Stephanie Hodges

A major in the Federation Marines and a friend of Lisa Beck for years and years. Hodges was the pilot of the USS Mongoose, the Marines' transport ship. Beck and Hodges met at the age of seven while they both lived in North Carolina. Hodges, along with Colonel Martin Lazlo, was one of the only two marines to not fall victim to the vicious squirrels on Ridalis Four. Hodges was a fearful child, afraid to enter her own basement until she was twelve or to ask Barry Jensen to homecoming her sophomore year of high school. (Send The Marines [WAY]) Hodges did not join the bulk of the marines who decided to resign and follow Leximas. (This Is Only A Test [WAY]) Hodges flew the Runabout Yadkin in the battle to retake Waystation from the Starshine Kids. (Lip Lock [WAY])

After returning to Waystation from a three-week training mission with the Federation Marines, Stephanie Hodges found that the station's command crew were all exhausted despite the fact that they all claimed to have been in bed by 2300 hours. Hodges investigated and discovered that the command crew had been hypnotized and were being used at night as employees at a secret casino and entertainment complex at the bottom of the station. Hodges and the Federation Marines mounted a rescue and shut down the operation. (Moonlight Sonata [WAY])
