Naval Rating
Members of the Navy are persons who serve in spacebound military forces. They are frequently responsible for warfare within space, and patrolling the frontiers of the various states of which they are a member. A navy member could also, in theory be part of a transatmospheric fighter corps for indendent worlds just starting to take the first steps back into space. Navy personnel require a certain level of technological and economic development, and are either typically employed by major interstellar states, major interstellar corporations or rarely by independent worlds with a high level of development.

You must make an 8+ roll using a skill that depends on your branch: Electronics (sensors) or Gunner if you are crew, Mechanic or Vacc Suit if you are engineer/gunner, and Pilot (small craft or spacecraft) or Tactics (naval) if you are flight. If you fail, the ship suffers severe damage and you are blamed for the disaster. You are court-martialled and discharged. If you succeed, your efforts ensure that you are honorably discharged. You still leave the career, but may keep your Benefit roll from this term. |
| 4 | You are blamed for an accident that causes the death of several crew members. If you were responsible, then you gain one free roll on the Skills and Training table before you are ejected from this career as your guilt drives you to excel. If you were not, then gain the officer who blamed you as an Enemy, but you keep your Benefit roll from this term |
| 5 | You quarrel with another soldier. Gain a rival. |
| 6 | Injured. Roll on the Injury Table. |
