Biography
Jan Hopper supervises the repair decks and carries the practical mindset of someone who has spent more time fixing ships than talking about them. If a hull comes in damaged, Hopper wants the facts, the fault and the fastest honest estimate.
He earned his place on the carrier by keeping aging commercial craft operational far past the point other crews would have written them off. That experience made him resourceful, skeptical and exceptionally good under pressure.
When engineering needs a problem solved quickly, Hopper is usually already halfway through solving it.
