======Training/Experience packages======
For having enhanced basic training, and edge or high power genie package you get 2 Training/Experience packages(35-100 each), for low power genie you get one such.

In all cases remaining points can be used to raise existing skills, maximally 1 rank each and to buy courtesy rank based on the previous professions.

====Bounty Hunter(63/73)====
Bounty hunters catch fugitives and bring them
back in exchange for a hefty reward. 

 A variant on the standard
bounty hunter is the Repo Man, who
specializes in recovering starships
when the owners have defaulted on
their bank payments. 

 They tend to operate in places where 
formal law-enforcement is spotty or
nonexistent.

==== Con Man(40/53) ====

Sometimes they are merchants, more shrewd than honest, and
sometimes they are outright crooks
bilking the unwary. Fictional con men
often conceal a heart of gold, putting
their talents to work in order to
deceive humorless aliens or tyrannical
regimes. Real ones tend to be callous
or self-deluding, and can often be surprisingly gullible themselves. A variant
con man is the Gambler, who often
supplements his skill with a marked
deck or loaded dice.

====Detective (66)====
Detectives perform criminal investigations, 
usually as agents of a law enforcement agency. In large agencies
they often specialize in a particular
kind of crime. Exactly what constitutes a crime varies from culture to
culture, and detectives serving a
repressive regime may focus on rooting out political dissidents rather than
thieves or murderers. At high tech levels, 
detective work involves a lot of science, though many prefer to rely on
intuition and personal interviews with
witnesses and suspects.

Private detectives have no official
sanction, but by the same token have
greater independence of action. Their
job may overlap with that of bounty
hunters, especially if they must pursue
a culprit beyond the reach of police
forces.

====Doctor(65)====
Future medical technology holds
amazing promise, but no gadgets 
are effective without someone who
knows how and when to use them.
This template represents a physician
with a medical degree, who presumably has access to state-of-the-art
medical equipment.

====Explorer(50/70)====
Explorers venture into unknown
territory to find out what’s there. They
must be adaptable and tough if they
want to get home and tell anybody
what they’ve discovered. This template
is for a planetary explorer whose skills
are optimized for travel and survival
in hostile environments. Explorers
who spend most of their time aboard
spacecraft should use the Astronaut
template instead. Scientist-explorers
who wish to perform detailed studies
of their new finds should use the
Scientist template.

====Merchant(65/70/80)====

Merchants must often go far afield
to find goods or markets. Far, of
course, is a relative term – on a lowtech colony world the local merchant
may have to travel a hundred miles
over bad roads to the spaceport, while
the space merchant he does business
with travels hundreds of light-years.
This template assumes a “hands-on”
merchant who does a lot of traveling
and negotiating in person. For a more
desk-bound sort, use the Executive
lens.

A more specialized merchant is the
Antiquities Dealer, who sells rare and
possibly alien-made items that may or
may not be legal. Antiquities dealers
must be fairly knowledgeable about
what they sell, even if what they’re selling is bogus.

====Scientist(50/60)====
Scientists gather knowledge
about the universe. In the modern
world they tend to be specialists in a
particular field or topic, but fictional
scientists are often generalists to a
ridiculous degree. Contrary to
stereotype, modern scientists are
usually quite adept at practical tasks
like building apparatuses, catching
specimens, and surviving in the wild
while on field season.
 
Fictional uber-scientists should use
the Cinematic Scientist lens, possibly
combined with the Inventor template
below. Science officers aboard spaceships use the Science Officer lens.

====Secret Agent(51) ====

Science-fiction secret agents come
in two main types: the grittily realistic
operatives and the dashing Bondian
heroes. Superspies have a natural
niche in space opera fiction, while
bleak, paranoid spies hang out in
cyberpunk stories – often working for
megacorporations instead of government agencies.

====Security Officer(68)==== 

They’re known as guards, police
officers, goons, and rent-a-cops. They
spend most of their time watching for
trouble and being bored. When something happens, they’re the guys on the
spot.

====Soldier(40/54/60/65/70) ====

The Poor Bloody Infantry. The
Leathernecks. Tommy Atkins and G.I.
Joe. Stories about soldiers have been
around as long as there have been stories. Over time, soldiers have changed
from big guys with swords to techsavvy men and women with an arsenal
of gadgets at their fingertips. This
template represents a basic soldier
with no special training. As is, it can
represent a trainee or a green trooper
from an underfunded army, or can be
combined with other templates to create a combat medic or a military technician. Add one of the specialization
packages to create a skilled front-line
combatant. Officers add the Officer
package to the specialization.
Veterans add the Veteran package, and
elite soldiers the Elite package. It is
possible to be a Veteran Elite Officer.

====Space Worker(50)==== 
Some people explore space, and
some people just work there. They
build space colonies, mine asteroids,
salvage wrecked spaceships, and do all
the other tough jobs the star pilots and
eggheads are too busy for. Space
workers can be independent prospectors or salvagers; or they can get a regular paycheck.

====Technician (45)====
Just about everyone in a SF setting
can use the advanced devices available, but technicians are the ones who
understand how they work, and can
repair, improve, or build them.
Contemporary stereotypes assume all
technicians are geeky and shy, but in
some settings being a tech wizard
could be glamorous.

You are a current or retired diplomat, whose career was built around
smoothing over disputes between

====Entertainer(40)====

You work in the entertainment
industry,  you certainly help out with morale.
Whether you work on the stage or
behind it, you make people happy and
lift their spirits. As a bonus, you normally find yourself able to earn a little
extra cash no matter where you go –
even the most backwater colony or
isolated military unit will gladly pay to
see what you have to offer.

====Journalist(60)====
The public
has a right to know what’s going on.
You travel throughout the galaxy, digging up stories that keep the worlds
informed (and, incidentally, boost
your reputation). Traveling with a
group of adventurers, you will doubtless gather more than enough material for your work – if you aren’t the
driving force behind the group yourself. Of course, Imperials often react
verybadly to pesky journalists . . .

====Policeman(65)====

Policemen have many reasons for
traveling: pursuit of fugitives,
vengeance for denied justice, flight
from implacable enemies, even a simple
urge to bring their skills to the lawless frontier. Law enforcers who travel
the stars often find their hands full –
colonies are often unruly
places, and Imperial
worlds present their own social 
problems.

==== Politician(55) ====

You are a professional politician,
using the democratic institutions of
your to climb to the highest levels of
non noble. You spend at
least as much time gathering votes as

indirect influence from the contacts

Background Skills:Research[1]; Writing[1]; and three extra points in primary or secondary skills.

==== Rogue(60) ====

“Rogue” is a more romantic term
for “criminal.” You are one of society’s
outcasts, either a romantic criminalhero or a brutish criminal-thug. You
survive outside the law, which may
well be one of the reasons you travel
among the stars – after all, the law is
thinner out here.

====Spy(55)====
The life of an undercover
agent can be very interesting, and also

==== Starship Deckhand(50) ====


Every starship is a technological
miracle, but even so it requires plenty
of skilled labor to stay in operation.
You are a “deckhand,” one of the general-service crewmen who keep any
ship running. You perform routine
maintenance, do damage control in
battle, help handle freight, and assist
passengers. You may not be high in
the social hierarchy of merchant service, but you are still a necessary part of
starship life.
