One of the technicians from Betafarl who travelled to Xenon. He died when the radioactive airborne virus planted by Zukan was released. Zeeona recognised him as he died, calling out his name.
Servalan's aide on her visit to Freedom City. His position or rank was never specified, nor indeed his purpose. He appeared to have trouble understanding Servalan's plans, rather limiting his usefulness, and was unaware that Travis had previously worked with Servalan. He might not have been a Federation officer at all, especially given the nature of her visit to Freedom City. He did, however, disconnect Travis" artificial arm under Servalan's direction, and may thus have been a cybersurgeon. Travis described him as looking "like a powderpuff".
| Formerly a Captain in the Federation's space fleets, when he had commanded the kairopan shuttle at the previous harvest (although Del Tarrant, then a lieutenant, described that as his own first command). Contemptuous of the Federation's willing dependence on computers he resigned the service and became a labourer in the construction grades. Servalan consulted his file, which was shown to bear the number X250824 - whether this was from his Space Command days or his new position in life was never specified. | |
| Jarvik claimed that "any fool with three pursuit ships" could take the Liberator, and as an acting major proved it to Servalan, misquoting the Duke of Wellington in the process. She offered him co-rulership of the Federation with her, on condition he retrieve the crew's teleport bracelets after they had been marooned on Kairos. He defeated Tarrant in a one-to-one contest, and was grappling with Dayna when he was forced to teleport aboard. He died when he tried to prevent Shad shooting Dayna in cold blood. |
| Described by Servalan as a "superior grade citizen of the Federation", Jenna first met Blake in the holding cell awaiting transportation to Cygnus Alpha, where she described herself as a "free trader", which Vila interpreted as meaning smuggler. |  In The Way Back |
| She joined Blake in attempting to take the London, and was put aboard the drifting Liberator with Blake and Avon. She remained with Blake, leaving with him, according to Cally, when the ship had to be abandoned in the closing stages of the Intergalactic War. On Sarran, Avon was told by Zen that she was on a hospital ship with superficial injuries, and in Powerplay Zen stated that Jenna was injured whilst in her life capsule and was now en route to Morphenniel on a neutral cargo ship. She would thus appear to have been separated from Blake soon after leaving the Liberator. |
| Some hints of her past prior to meeting Blake are given in some episodes. In Project Avalon it was revealed that she had met Avalon before, but only once in unspecified circumstances. The android Avalon did not appear to recognise her, and Jenna showed no surprise at this. In Bounty she was reunited with the Amagon pirate Tarvin, with whom she had hid from 300 customs guards in the mountains on Zolat-4. She saved Tarvin's life during this period. In Shadow she revealed that she had previously dealt with Largo (whom she denied was her "friend"), and that she had refused to run a consignment of shadow from Callisto to Earth once she found out what it was. Fear of the death penalty was not her reason for turning the offer down. She was arrested soon after, and later suspected Largo of having a hand in this. It may well have been this arrest that led to her being shipped to Cygnus Alpha. This was not, however, explicitly stated. |  |
Bodycount: In Time Squad she asked Avon if he thought he could kill someone face-to-face, and didn't sound too sure of her own ability to do so. However, Jenna can claim to be the first person to score a kill with a Liberator handgun, killing two of the guardians in Time Squad. She later claimed at least 4 troopers in Project Avalon. In Gambit Blake had to persuade her not to kill Travis. She effectively killed Molok by teleporting him into deep space.
Significant brawls: Jenna grappled with two of the programmed guardians; fought Keera in Duel; disabled three of Tarvin's henchmen; and knocked out a scavenger on Cephlon in trying to escape from their camp.
Significant injuries: Injuries were few: she was hit on the left shoulder by a tool thrown by one of the programmed guardians; knocked unconscious by Gan when his limiter malfunctioned; rendered unconscious by the scavengers; affected by severe radiation sickness as a result of visiting Cephlon; tortured by the Kommissar on Horizon; and was reported by Zen as having suffered superficial injuries in a life capsule malfunction when abandoning Liberator during the Intergalactic War.
