Your background as a Homesteader has led you to a life of self-sufficiency. Scavenging can be learned to gather materials, while Planetary Habitation will help with Outpost building, and Gastronomy to give you more crafting options.
Traveling to other planets to settle there is also something you're familiar with. Improve your ship's grav drive with Astrodynamics and get a lay of the land with skills like Astrophysics and Surveying.
Once you've found a good spot, you can set up Outposts and improve them with Outpost Engineering and Outpost Management. To defend yourself and your settlement, you can learn Combat Skills such as Dueling.
| Weapon | Type | Damage | Ammo Type |

This build focuses on melee weapons like the Tanto, but it won't hurt to carry a ranged weapon like a pistol for extra firepower.
Best Weapons: Weapon Tier List
Since you'll likely encounter all sorts of enemies during your exploration, it's best to equip armor that can handle all types of damage. You'll also want to account for different kinds of resistances for planets with harsh conditions.
 Raised Universal |
You grew up as a member of the Sanctum Universum. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the Sanctum Universum in New Atlantis, but lose access to the House of the Enlightened chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait.) |
|---|---|
 Terra Firma |
You've never acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when on the surface, but decreased when you're in space. (Can't be combined with Spaced.) |
 United Colonies Native |
You gain access to special United Colonies dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. However, crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.) |
You'll likely spend plenty of time on each planet exploring or cultivating your next homestead, so Terra Firma can be helpful for increased health and oxygen while exploring planets. You can also pick a religion trait such as Raised Universal and a faction allegiance like United Colonies Native to gain their bonuses and exclusive dialogue.
| Starting Skills | Description |

|
Geology |

|
Weight Lifting |
Weight training can significantly increase one's ability to carry weapons and equipment, both in space and on the ground. |
| Homesteader Flavor Text |
|---|
| The discovery of the Settled System' many oxygen-rich planets and moons meant humans could live just about anywhere...if they had the know how. You did, and utilized it to great effect. |
