A pristine dress uniform, a standard-issue officer’s sidearm, a tactical holomap projector, and a low-level clearance badge.

Special Ability:

Tactical Evaluation: You have a -1 step bonus to [Awareness-Perception] (/skills/awareness/#perception) or [Tactics-Infantry Tactics] (/skills/tactics/#infantry-tactics) checks made specifically to evaluate an opponent’s combat formation, defensive weaknesses, or equipment quality before an engagement begins.

Tendencies (Pick 2):

• The Officer in Charge: Assert your rank or authority to take command of a chaotic situation, even when doing so makes you the primary target for enemies or social scrutiny.
• The Strategist: Refuse to deviate from a sophisticated or “correct” tactical plan even when a simpler, more “rugged” solution is available, prioritizing the doctrine you were taught.