Captured by: Keera in Duel (who wanted to take blood from her, but was stopped from doing so by Travis); by the Amagons in Bounty, although she was allowed a limited amount of freedom; by the scavengers in Deliverance, where her attempt to escape failed and she was rescued by Avon; by the Altas in Redemption; by the natives of Horizon, where she was tortured by the Kommissar and forced to work in the mines; and by Molok, whom she later teleported into space. In The Web her mind was temporarily under the control of Saymon, who used her as a mouthpiece to talk to the rest of the crew. In The Keeper she was temporarily transfixed by Tara's powers.
Notable rescues: She rarely had the opportunity to risk her life saving other members of the crew, but betrayed Tarvin's trust in her to release the others in Bounty, and teleported down to Earth in Pressure Point, where she used Servalan as a hostage to secure the release of Blake, Avon, Vila and Gan from Travis. By teleporting Molok into deep space in Hostage she prevented Travis from gaining control of the Liberator.
| Places visited: Jenna set foot on UP-Duel, UP-Project Avalon, Cephlon, Space World, Space City, Zonda, Horizon, Earth, Exbar, Asteroid P-K118, Atlay, Freedom City, and Goth - a total of 13 planets/space stations. If what Blake told Tarrant is to be believed, she also spent some time on Gauda Prime. |  In Weapon |
 In Horizon | Her chief skill was in piloting, and on a few occasions it was only her expertise that saved the ship and its crew. Blake gave her control of the ship in Duel whilst he discussed strategy with Avon and Cally, and in Breakdown where he had to hunt down an escaped Gan as the ship plunged into a gravitation vortex. Jenna's knowledge of space craft was useful on many occasions, and her prior contacts with such people as Avalon, Tarvin and Largo suggest that she had widely travelled before being arrested (although her meeting with Largo was on Callisto, in the Solar System). |
| Other notable actions include persuading Blake not to grieve over Cally's apparent death in Seek-Locate-Destroy, working with Cally to distract Chenie as Blake hunted for Docholli in Gambit, and informing the Federation of the approaching alien fleet in Star One. Renor in Breakdown described her as "a celebrity", indicating how Blake and his crew were becoming well known for their exploits |  |
 In Killer | Jenna frequently exhibited a mind full of strong, perhaps even fixed opinions. She took an instant dislike to Cally, apparently centred on the fact that Cally was an alien: it was some while before they were evidently friends. Although her personal commitment to Blake's cause was unsteady, she had a very definite view of the Federation. "They're human", said Blake, of the Federation personnel on Fosforon, to which Jenna replied, "I need proof of that". Cally in The Web told her she was "very practical", and she proved to be decisive in thought and readily prepared, if not always willing, to take risks. |
Jenna was last mentioned by Blake on Gauda Prime, where he described her to Tarrant as a "young smuggler, actually", who had taught him how to use a random flight program. He further explained that she died running the blockade around the planet, and hit the self-destruct, taking "half a squadron of gunships with her".
Planet on which Blake reportedly died of his wounds and was cremated a year before the Liberator was destroyed at Terminal. Servalan told Avon this, and she appeared to believe it, untrue though it later turned out to be. Did Blake's clone (from Weapon) die here?
