Ricco Sander

Ricco Sander serves as the Chief Security Officer aboard the Celestial Odyssey. He belongs to a reptilian desert-born species whose true native language cannot be properly pronounced by most galactic races. To make communication easier among the crew, he adopted the simpler name “Ricco” after joining interstellar service.
His people evolved on a harsh desert world of scorching winds, rocky wastelands, and ancient stone cities buried beneath endless dunes. Survival on their homeworld demanded strength, discipline, and unwavering loyalty to clan and kin. As a result, Ricco’s species developed a fierce warrior culture built around honor, protection, and personal responsibility.
Though many outsiders see his people as aggressive or intimidating, Ricco values restraint just as much as strength. He joined the Celestial Odyssey not only to protect its crew, but also to better understand the wider galaxy and prove that his people are more than warriors alone.
As Chief Security Officer, Ricco oversees shipboard safety, defense protocols, emergency response teams, and combat readiness. While calm and professional during duty, he becomes fiercely protective when the crew is threatened.
His quarters are decorated with ceremonial curved blades, desert relics, and cultural artifacts from his homeworld. Despite adapting to life aboard a starship, he still follows many traditions of his people, including consuming meals using his agile tongue and honoring warriors through ritual respect before battle.
Though intimidating at first glance, Ricco has earned the trust of the crew through loyalty, discipline, and a quiet sense of honor.
