The one downside of the crew of the USS Leaky Bucket is that they're all gremlins. While this does mean they will never un out of a well trained crew so long as there's a working shower, gremlins having genetic memory, there's a maturity issue to keep in mind. The longer a gremlin lives, the more able it is to handle and control its more berserk tendencies.
New crewmembers have a tendency to go a bit nuts, trying to take the ship apart and killing everything in sight that's not another gremlin...sometimes even then. The current captain is the original graduate of the academy, managing to survive so long only by outthinking and anticipating the actions of its spawn.
On a final note, while gremlins are often though of as being male, mogwai too, they are in fact genderless.
