Given what Valles says above, rather than a first Shuko is probably the last of the first seventeen biomods to leave earth - she left the con before the guacamole kicked in, and managed to avoid capture for... well, I have to check the finalized time line again, but "weeks or a month after the Paris/Death Ray incident" is the relevant measure.

SV Gnarlycurl - top contender for Most Indestructible Object Known to Man. You know how tough that layer of handwavium paint makes your space ship? Now make it ten inches think, with eight (or twenty eight, on the bottom) feet of nickel-iron asteroid before another layer ten inches thick. This is the hull of the Gnarlycurl. Of course, it's also among the slowest objects classed as a mobile ship rather than an orbital facility.
Wave Convoy - while not even as damage resistant in proportion to relative mass as the Gnarlycurl, he is hella tough, and can take multiple hits from things that would wreck an average car conversion immediately before showing significant damage, let alone being disabled or destroyed.
The rest of my cast is pretty much average, or "skilled but not amazing."
Well, I plan to coopt young Jan Neumann, who'll be a genius mecha designer by 2025 or so (fifteen years early for the character he resembles in Macross Plus) but he's all of ... eight? ... as of SauceCon.
