| [[Homesteader]] || || | | [[Homesteader]] || [[Geology]], [[Surveying]], [[Weight Lifting]] || The discovery of the Settled System' many oxygen-rich planets and moons meant humans could live just about anywhere...if they had the know how. You did, and utilized it to great effect. | ||

| [[Industrialist]] || || | | [[Industrialist]] || [[Persuasion]], [[Security]], [[Research Methods]] || There was a time when all you wanted to be was a titan of industry, maybe a ship designer or megacorp exec. Thankfully, that skillset never goes out of style in the settled systems. | ||

| [[Long Hauler]] || || | | [[Long Hauler]] || [[Weight Lifting]], [[Piloting]], [[Ballistic Weapon Systems]] || Let those other hothead pilots obsess over laser weapons and maneuverability.

| [[Professor]] || || | | [[Professor]] || [[Aerodynamics]], [[Geology]], [[Research Methods]] || You've always enjoyed learning, but nothing could compare to the joy of teaching others.

| [[Sculptor]] || || | | [[Sculptor]] || [[Medicine]], [[Geology]], [[Persuasion]] || With your knowledge of anatomy and skilled, steady hands, you could have become a surgeon. Instead, you followed your heart, and created works of art to amaze and inspire. | ||

| [[Soldier]] || || | | [[Soldier]] || [[Fitness]], [[Ballistics]], [[Boost Pack Training]] || The Settled Systems is no stranger to warfare, and if there's one thing armed conflict relies on it's trained warriors with guns and guts. You had both. Simple, bloody work...and you were great at it. | ||

| [[Space Scroundel]] || || | | [[Space Scroundel]] || [[Pistol Certification]], [[Piloting]], [[Persuasion]] || Good? Bad? Whose right is it to say? If there's anything you've learned traipsing through the galaxy, it's this: space may look black, but it's really one shade of grey. | ||

| [[Xenobiologist]] || [[Fitness]], [[Surveying]], [[Lasers]] || The Settled Systems is home to untold alien species. And while none of them have yet proven sentient, that never deterred you.
