Alien (Captain)

The Aliens are a group of extraterrestrials who observe Becky from Earth's orbit. They frequently engage in various silly antics, yet appear to adhere to a code of non-interference with humans. Only Ichijo and her sister are aware of their existence. Their vessel resembles an upside-down Musai from Mobile Suit Gundam (a design derived from an inverted USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)), and the characters randomly transform into—or have their reflections in the ship turn into—figures from Star Trek, including the alien captain appearing as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This serves as a reference to Mugihito voicing Picard in the Japanese dub of Star Trek.
At times, the bridge of their ship is an exact replica of the Enterprise-D's. For a period, Ichijo was romantically involved with the captain, but their code of non-interference eventually compelled them to end the relationship. The aliens appear to be modeled slightly after Zeon's mobile suits, a characteristic further evidenced by the command antenna on the captain's head.
