An individual’s ability to detect and discover clues or specific objects via an active search. This Skill also reflects the ability to “connect the dots” between different objects. Initially, this Skill resembles something akin to rummaging, but with training, it can become a quick and powerful tool. It can be used to detect everything from inconsistencies in credit transfers to finding biological samples at a crime scene. This Skill revolves around a focused, in-depth search and not a passive perception of the area around the individual.

Investigation +0: Common awareness of things happening around you.

Investigation +1: You understand the importance of observation without obstruction. You are more careful of the subtle nuances that can be observed and where they can lead, but it takes time and effort to form the connections.

Investigation +2: Your 'educated guess' success rate has improved, demonstrating your ability to connect the dots of a scene, or multiple instances of evidence you've looked over. You can put together the puzzle pieces, given enough time, and reliably produce an accurate result.

Investigation +3: You see the strands that connect events, and can follow those from point to point. It takes you relatively little time to piece together seemingly unconnected points of interest and form the bigger picture. CorSec would pay a decent living wage for your employ.

Investigation +4: When the so-called experts aren't enough, you're the one who gets the call. It is a relatively simple matter for you to piece together clues and connections as if weaving a complex tapestry. The world is full of hints, and you know the right places to look.

Investigation +5: The world is a loom before you, and you are the weaver at its helm. Everything has a place, everything is connected, and you see those connections as easily as if you were tracing a child's connect-the-dots artwork.

Perception +3: Details paint a larger picture of understanding and heighten your awareness of your surroundings. Very little escapes your notice when you are focused.

Prerequisites:

Most vehicles, especially large-scale ones, have a wide array of systems that need to be watched, managed, and maintained for the vehicle to properly function.

The Operations Skill is an individual’s ability to work at these various positions as part of a larger crew to maintain the functioning of the vehicle as a whole. As an individual’s ability grows in this skill they can even lead the efforts of others as the complex interactions between these systems become mastered.

Prerequisites:

An individual's ability to positively influence others by power of the spoken word.

Progression in this skill also comes with the ability to understand others’ motivations, needs and wants. This skill acts as a counterpart to Intimidation, which deals with influencing others through aggression and coercion rather than understanding and diplomacy.

Prerequisites:

Prerequisites:

Your character's ability to force a target into acting a certain way, be it based on your demeanor or your reputation. Intimidation does not typically cause an individual to actively believe something different, it simply forces that individual into a course of action out of fear for their own survival and well being. Initially, this skill would allow an individual to bully a mentally weak target into an action he or she is hesitant to take, while subsequent levels of the skill allows an intimidator to coerce more unwilling targets into action or giving up sensitive information. This skill acts as a counterpart to Charm, which deals with influencing others through understanding and diplomacy rather than aggression and coercion. The success of this skill depends on a target’s Resolve.

Intimidation +0: You know that the promise of danger can sway others into action, but not enough to fashion those threats into a weapon of your own.

Intimidation +1: You have learned the effectiveness of threats towards individuals and the use of appearance in order to gain cooperation from others. While it can be useful against the weak minded, it would take longer than is worthwhile to influence others. You struggle to get good information out of others during interrogations.

Intimidation +2: Not only do you understand the effectiveness of physical threats towards an individual and non-verbal aggression, you also can leverage fairly apparent external factors like a nearby ally. Given enough uninterrupted time with a target, you can poke and prod until the cracks begin to form without actually having to follow through on your threats.

Intimidation +3: You have reached an efficiency with threats that is almost routine. You can gauge the weaknesses of a target and leverage their fears in just the right way to get your desired outcome in most situations. It is a mundane task to influence those of weaker minds, and it's only a matter of time for those of stronger wills once you find something to exploit. You may not be able to crack seasoned agents or spies into giving up valuable secrets, but you can extract most other information from them.

Intimidation +4: At this level, an experienced individual can weave threats, both physical and implied, like an emotional terrorist. You are skilled at knowing just what weakness to poke, which expression to wear, and how much leverage to apply in order to get the desired result from even a strong-willed target. You can crack seasoned agents or spies to give up valuable information.

Intimidation +5: No longer merely experienced, you have mastered the nuances involved in weaving any kind of threat to gain your desired results from a target. Even the smallest of openings can be touched upon and pried wide open to your methods, surgically applying leverage to the right weakness. You can extract the darkest, most sensitive secrets from the most hardened of spies.

Prerequisites:

Resolve is your character's willpower and their ability to handle stress, keep a level head, and stand firm in the face of danger. It is also your character's mental resilience against both skills and the effects of Force-based intrusions of the mind such as Charm, Intimidation, Mind Trick, Suppression, Illusion, Telepathy, Terror, and Force Interrogation. The higher a character’s Resolve is, relative to an attack/threat Skill or Force Power, the less effective the attack's result is in conjunction with that character's skills. Only in the scenario of an extreme disparity in ability could Resolve outright prevent the onset of an ability.

Resolve +0: Basic willpower. You can resist the temptations of eating something unhealthy in favor of something healthy. Unless you're really really hungry. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but so can words.

Resolve +1: Idle threats bounce off of you, but a clear threat of danger can give you pause. Conflict between allies and foes alike won’t stress you out, as long as they don’t stretch out for an extended period of time.

Resolve +2: You can fend off stronger temptations such as substance addiction for short periods of time. You can keep calm while someone fires a blaster next to your ear on a battlefield or on the noisy bridge of a capital ship.

Resolve +3: You could quit an addictive substance by willpower alone. Words are wind.

Resolve +4: Your character can face down an angry rancor, in its den, without so much as blinking, and can think clearly on any battlefield, whether the odds are in your favor or not.

Resolve +5: You have been fighting a losing battle for weeks, but can still stand in the middle of a warzone facing a superior foe that outnumbers you 10-1 and has you surrounded without losing heart, and carry on the fight.
