Void Hunters: Redshirt Occupations…

9f42ce34b1d7af6fda9264fb60adebf4Every Redshirt has a regular job before being sent to meet their destiny in The Meatgrinder, and in Void Hunters there will be three separate tables to generate one for your level-0 character: Military, Corporate and Civilian.

Which table you use will be up to the guy running the game. They may want to keep character generation focused on one table for their campaign, which may be specifically centered around military expeditions to expand the borders of the empire, corporate survey teams seeking new resources for exploitation or civilian traders prospecting in the void to find the big haul that will make their fortunes and allow them to retire in style. On the other hand, they may not care where your characters come from and may allow Civilian Contractors to sign on the Military Ships with Corporate survey teams.

Some of the tables allow for cross pollination of occupation types, so a military expeditionary team  may well find a Corporate Liaison on board their ship and there is special occupation, Weird, on all the tables that allows for the more off the wall possibilities, like Rogue Synthetics, Alien Infiltrators and Corporate Spies.

All occupations start off with some very basic equipment and some, like Synthetics, have special rules or abilities. For examples, check out the Military Occupation Table…
