''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131106034024/http://www.angels2200.com/ Angels 2200]'' is a [[Web Comic]] done by Peter Haynes and Nathaniel Savio. The webcomic combines [[Space Opera]], [[
Humanity on Earth and its colonies has undergone a [[Gendercide|plague that has killed off the vast, vast majority of men]] thus humanity's armed forces are now entirely women. Concurrently, the colonies have been rebelling against Earth. The Terran Navy has sent one of their more minor resources--the aptly named and obsolescent carrier ''Outcast''--to deal with an uprising on the Risae asteroid belt.
But even aboard the Outcast the Icebreaker flight squad stands out as a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]], both poorly trained and untested. Unfortunately, it looks like Icebreaker squad will be the ones called upon to be the heroes. They include:
* Sasha "Hammer" Carelli (Hometown: New York City): Squad Commander. Daughter of a decorated Terran Navy pilot.
* Franchesca "Kid" Martines (Mariot, France): [[The Ingenue]], probably the ship's most naturally-gifted pilot. Sensitive and idealistic to a fault.
* Juanita "Quetzalcoatl (Quetz)" Valdez, (Mexico City): Hammer's wingman. Squad' s best pilot. [[Not Good
* Mary "Whiskey" O'Riley (Limerick, Ireland): [[Oireland|Walking Irish stereotype]]. (Which she intentionally plays up). Would probably be the team's "Heart", if Kid weren't around
* Mitsabi "Bubblegum" Kiseko (Kyoto, Japan): Less emotionally stable than Kid. Fancies herself a detective. [[Write Who You Know|Based on the author's wife]].
* Rebecca "Loser" Bradley (Rural Kansas, USA): Hammer's best friend, habitual brig occupant.
