Pilot

Whether you’ve been acing dogfights or dutifully lugging cargo, your working life has been spent strapped into the cockpit of a tin can as it blasts its way between the stars. You feel at home at the helm, and whether your particular tin can was glamorous or not you still have countless successful missions under your belt.

What drew you to the life of a pilot? Were you flying military craft for the Fleet or maybe for some more nefarious agency? Were you transporting people or cargo, or flying into the unknown? Did some disaster clip your wings? Do you still long to lift off? Is there some craft you’ve always wanted to fly or are you just happy so long as you’re at the helm?

Adventures and Advancement

You may be flying for voidrunners now, but whatever organization you flew for before may want you for a special job, or they might go after you for wrecking their ship with your hot-rodding. An accomplished pilot is useful for any number of endeavors and you may find your services are desperately needed. Your pilot’s credentials may even be able to get you jobs that can take you and your allies off-world.
