A young man from the nonfederated planet of Verguld.
He is the captain of the merchant vessel Ydas under Lawrence Logistics, a company run by his family.
His confidence often sees him rushing recklessly into situations when it comes to his friends and work, much to the distress of the Ydas crew.
Raymond has a big heart, affable nature, and a good nose for business.
His lack of affiliation with the Pangalactic Federation means he is not bound by the Underdeveloped Planet Preservation Pact. This sincere openness to meet others where they’re at regardless of technological advancement wins Laeticia over, but leaves Albaird wary.
Laeticia (voiced by Inori Minase in Japanese)
- Weapon: Dual Blades
Princess of the Kingdom of Aucerius: a large territory located on the underdeveloped planet of Aster IV.
Her radiant and resolute personality is admired throughout the kingdom, but her prim demeanor betrays her penchant for wearing armor and remarkable skill with the dual blades.
In order to remedy the encroaching threat of a neighboring country, Laeticia sets off on a secret journey to locate a certain individual. She meets Raymond along the way, recently stranded on Aster IV. The two agree to help one another and begin traveling together.
Albaird (voiced by Natsuki Hanae in Japanese)
- Weapon: Chakrams
A childhood friend of Laeticia’s, he now serves her as a knight of the Kingdom of Aucerius.
He excels at semiomancy and the wielding of chakram. His strong sense of loyalty to Laeticia means he is never far from her side. Albaird’s left arm is covered down to his fingertips, and he occasionally gestures as if to protect it.
He does not trust Raymond upon meeting him while escorting Laeticia on her secret journey. Loathe to go against her wishes, however, he reluctantly allows Raymond to join them.
Elena (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki in Japanese)

She manages the operation of just about the entirety of the ship, and her vast knowledge and cool demeanor have earned her the complete trust of Raymond and the crew.
