Space Forces Scientist Template   75 pts.

The Stellar Guard doesn't just conquer and defend: it also explores. Science officers are present on most ships assigned to independent duty, just in case. This template. also covers medical officers, who are present on all ships. Scientists often dislike being on warships, but they realize the dangers of exploration, and accept the protection grudgingly. Both Scientists and medical officers are considered warrant officers: they have the privileges of officers, but don't command troops. Scientists often conflict with military commanders, when scientists place their thirst for knowledge over their safety or the safety of the ship they are assigned to. Still, most commanders listen to these men and women of science when the commander is faced with something that he or she doesn't understand.
