Amuro Ray
When Char Aznable attacks the colony, Side 7, all the officers on the "White Base" are incapacitated, leaving Ensign with the highest seniority on the ship, and he assumes command from the wounded Captain Paolo Cassius, who later dies of his injuries. After a series of close calls and with help from Amuro Ray and the Gundam, Bright brings the "White Base" safely to Federation headquarters at Jaburo. Because of the Zeon forces obsession with the "White Base", the Federation allows Bright to remain in command and sends the ship out as a decoy. Bright commands the "White Base" through several major operations in The One Year War, including the last stand of Zeon at asteroid A Baoa Qu.
