Henry Stanton

Henry Stanton was a pilot of the ship Draco, one of the British Imperial Fleet heading to the Moon in 1878.

After the ship was shot down with a powerful weapon by the natives, he landed the Lynx perfectly on the ground. However, Captain Green took no notice. Green then broke the team into two groups, where they would investigate the forest. Stanton wanted to disagree, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

After the men scattered when a giant creature arrived. Stanton found Green pleading for his life. He was whining loudly and so Stanton was forced to close his mouth as the creature arrived.

Two days later, he arrived back at the Draco, the only survivor from the party that went into the forest. He told the crew that they needed to get the ship back in order before any more creatures attacked.

When the Doctor arrived in the ship's wreckage, he offered to help, which Stanton was unsure about, but allowed it in the end. They soon realised from all the dead bodies that Stanton had mutinied against his own men, just so that he could be leader.

He was surprised to discover that a vicious and merciless creature, known as the Vrall had entered, unnoticed, onto their ship and had killed their navigator.

With the help of Turlough and a few remaining soldier, he searched every deck of the ship in order to find the creature. After a few hours, they finally discovered it, but were forced to retreat as bullets wouldn't kill it; the wounds would repair themselves. (PROSE: Imperial Moon)
