The Imperial Service Overview The imperial service is a unified service with everyone part of the same service in theory. In practice the different branches are mostly independent, but it very common for personnel to do tours of duty in other services. Having cross-service experience is good for promotions chances.

The value of the different currencies mostly fluctuates against each other, though some are fixed value against the IC or some other currency. All credits divide into 1000 millicredits. Many places use a symbol $ for a credit for unknown historical reasons, with some of the house credits using alternate symbols like one of: £, € or ¥.

When considering fragment lethality, don't overlook that most fragmentation attacks generate multiple hits. You're not looking at trying to get a fragment to kill somebody, but at trying to get two or three or more fragments to kill somebody. For instance, a single 2d(0.5) pi- pellet from an M18A1 isn't going to kill most targets . . . but that's a highly directional device, and at the mentioned 5 yards, the average victim is going to eat seven pellets, which is rather another matter.
