 Key characters from the game - Chris Bainfield, Sid Wilson, Kline Kethlan, Krass Tyler, and Phoebe and Ursula Lexx - are all given prominent roles, while WEAPCO is presented as the "Wade Ellen Asset Protection Corporation" (by way of a backronym).The most substantial change was that the starfighter itself that Chris flew during the game is now sentient in the book.The fighter goes by the name of Athena.
