support systems.