A number of rare minerals, highly valued for at least two reasons. First, as gemstones, used in jewellery as a decoration, and second, for commercial and industrial purposes. Jewels were mentioned and seen loose in nine episodes:
1. Cygnus Alpha: Jewels were part of the wealth in the strong room discovered by Jenna aboard the Liberator. Avon brought some of the wealth to the teleport area in a bag, and poured it out in front of her. It included white, blue and green stones. 2. Project Avalon: The Federation were on the planet where Avalon's resistance group operated because of the discovery there of 'ice crystals' which were, according to Avon, 'gemstones of outstanding purity and hardness', used by the Federation in heavy duty lasers. They were 'unique and as such quite valuable'. 3. Shadow: (a) Bek and Hanna took a bag of jewels from someone, as part of a deal made with Largo; but after giving it to the latter, they took it back when he threatened to renege on the deal. (b) Blake offered two large stones to Largo for his services as a go-between. While Largo disclaimed any connection with the Terra Nostra, he admitted that the stones were 'beautiful', and said that he could make an offer for them. 4. Powerplay: Avon spotted Harmon, one of Klegg's troopers, coming out of one of the Liberator's sections with a bag. That section contained, according to Avon, 'considerable sums of various currencies, rare metals, precious stones and the like. He [Harmon] was coming out of the strong room'. Tarrant, after shooting Harmon, emptied the bag, which contained white, blue, green and orange stones. 5. Sarchophagus: After uncovering the ring on the alien corpse, Cally commented that 'These jewels must be priceless'. Vila, his greed aroused, said 'Jewels?' and tried to take the ring, but was stopped by Cally. 6. Moloch: Grose confirmed to Servalan that the energy-mass transmuters on Sardos could produce precious stones, gems and crystals, among other things, as long as they had 'the original pattern to work from'. 7. Power: After his capture by the Hommiks, Avon claimed that he had been looking for dynamon crystals . Gunn-Sar said that they were rare, but that they had all been dug up. He thought them 'useless', because their only use was for womens' jewellery, calling them 'Expensive baubles for the ladies'. 8. Games: The episode revolved aropung the attempt by the Scorpio's crew to steal feldon, the 'hardest known' substance in the universe, and at the time 'the most valuable' because it was extremely rare. It was 'much prized as a precious stone' until its 'industrial and commercial uses' were discovered, due to its 'infinite' ability to concentrate energy. At least two loose feldon crystals were seen in the episode, one or both being handled by Avon, Tarrant and Gerren. 9. Blake: As a reward for bringing in Arlen alive, Blake was given a bag of jewels. The stones, seen in his hands, were red, blue, green and black in colour. Later, in order to test Tarrant, Blake gave him the bag, which he alleged was advance payment for a consignment of arms from some gunrunners whom he believed were going to cheat him. Tarrant took out and looked at some of the jewels, put them back, then returned the bag to Blake, having seen through the test. See also DYNAMON, ICE CRYSTALS, JEWELLERY, FELDON.
| A Councillor, one who had supported Servalan's appointment to Supreme Commander. He expressed dissatisfaction in the way Blake had not been brought to trial, adding, "Order - it is all that matters". He described himself as making a "dangerous enemy". He tried to contact Servalan whilst she was on her way to Exbar, but the call was ignored on her orders. |  |
| Computer that assimilated defence and prosecution evidence in court. The arbiter at Blake's trial on Earth told him that the Judgement Machine had taken into account his "past record, loyalty to the state and service to the Federation" - none of which had mitigated in his favour. |  |
Two trials were shown in the series, Blake's on Earth and Travis" on Servalan's command station. In both cases a verdict was delivered by a judgement program after prosecution and defence evidence was submitted to a computer, called a Judgement Machine in The Way Back (in Trial evidence was submitted to a Judgement Program). Sentencing was the responsibility of a tribunal presided over by an arbiter. In Travis" court-martial defence and prosecution counsels were allowed the chance to speak, something which was not seen in Blake's case, perhaps because he offered no defence.
Department of the Administration. Arbiter General on Earth was Ven Glynd, and he appointed Tel Varon as Blake's defence counsel. Varon could use his credentials to access information in the Public Records Computer, at least as far as his Priority-3 clearance allowed.
| Variously described as a genetic engineer "amongst other things" and an expert on working in highly radioactive areas, Justin was head of a scientific warfare team sent to Bucol-2 to work on a top secret experiment in genetic engineering, creating intelligent, radiation-proof creatures to act as shock troops in contaminated zones (normal troop loss was 60% in such areas, due to the radiation). When the other scientists left towards the end of the Intergalactic War (and were shot down by an enemy gunship on their departure), he elected to remain, to continue with the experiments and look after the animals he had helped to create. He was still there when Dayna arrived, intending to conscript him and his skills for Avon's struggle against the Federation. Avon thought he might be able to engineer an antidote to pylene-50. Dayna was unaware that Justin had worked for the Federation, and Avon was presumably likewise misinformed - no information was given as to how Justin's location was traced (by Orac?) without any indication of who had sent him to Bucol-2 in the first place. |  |
