Player > Items > Miscellaneous > Starship crew, officer
Price: Skill bonus x 5 per week
Although most starships require crews of only half a dozen or
fewer to fly, larger vessels can require 20 or more crew members
to operate successfully. Standard crew members usually don’t
have a stat block, but they are generally characters of CR 1 or
lower. They cannot fill roles in starship combat, but they can
serve on teams supporting an officer in a role.
Officers are NPCs who can be hired to fill unoccupied starship
combat roles on a starship. Officer stat blocks can be created
using the monster creation rules beginning on page 126 of the
Alien Archive, with the skill most associated with their starship
role as a master skill. They can be any CR, but few officers will
serve on a starship of a lower tier than their CR. Officers can have
any class graft, but it’s generally easier to find envoys, mechanics,
operatives, and soldiers interested in serving aboard starships
than mystics, solarians, or technomancers.
The price of hiring a starship officer is based on the typical
total bonus she has in a specific skill relevant to her starship
role, representing her skill level. However, the GM can determine
that a specific officer actually has a bonus much higher or
lower than the norm for someone at her pay rate. At the GM’s
discretion, NPCs that the PCs have helped or allied with can
choose to become crew members on the PCs’ starship, possibly
reducing the price to hire them by half, one-third, or even to
zero for exceptionally grateful NPCs.
