List of characters in Storm Hawks

This is a list of characters in the YTV series Storm Hawks.

The fictional universe of Storm Hawks centers on travel by flight and a variety of geographic locations. As such, some characters are named after weather conditions, birds, or flight-related terms.

The Storm Hawks are the primary protagonists of the series. The Storm Hawks took their name from a previous Sky Knight squadron which was taken down by the Dark Ace, the newer one having adopted the name (and their carrier) in their honor. In "Origins", it is revealed that Aerrow, Piper and Finn are orphans whose families and homes were destroyed by Cyclonians, while Junko was part of a Cyclonian Youth Brigade. Meanwhile, Stork fled to the Wastelands, where he found, repaired and even upgraded the Condor after his home was invaded by the Cyclonians. Unlike other squadrons, the Storm Hawks don't have a home terra as they defend all of Atmos.

The Storm Hawks' carrier ship is the Condor. The Condor belonged to the original Storm Hawks, the current ones having found it long after it crashed and repaired it. As befitting a carrier, the Condor possesses a large hangar with a decent flight deck for vehicles to take off from. There are living quarters for seven or more people. The ship has two 60 ft (18 m) periscopes for outside observation. However, given the generous window design of the bridge, the forward view is more than sufficient.

For propulsion, the Condor has two main engines built into the massive, pontoon-like structures that make up the main portion of the ship. A pair of secondary engines built onto the living area of the ship provide for maneuvering, and a rudder is attached to the stern to assist. During periods of inactivity, the ship can hover or land. Six anchors built into both the forward pontoons and living section allow the ship to anchor itself to cliffs, though the engines still need to be running to avoid over-stressing the anchors.

For armament, the Condor possesses two energy cannons that can be controlled by the pilot. In addition, the ship has at least two more manually operated energy cannons (mostly used by Finn and Junko), mounted in retractable positions in the side, that must be prepped for service before use. The vessel also has shields (whether they were powered or ablative is unknown), though they are knocked out in the first episode (permanently, according to Stork).
