You are a skilled worker in the asteroid belt, often mining and extracting valuable resources from the rocky terrain. Perhaps you found your way into this field through a fascination with geology or astronomy, or you may have been recruited by a mining corporation or space agency.
You have spent your life working in the asteroid belts, drilling, excavating, and prospecting the rocky terrain. You know the ins and outs of the mining rigs like the back of your hand and can have the basics of piloting a rock Pod through the simple asteroid fields. You've also developed a keen eye for spotting valuable minerals and resources. However, life as a Rock Hopper can be dangerous and unpredictable, with everything from equipment malfunctions to pirate attacks to worry about.
You've spent the first part of your life with those who "earn a crust," busting asteroid crusts in and around asteroid belts, mining resources, and helping haul cargo between stations and outposts. You have an understanding of space travel and the dangers that come with it, including micro-meteors, radiation, and zero-gravity environments. You may have picked up some skills from family members who worked in the industry or from a mentor who took you under their wing.
The Asteroid Harvester is your trusted companion in the asteroid belt. Initially designed for mining, it can be modified for various purposes. As you gain experience, you'll uncover hidden upgrades and capabilities, turning it into a versatile tool for survival and resource extraction.
A wrist-mounted device that helps you navigate the treacherous asteroid fields of space. It begins with basic navigation assistance, but as you delve deeper into the legacy, it unveils advanced features like micro-meteor detection and emergency escape route calculations.
A handheld scanner designed to detect valuable minerals and ores in asteroid composition. It starts with basic mineral identification, but over time, it can pinpoint rare and precious resources hidden within asteroids.
You have a keen sense of navigation and can plot a course through asteroid fields using the stars and other objects as markers to find your way through the the dense tumbling rocks.
You have an innate talent for finding and extracting valuable resources from asteroids.
You have a talent for working in zero-gravity environments and are comfortable navigating and maneuvering in zero-gravity environments. This allows you to maneuver around objects and obstacles easily.
Your experience in prospecting has given you extensive knowledge of rocks and minerals, allowing you to identify valuable resources at a glance.
Spending too much time in zero gravity can make you nauseous and disoriented.
You are accustomed to spending long periods of time away from civilization and may have difficulty adjusting to life on planets or space stations.
Spending extended periods of time in confined spaces can trigger anxiety and stress for you.
Spending long periods of time in isolation can have a psychological impact on even the toughest space miner. You may occasionally experience bouts of paranoia or hallucinations, making it difficult to distinguish reality from your mind's tricks.
