 Scavenging |
 Security |
 Stealth |

 Wellness |
With a mysterious background, skills that benefit from staying hidden such as Stealth and Concealment just feel appropriate. Even if it doesn't keep you hidden, Boost Pack Training should help you get around while exploring. Scavenging is also good to have for more items and credits.
Despite not having a file, you're experienced with Piloting which improves how you handle ships. You're also familiar with Ballistics and have additional health with Wellness, suggesting you've got combat experience. This could be paired with Pistol Certification to boost damage further. Isolation can also work well with the Introvert trait if you choose to work alone.

You'll want to stay mobile by equipping lighter armor with enough damage reduction. For planets with harsh environments, equip armor with the appropriate resistances.
File Not Found Best Traits
Best Traits for File Not Found
 Introvert |
You really need your alone time. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring alone, but more when adventuring with other human companions, (Can't be combined with Extrovert.) |
|---|---|
 Kid Stuff |
Your parents are alive and well, and you can visit them at their home. But you will automatically send 2% of your credits home to them every week. |
 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.) |
You probably don't know a lot of people if there's not much info on you, so the Introvert trait may make sense. With Isolation and the focus on stealth, it should pay to not have to bring human companions. You can also add Kid Stuff so you can visit your parents and maybe receive something from them. If you're planning to stay on the surface often, Terra Firma can make sense to increase health and oxygen.

File Not Found Description
| [FILE NOT FOUND] Flavor Text |
|---|
| Oddly, there's no information on file about your past life. Clerical oversight? Deletion by some powerful unknown faction? Or was there just nothing of note to mention? Whatever the reason, your past is known only to you. What's important is the here and now, and the path you're about to forge. |
