The Initial Crew of the White Chalice.

The comm opens for general posting to those who are aboard the White Chalice on Monday, June 20th. That said, we don't know who is with the White Chalice fleet from the beginning of the game. This post's purpose is to rectify this fact

The 501st Joint Fighter Wing (essentially current Strike Witches) will be starting aboard the White Chalice. (This is currently Mio Sakamoto and Lynette Bishop). The unit was formed as the means to address the growing Neuroi threat in Earth. Unlike the rest of the Strike Witches of the world, they are a tactical offensive unit."

While Witches are posted worldwide, the 501st is explicitly assigned to the White Chalice. While they answer to the ship's line of command, their military officials orders rank above those of the Chalice's.

Simply, if the Chalice says "go do it", but their officials say "no, you stay put", they have to stay put.

Char Aznable, following his deserting Axis due to a disagreement with Haman Karn's idea of conquering Earthoids, joined the White Chalice crew instead of taking up the mantle of Quattro Bajeena. As such, Char is considered AWOL by the Neo Zeon faction, though his loyalty will remain to his father's idea of humans migrating into space to achieve their full potential.

He is currently stationed onboard the White Chalice as a mech pilot.

Due to rising tensions around the world, Garderobe has had heavy pressure put on them to align themselves and the Otome technology with a country. To avoid that, the school has relocated itself to White Chalice, most importantly, the crypt of the Predecessor.

Though the students have been given a blanket authorization to Materialize their Robes to help out around the ship, they have been instructed not to participate in any military maneuvers or battles... However, Arika Yumemiya is not very good at following instructions.

Following a tentative alliance with White Chalice, Asuka has been sent as NERV's official envoy on base. She's been instructed to assist them however possible while keeping tabs on the ever looming Angel threat. She's itching for a fight and more than ready to prove herself among her new comrades!

...oh, and she doesn't really mind being apart from Shinji and Rei, either. They were just slowing her down, anyway!

Perrine's on the White Chalice with the rest of the 501st. Milfie, on the other hand, will have to wait for her plot to kick in, as will... most to all of the rest of my to-app list, I believe.
