List of Contents
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Commerce |
In the Settled Systems' free market economy, almost anyone with the right skillset can open and run a successful business. |
 Gastronomy |
Access to brand new worlds means access to brand new ingredients, and there is almost no limit to the delicious foods and drinks a talented chef can prepare. |
 Persuasion |
In the Settled Systems, the nuanced ability to listen and discuss can often accomplish far more than simply shooting first and asking questions later. |
 Scavenging |
There are those who can find just about anything, and their success is usually dependent on knowing how, and where, to look. |
 Theft |
While not entirely honorable, and certainly not legal, it is nonetheless occasionally necessary to discreetly remove property from someone's person. |
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Deception |
Smuggling and piracy are both immoral and highly illegal, and considered plagues upon the Settled Systems. But certain undercover work may require a certain criminal skillset. |
 Diplomacy |
When a situation calls for words and not weapons, it’s best to rely on those trained in statecraft and de-escalation. |
 Intimidation |
The ability to strike fear into an opponent, causing them to flee so that you can escape or attack first, can prove critical in a battle. |
 Isolation |
By eschewing team tactics and embracing the advantages of "lone wolf" operations, one can vastly improve their combat effectiveness |
 Negotiation |
In certain, more challenging communications, skilfully supplementing words with credits may help achieve the desired results |
To unlock Advanced Social skills, you'll need to spend a total of 4 skill points in the Social tree.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Instigation |
When combat is required, it can be advantageous to convince others to do the fighting for you. |
 Leadership |
Teamwork is the cornerstone of galactic survival, and nothing motivates a team more than a trained, decisive leader. |
 Outpost Management |
While constructing an outpost offers its own challenges, properly managing that outpost takes a special personality type, and specialized training. |
To unlock Expert Social skills, you'll need to spend a total of 10 skill points in the Social tree.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Manipulation |
Recent studies have shown that suggestion is not an art, but a science, and as such can be weaponized to exert control over the susceptible. |
 Ship Command |
They say a ship is only as good as its crew, but that is contingent upon that crew having the right captain to lead them. |
 Xenosociology |
While sentient life has yet to be discovered, the galaxy's alien species are generally intelligent enough to be susceptible to the power of suggestion. |
