'''Henry "Hank" Gibson''' was the captain of the [[Human]] freighter, ''[[This End Up]]'' <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 96</ref>. Gibson's nickname is "Hank". During his life, he always found that piloting a ship by himself-with only the minimum aid from a computer-gave him his greatest joy. He served on civilian cruise ships (such as the luxury liner ''[[Two Drink Minimum]]'') for many years, enjoying the ability to steer without aid and the time away from his two now ex-wives, but found the constant noise to be too much for him and left it to instead serve as a hauler for products from [[Harvest]]. His personal touch helped distinguish him from other services and brought him a great deal of respect. | '''Henry "Hank" Gibson''' was the captain of the [[Human]] freighter, ''[[This End Up]]'' <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 96</ref>.
