In the vastness of space, the ability to pilot a vehicle can mean the difference between life and death. The Vehicles - Piloting (Air/Space) skill encompasses the know-how and experience necessary to fly and operate all manner of airborne and space-faring vehicles.
As a skilled pilot, you are able to navigate through treacherous asteroid fields, dogfight enemy ships, and make high-speed maneuvers through the upper atmosphere of a planet. You know how to expertly handle your vessel in any situation, whether it’s a tiny one-seater fighter or a massive capital ship.
Your knowledge of physics, spatial geometry, and engineering allows you to operate the complex systems that make up your vehicle with ease. You can calculate trajectories, plot courses, and handle the subtle nuances of atmospheric flight and space combat.
In the midst of battle, you are a master of strategy and tactics, able to anticipate your opponent's moves and outmaneuver them at every turn. You are a true master of the skies and the void, and your skills are highly valued by those who seek to explore the reaches of the universe.
