	* '''Pathfinder''' - Modern war is not fought along rigid lines that clearly delineate one faction's territory from another. In light of the this, faction forces need to remain flexible, moving from base to base, nation to nation, and system to system, sometimes on a moment’s notice. Such maneuverability and secrecy requires a multitude of small bases throughout the world in unpopulated areas. The forces employs a group of scouts - sometimes called pathfinders - who work alone or in small groups, scouring the galaxy to find viable locations for secret bases. When they find a suitably remote site that fits the needs of their current mission, they begin preparing it with defenses, concealment, power, and other basic requirements.		* '''Pathfinder''' - Modern war is not fought along rigid lines that clearly delineate one faction's territory from another.

	* '''Psion''' - While everyone with psionic talent could be referred to as a 'psion,' the term really applies towards those who have put effort into mastering their talent and focusing on it. Psions are more common among innately-psionic species, such as a the Teuthidoids, but they have begone to appear in Human society as well. Thanks to the guidance of the Teuthidoids, more and more Humans are learning to use their psionic abilities in a multitude of ways.		* '''Psion''' - While everyone with psionic talent could be referred to as a 'psion,' the term really applies towards those who have put effort into mastering their talent and focusing on it.

They might use improvised tools or create specialized devices to carryout certain tasks. They rely on stealth and secrecy to carry cut their missions. A saboteur might work alone in a single installation, or as part of a small group for complex or widespread attacks. Saboteur missions employ explosives, computer slicing, and social engineering to achieve their goals.		* '''Saboteur''' - Saboteurs aim to disrupt or destroy the physical mechanisms of their enemies, usually covertly and often from within.

	* '''Crime Lord''' - Few societies manage to eradicate crime altogether. In the underworld, someone always rises to the top, either through vision, organization, or sheer intimidation. The life of a crime lord isn't for the timid. After conquering an unseen empire, the crime lord wages a daily struggle not only to stay on top but also to stay alive. Of course not every crime lord is bent on corrupting society and making a profit. Some use their criminal connections to wage lucrative guerilla war against tyrants and despots. Indeed, some of the heroes of historical rebellions and conflicts began as smugglers or pirates, and eventually rose through the ranks of an organization to provide a more noble direction for their groups' activities.		* '''Crime Lord''' - Few societies manage to eradicate crime altogether.

With the stealth and sharp senses required to achieve his goal, he specializes in locating and observing the enemy's movements, all the while obscuring his presence from them. If the situation arises, he might try to take a few of the enemy down before retreating back to friendly territory, but his primary purpose is to serve as his group's eyes and ears.		* '''Vanguard''' - Fighting an effective war and taking out the enemy is necessary if your army is to live to fight another day.

After conquering an unseen empire, the crime lord wages a daily struggle not only to stay on top but also to stay alive. Of course not every crime lord is bent on corrupting society and making a profit. Some use their criminal connections to wage lucrative guerilla war against tyrants and despots. Indeed, some of the heroes of historical rebellions and conflicts began as smugglers or pirates, and eventually rose through the ranks of an organization to provide a more noble direction for their groups' activities.

	* '''Martial Arts Master''' - Most warriors become proficient with a variety of weapons, but martial arts masters strive to master various styles of hand-to-hand combat, shunning weapons and turning their bodies into powerful weapons. Although other combatants are satisfied with learning the basics of unarmed combat, martial arts masters learn the techniques and philosophies of many different styles of martial arts, incorporating different elements and techniques into unique personal styles. They are among the most self-sufficient and the most dangerous fighters out there.		* '''Martial Arts Master''' - Most warriors become proficient with a variety of weapons, but martial arts masters strive to master various styles of hand-to-hand combat, shunning weapons and turning their bodies into powerful weapons.

	* '''Master Privateer''' - Some master privateers are pirates, a motley collection of rogues and cutthroats that prey on merchant ships to plunder them for credits and cargo. An unsavory lot, master privateers commandeer any vessel they capture, taking prisoner the crew and passengers, perhaps letting them go, perhaps tossing them out the airlock depending on the nature of their captain. In all, these types of master privateers are treated as criminals by any law enforcement agency. Although such rogues are a menace to be sure, not all pirates are merciless killers. Many adopt and live by a strict code of conduct that gives them parameters for the types of ships they'll strike and what they do with prisoners. Some pirates release the prisoners, depositing them in a more-or-less safe location where they are likely to be rescued. But for every decent master privateer, a dozen more merciless fiends lay in wait. While not as common as the pirates, but probably more famous, and certainly better respected, there are privateers that work in the employ of law enforcement agencies, military forces, and even private security firms. These privateers thrive in times of war, but also in times of peace, as they often see use as customs agents, security forces, and even as assistants for bounty hunters.		* '''Master Privateer''' - Some master privateers are pirates, a motley collection of rogues and cutthroats that prey on merchant ships to plunder them for credits and cargo.

	* '''Medic''' - The world is a dangerous place. Vicious creatures, massive battles, barroom brawls, lethal environments, and other kinds of threats imperil people everywhere. Doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel provide vital care to the critically injured, but are less available to those operating in the field. The medic fills this void, providing on-the-spot advanced medical treatment and support.		* '''[[Medic]]''' - The world is a dangerous place.

	* '''Melee Duelist''' - Throughout history, dueling has seen many degrees of acceptability, militarily, legally, and socially. Some cultures or subcultures regard dueling as an honorable and civilized method of settling disputes, but others see dueling as barbaric. The melee duelist specializes in fighting a single opponent. The melee duelist selects a primary weapon of choice, studying and practicing maneuvers, feints, and tricks to perfection. Competitive duelists train with several types weapons because they may not know ahead of time which types of weapons will be used in a duel. Battlefield duelists expand their abilities to take on small groups because they cannot depend on the luxury of fighting a single opponent in the middle of a skirmish.		* '''Melee Duelist''' - Throughout history, dueling has seen many degrees of acceptability, militarily, legally, and socially.

	* '''Military Engineer''' - The platoon's transport has broken down. The radio is not working. Two of the soldiers' rifles have jammed. The enemy is closing in. Who is going to fix everything in time? This is when the military engineer steps in. The military engineer is a tech specialist who focuses their energy on making repairs in the field and keeping the group's hardware running until they make it back to base.		* '''Military Engineer''' - The platoon's transport has broken down.
