If i was a starcaster i would require the ship tech to create a fake one for my other arm. You never know what the enemy would cut first in a dire moment :) So this can be another chance for me.
I like how even the starcasters are of rank "major". Yeah buddy you are one of our two doomsday weapon of world ending scale and no way we can replace you or create more of you but ... we will name you just a "sergeant"/"lieutenant". Know your place! Jokes aside I like their humility - the scene where the other starcaster was asked for "can he sense a starcaster being used". The guy is just "one of the privates reporting here sir".
*Disclaimer, I have never been in the military* This strikes me more as the difference between being really good at your job, and being able to lead and command other people. A specialist as opposed to a commander. So while I don't doubt that both Majors could be groomed to command battalions of their own, what they are currently both good at is being a living weapon. They are still ordered currently to go to targets and blow them up. It's like if a tank crew refused the orders of a general just because they have 120mm cannon, and the general might be armed with a sidearm. Wouldn't trust the tanker to suddenly lead an entire infantry unit effectively.
So, here I am, thinking the Starcasters each have different powers. Or at least unlock different portions of genetic code that result in different powers. And this one may be more Green Lantern than Capt Marvel, despite the alien mohawk.
Looks more like horns than a mohawk.
well this just got way more interesting
So apparently if you're good enough with the Starcaster you gain powers similar to Captain Marvel. That kinda makes me wonder what the point of military starships even is in a major conflict, as one virtually invincible Starcaster wielder could easily destroy an entire fleet without the need for support from military vessels.
It seems they do not have ubiquity or teleportation yet and can die if they use it too much
