Backstory
Captain Hera is an unconventional officer by Starfleet standards. As a child of Betazoid trade negotiators who used their telepathy to get the best possible deals, she quickly learned that secrets are power and that playing fair is a mug's game. Despite an impish sense of humor and a slight ruthless streak, her loyalty to the crew is absolute. Her schemes are to protect them.
Perhaps her most unusual trait is the way she hand-picks her main officers: she ferrets out skilled people's secrets and helps cover them up, in exchange for them transferring to her crew.

Backstory
Mr Flynn grew up on a far-flung colony where he learned the basics of working with tech. Whether it's glitchy computers or failing power generators, there was always something to fix. That's about all he's willing to tell.

Backstory
Vyla is a young firebrand who drinks, laughs, and punches like a klingon. She seems a bit untempered for her role but so far has performed it well and she's wildly popular with the crew - the fact that Orion females can release pheromones which can enthrall the males of most species might also have something to do with that.
In the episode "Adrift" it was revealed that she has an impressive collection of energy weapons. There's also a hidden section on her personnel file, locked behind Starfleet Intelligence encryption.

Backstory
Miss Wilton was born on Mars, the third child of a pair of starship designers at Utopia Planitia. From a young age she learned all about warp fields and starship specs. But she didn't want to design ships that can fly - she wanted to go fly. To be out there, to use those machines for what they were made to do.

Emergency Medical Hologram, Mark IV

The Mark IV EMH has full range of the Hyperion, thanks to holo-emitters spread out all over the ship. It can exist in three separate instances at once, provided they are not all within the same area of the ship as that could overload the local pattern buffer. Each crewmember can separately assign their own preferred parameters for the EMH from a vast pre-selected library, giving it all sorts of possible appearances, voices, and mannerisms. The computer scans the situation prior to materializing the hologram and selects the most appropriate form according to present crew and detected situation. (Caitian nurse is by far the most preferred appearance amongst the crew.)
