Marat is the leader of the second voyage from Earth. He stands 6'2, and is always wearing his Ushanka (big fuzzy Russian hat.) He is intelligent, brave, and caring, however; he is willing to sacrifice the few to save the many. On earth, Marat was a military general; qualified to lead the second voyage from Earth to planet Omega. Marat did not think twice when he was asked to lead the voyage. Earth is dying, he knew it, and wanted a fresh start. Marat's voyage is filled with convicts and low lifes. The United Nations needed to send a group of people who were expendible, with the exceptions of a few. To keep the ship running and everything on schedule. Earth had, had no communication with the the frst voyage since they left 155 years ago. Earth did not even know if it was survivable, hence this voyage of convicts. They still needed good leadership though, that is why Marat voluntered to lead the voyage.
