-====== Create Characters ====== 
-Each player plays a single character on the starship.  
-If your Life Support allows more crew than you have  
-players, you’ll fill the extra spots with bots. Having  
-your own character puts you into the action in a more  
-visceral way. 
  
-Your character will have several characteristics to  
-differentiate you from other characters:  
- 
-Species, Profession, Skill Set, Equipment 
- 
-To build a character, you will need to do the following: 
- 
-  - Start at Rank 1 
-  - Pick a species 
-  - Select a profession 
-  - Assign skill numbers 
-  - Select a starting Special Ability 
-  - Calculate Hit Points 
-  - Get starting Equipment 
- 
- 
-Rank reflects your character’s pull with the brass as  
-well as calm under fire. Characters start at Rank 1 and  
-spend prestige to rank up after missions (see character  
-advancement page 149).  
- 
-Each rank adds 1 to your Hit Points and Luck as well  
-as giving you a Special Ability. 
- 
-Rank also adds to your check when requisitioning  
-shiny new equipment after a mission and figures into  
-some special abilities such as “Calm” or “Smooth”. 
- 
-^ ^ RANK ^  LUCK  ^  HP+  |  
-|  1  | Ensign |  6  |  1  | 
-|  2  | Lt. Jr. Grade |  7  |  2  | 
-|  3  | Lieutenant |  8  |  3  | 
-|  4  | Commander |  9  |  4  | 
-|  5  | Captain |  10  |  5  | 
-|  6  | Major |  11  |  6  | 
-|  7  | Colonel |  12  |  7  | 
-|  8  | Commodore |  13  |  8  | 
-|  9  | Admiral |  14  |  9  | 
-|  10  | Fleet Admiral |  15  |  10  | 
-|  11  | Commander in Chief |  16  |  11  | 
-|  12  | Senator of the Republic |  17  |  12  |  
- 
-===== Luck ===== 
-  
- 
-As a hero, you get the special advantage of having  
-fortune on your side. Nobody likes a story where the  
-good guy dies in the first five minutes. Characters have  
-a base of 5 Luck plus one for each Rank. So a starting  
-character is Rank 1 with 6 Luck.  
- 
-The judicious use of Luck can mitigate what would  
-otherwise be catastrophic results. Spend one Luck to  
-reroll a die in the following circumstances: 
- 
-^ LUCKABLE ^ NOT LUCKABLE | 
-| Damage dealt to you | Damage you deal or damage dealt to your ship | 
-| Survival checks for a ship or fighter you are on (that are failing). | Survival checks that are successful. Survival checks for a ship you aren’t on. | 
-| Your Skill Checks | Enemy Skill Checks | 
-| Other things as specified by mission, equipment or special ability. | Anything not specified as luckable. | 
-| Hit allocation for Cannons and Teleporters | Hit allocation for missiles, mines, and rams | 
-| Requisitions |  |
