Skills are typically linked to an attribute: this does not mean that a given skill cannot be combined with a different attribute at GM discretion. Furthermore, a player may petition to have a given skill moved to a different attribute based on their background. Starred skills are advanced, and cost more points (See below)
Strength

Brawling

Personal Weapon Skills

Type I Ship Weapon Skills (ie human controlled)

Acrobatics

Climbing

Stealth

Driving/Piloting Skills

• Autofire : any schmuck can empty a clip on his enemy: but it takes significant skill to do it well: more skill still to provide covering fire, rake an area: and even more to do any of it without running out of ammo. Without the autofire skill, any multi-shot attack is automatically at -3. To perform more interesting autofire maneuvers well, you must make an autofire roll; larger margins of success will allow you to use less ammo in the process. Prereq. is a +5 in the weapon skill you want to apply this to.

Dodge/Escape: Primarily useful in close combat, it also provides limited benefit in avoiding getting shot.

Dance

Zero G movement

Contortionist

Toughness:

Resist Torture/Drugs

Recovery (how fast you get up after getting knocked down): if you fail a stun/shock save, you have a chance of getting back in the action with this skill. The difficulty is 10 + (number of damage points taken). You may only make one attempt at this for each failed stun/shock save.

For game purposes, it allows you to "predict" your enemies likely actions and act accordingly: the game effect of this is that success on tactics rolls will allow you to ignore some of the penalties for multiple actions. If you fail, you don't get the bonus. If you fail badly, you lose your whole action. Prereqs are initiative of +5 or better, Grizzled veteran of +1 or better.

normal skills cost one point per level. Average Human skill level is 3-4. Advanced Skills cost 2 points per level. No more than one skill at 8 without GM permission. No skills at 9-10 without GM permission. In order to make a roll, a character must have at least a “familiarity” (zero level in the skill, costs 1/2 point). Characters get certain “everyman” skills for free, at familiarity level.

Backgrounds: two points per dot. For a value of 8 or above, speak with the Gm about specifics. Allies

Contacts

Followers

Resources: at 1-7 you get (level)*100 credits a month. at 8 or above you are actually rich.

Reputation

Influence

Organization

Equipment: at 1-3, you can have that number of items worth up to 1000 credits each. at 4-6 you can have that number of items worth 1-3000 credits, or a single item worth 8-12000 credits. at seven you can have 7 items worth up to 4000 credits each, 2 items worth up to 14000 each, or one item worth 21000.

Mentor

Languages

Status: at one point of status, you have an id card and a file in some dusty computer that says you exist. at 2-3 you are a low-medium level person on some world: you've got a birth certificate, a credit card (which means you can get into a bar with a bouncer), etc. At 4, you're a white-collar level person: your name comes up on an internet search on the first page, you're on international registries, and you can get appointments/reservations/etc. at upscale places. No one will look at you funny walking around the deepest corp-zone, or in a lycurgan city. at 5 you're important to somebody who's got real power, and it shows (even if you don't have any yourself): you'll probably get into clubs without a cover, and low lifes will clear the sidewalk for you. at 6, you're a low level exec, a low level lycurgan, or an Aenean officer. At 7, you're a minor lycurgan aristocrat, a corp exec, or a party member of Aeneas. At 5 or above, nobody but a bat-shit crazy cracked out fringe-pirate from Castor would even try to sell you into slavery (cause there'd probably be more money in turning him over than accepting the deal). At one or below, watch your back: they do occasionally take people off the streets when supply is low... No more than one at 8 without GM permission. None at 9 or above without GM permission.

Focus: This is the Grit of the Character: it represents how much they can push themselves in the pursuit of their beliefs. Based on the Prologue and the background you subsequently write, the GM will assign you a focus rating, with a 10 level hierarchy of focus that determines in what sorts of actions you may use your focus. If you fail on Focused actions, you may lose Focus and/or Path. Path: The Gemini is a strange place, and not everyone values the same things. Based on the Prologue and the background you subsequently write, the GM will assign you a path and a level along that path, with a 10 level hierarchy of sins that you must adhere to. If you fail to do so, you may lose path and/or focus.

Advantages/Disadvantages: Natural abilities/traits that are not easily characterized as above.
