Spacer
- With dozens of solar systems large and small connected via catapults and thousands more (mostly uninhabited) reachable via jump drive, interstellar starships fill the same role as surface ships did back in the pre-space era on Earth. And where ships go, crewmembers go onboard them. Of course those on interstellar ships are merely the tip of the iceberg and Spacers also includes crews for in-system ships as well as people who operate the myriad deep-space stations that support the human economy.

Guardsman
- Most worlds maintain some form of standing military in the vein of National Guards, tasked with roles ranging from planetary defense to disaster relief to riot control. Typically more lightly-equipped than heavy army 'shock' units or marines/espatiers, Guardsmen are also stereotypically seen as less well-trained. That said, defending your loved ones can be a real morale-stiffener.
- The Guardsman event can also be used for gang toughs or hired muscle - on some worlds the difference is nothing more than what colors you wear.

Clearance Contractor
- The living machines created millions of years ago by the Velans still haunt the galaxy, ancient terraforming robots with hardwired orders to go forth and multiply. Unfortunately the arrival of humanity's starfaring ships and electromagnetic babble has woken them from their long slumber. Some systems of strategic or commercial import have become infested with these ancient feral drones and consequently many contractors now make a living clearing them out with attack ships and mecha, recovering their corpses for the valuable nanomachinery inside.

Field Scientist
- Human space contains thousands of stars; most of these have had little more than cursory surveys to determine the main astronomical bodies and jump zones, leading them to be little more than blanks waiting to be filled in. Posthuman constructs and Velan xenodrone activities add a further element of uncertainty. The Field Scientist steps in to deal with these, applying a mixture of book learning and practical knowledge to solve all manner of problems. Many are freelance, selling their skills to starship crews and the fruits of their discoveries to various commercial or scientific interests.
- The various Academics specialties are merely an example and can easily be changed as desired.

Artist
- The music industry in the 22nd century is a flighty thing, where it is easy to acquire recordings and consequently live performances become important for artists. Some will tour mostly on their own planet, others will take to the stars and travel from world to world. Often the latter group will pick up an ecclectic mix of practical skills in their travels.
