To survive and thrive in the cold dark of space you need to find your own niche, something you and no one else can do. Such special abilities are called talents. Talents can affect how you use skills or how you recover from damage or stress, or even let you do things that are quite simply impossible for others. As opposed to skills, talents are not rated—you either have them or you don’t. There are two distinct types of talents—career talents and general talents. Career talents can only be learned by characters with a specific career. General talents can be learned by anyone. When you create a character for Campaign play, you get to choose one career talent. You can learn new talents during play.
