Chris Pine would play Chambers in a film |
Andrew
Chambers, the helmsman on the Kestrel, is human, from Earth. He
joined the Kestrel a year before the first story, Intruders.
There is an incident in his past which nearly finished his PACT
career. Only the Captain and First Officer know the details, but
there was an accident, and Chambers blames himself. If he had truly
been negligent or careless he would have been prosecuted, so he is
not as culpable as he feels he is. But because of it, it was
difficult for him to find a posting.
Captain
Darrow gave him a chance and has been building his confidence. He is
only in his early thirties and has many years of service ahead of
him, if he can regain his self-confidence. The helmsman Grey Lanx has
just left the Kestrel, so Darrow has promoted Chambers to helmsman.
Chambers wants to do well, but will his confidence desert him in a
tight spot? Will the animosity of Roy Stubbs undermine him?
Chambers
takes Tabitha Enns under his wing, when she is whisked away from the
PACT Training School to fill a temporary gap in the crew, and the two
become good friends.
Chambers'
grandfather fought as a volunteer in the Casparian struggle for
independence from Ochra, and when the Ochran representative on the
main mission in Intruders
finds out, he demands justice under the Ochran rule of family
responsibility. Will this jeopardise the mission? What did his
grandfather do? This is another mystery to solve, but Chambers turns
out to be a good diplomat.
