Allies, Contacts, Enemies, Rivals

• Ally: University clique (Pre-Career Event 6)
  • During your first term at the university, you were part of an ambitious archaeology and history clique that found themselves captivated by Vlen, a restless visiting professor who preferred field anecdotes to dry lectures. You and your friends made a pact to stay in touch, and Vlen — the “favorite uncle” of the group — seemed to take a genuine interest in your career, even offering advice on navigating the unconventional circles of the Spinward Marches.

Background

EDU DM was +1 at character creation (creation roll EDU 11 — university and a career of study later raised it to 14; see Careers), so 4 background skills:

• Drive
• Profession
• Seafarer
• Medic (also gained at 0 from Scholar Basic Training in Term 1; later raised)

Careers

Pre-Career — University (graduated)

Ages 18–22. Entry EDU 6+ (DM+1 for SOC 8… 9 after development; passed comfortably at EDU 11).

• Major (level 1): Science. Minor (level 0): Medic.
• EDU +1 for attending (11 → 12).
• Graduation: rolled INT 6+ (INT 6 at the time, DM+0) and graduated (not honours, so DM+1 rather than DM+2).
  • EDU +1 for graduating (12 → 13; reflected in the Characteristics table above).
  • Both subjects raised one level: Science 1 → 2 and Medic 0 → 1.
  • DM+1 to qualify for Scholar (applied in Term 1).
• Pre-Career Event 6: You become involved in a tightly knit clique or group and make a pact to remain friends forever… Gain D3 Allies. — gained 1 Ally (a university clique that overlaps Kael’s and Zane’s — a natural anchor for the pending Connections; see Notes).

Term 1 — Scholar (Physician) — 1st Term

• Basic Training (first career): all six Scholar Service Skills at level 0 — Flyer (Service Skills row 1 “Drive or Flyer” → chose Flyer), Electronics, Diplomat, Medic, Investigate, Science (Medic is already 1 and Science already 2 from university — basic training does not lower them).
• Term skill roll: Electronics 1 (Service Skills row 2 — raises basic-training Electronics 0 to 1).
• Advanced to Rank 1:
  • Rank 1 bonus: Medic 2 (Physician rank-1 “Medic” — raises university Medic 1 to 2).
  • Extra skill roll from advancement: Medic 3 (Physician row 4 “Medic” — raises Medic 2 to 3).
• Event 10: You become entangled in a bureaucratic or legal morass that distracts you from your work. Gain one of Admin 1, Advocate 1, Persuade 1 or Diplomat 1. — took Persuade 1.

  • Extra skill roll from advancement: Investigate 1 (Physician row 3 — raises basic-training Investigate 0 to 1).

Term 3 — Scholar (Physician) — 3rd Term

Survival EDU 4+, Advancement EDU 8+.

• Term skill roll: Personal Development → EDU +1 (EDU 13 → 14; reflected in the Characteristics table above).
• Advanced to Rank 3:

• Ageing roll: End of the sixth block (age 42) — passed (no effect; STR stays 3). No characteristic reached 0, so no ageing crisis and no emergency-care debt.

Benefits

Doc musters out of the Scholar career after five full terms at Rank 4, earning 7 Mustering-Out Benefit rolls (07 - Benefits): 5 for his five full terms plus 2 rank-bonus rolls for reaching Rank 3–4. (The university term is not a career term, so it adds no Benefit roll. Rank 3–4 grants no DM+1 to Benefit rolls — that is Rank 5–6 only — and he has no Gambler skill, so there is no Cash DM either; instead he applies the two banked event DMs below.) Rolled on the Scholar Mustering Out Benefits table:

• Lab Ship (Benefits roll 6) — 25% of the mortgage paid off.
• Lab Ship (Benefits roll, 1D 4 +2 from the Term 5 “Good Fortune” DM) — a second Lab Ship result reduces the mortgage by another 25% → 50% mortgage paid off total. One of the two rolls on the Spacecraft Quirks table came up Double Maintenance.
• Two Ship Shares (Benefits roll 3).
• Two Ship Shares (Benefits roll 3) — 4 Ship Shares total (MCr1 each; can be put toward the Lab Ship’s remaining mortgage).
• Scientific Equipment (Benefits roll 5) — one piece up to Cr2,000 / TL12.
• Cr100,000 (Cash, 1D 6 +1 from the Term 3 “prestigious prize” DM → Cash roll 7).
• Cr60,000 (Cash, roll 6).

Total mustering-out cash: Cr160,000. Two of the seven rolls were taken on the Cash column — within the lifetime cap of three. No medical or anagathic debt to clear, so the full Cr160,000 carries into play; up to Cr10,000 of it may be spent on personal equipment before adventuring.

Pension: retiring from a non-Scout/Rogue/Prisoner/Drifter career after 5 terms entitles Doc to a Cr10,000/year pension (07 - Benefits), collectable at any Class A/B starport.
