[Adv] Starship Owner

The galaxy is a big place, and it helps to have a ship to get around in. Ships are large, hard to sell, expensive to maintain, risky to operate, and subject to strict regulations. This advantage allows a PC to start the game with a starship of his or her own.

PCs are allowed to pool thier investments in Starship Owner. If they still can not afford the full cost of the ship, they can borrow the rest (see debt). Starting points in Starship represent the existing equity. If a PC is not able to find a ship in there budget they will need to pay off this debit, and put more points into Starship Owner later as they pay off the ship.

While ship values vary, the age and condition of a starship will raise and lower the price of your craft. As a general rule of thumb each rank in Starship Owner relates to 20k in equity. You could buy a single rank in Starship Owner and Rank 3 Debit to get a junked outdated friegther from a crime lord, just don't miss your payments.

[Adv] Status

[Adv] Trademark Gear

You have a distinctive, valuable possession unrealted to your wealth level. This gear is as much a part of your personal ledgend as are your reputation and skills. You must explain where it comes from.

[Adv] Trademark Specialization

Wealth

Wealth is the amount of money a PC has access to at the start of the game it represents what you earn in a month doing your normal work. Wealthy an above are likly to have estates or a series of investments that will keep him comfortable for a good long time. It could also mean the PC is married has a trust fund or owns a company.

[Adv] Zeroed

You do not offically exist. Even the highest authorities in the land no nothing about you. You do not appear in public records or databases, they contain no evidence of your existance. You will need a reason for this in your background. You must deal strictly in cash or password / keyed accounts that can not be trased back to an owner.

If the authorities investigate you this will set off red flags as they try to find records of your existance. If they cant find you they will give up and assume an error. If they do catch you expect to be interrogated, mind probed, or worse. After all you dont exist, and a non-person has no rights.
