I've been toying with the thought of also playing a general type villain, if that would be something worth doing? Kind of a goldar or Camille type, somehow hibernating somewhere since the last war.
Story wise i'd say no, game staying alive wise I say get everyone you can. We'll work them in somehow. You could just say that Tommy didn't find enough 'worthy' candidates to give all the suits out.
Or perhaps there was a second ship and someone else unearth it and the AI Demetria. Or something.
