Soldier
You’re a hard-bitten veteran accustomed to long voyages, short supplies, and hostile environments. A career as a voidrunner seems like the logical next step.
Were you a battlefield soldier in a war between worlds? A mercenary or security guard? Were you a front-line grunt, an officer, or a specialist such as a medic or an engineer? Did you retire with honor or in disgrace, or do you still serve?
Uniform, common clothes, 7 days rations.
Soldiers recognize their own. Off duty soldiers are usually willing to trade tales and gossip with you. On duty soldiers, while not obeying your orders, are likely to answer your questions and treat you respectfully on the off chance that you’re an unfamiliar officer who can get them in trouble.
You will occasionally run into old comrades, some of whom may need favors. If you perform a few celebrated martial deeds your old military outfit (or a new one) is likely to offer you an officer’s rank. You gain the free service of up to 8 troopers. Your new commanders will occasionally give you objectives: you will be expected to act independently in order to achieve these objectives.
