Some of the special backgrounds specify the place you are from, in such use that.

Else roll your home world type on one of the tables below.

Way more of the colonial and tertiary populations join rangers than other services, so as ranger(or patrol) you should use the following if you wish to simulate that:

• 3 core
• 4 colony
• 5-6 tertiary
• 7-10 primary
• 11-15 secondary
• 15-16 tertiary
• 17-18 colony

Full empire population distribution, use this for other imperial services:

• 3 core
• 4 tertiary
• 5-10 primary
• 11-16 secondary
• 17 tertiary
• 18 colony

Unless you have a named home world either due to a background or similar one you can use the following table: roll 2d and round the result to 2 decimals. (Note that approximately the same distribution is true for human colonized worlds)

• 2 microgravity: 0g
• 3 extremely low: (3d-11)/40 +0.2g
• 4 very low (3d-11)/40 +0.4g
• 5 low (3d-11)/40 +0.6g
• 6 low medium (3d-11)/40 +0.8g
• 7 medium (3d-11)/40 +1g
• 8 high medium(3d-11)/40 +1.2g
• 9 high (3d-11)/40 +1.4g
• 10 very high (3d-11)/40 +1.6g
• 11 extremely high (3d-11)/40 +1.8g
• 12: Variable: This may be because of living in a small spin habitat, TL 11 alien world with gravity manipulation in some places, or things like living on a planet but working on a moon or space station. Roll twice and at minimum have g-experience in both, select one as base.
