Maritime

(Basic) Maritime – Seaman
Despite the availability of aerial or orbital transportation, virtually every world still makes use of maritime travel. This may be for pure economic or logistical reasons – a million tons of crude promethium cannot be transported cost-efficiently by air – or it may be because the culture in question’s technology may not have advanced to the level of air travel. The men and women who traverse the seas and lakes of the Imperium are generally very superstitious – virtually every vessel has some sort of shrine to the Emperor, and many seamen make use of non-Imperial ‘lucky charms’, in the hope of quelling storms, avoiding pirates and making it to the destination in time for bonus payments.

(Advanced) Maritime – Skipper
To become the captain of a seafaring vessel requires two things – a love of the sea and the ability to protect his or her crew from the threats that come with it. Most skippers have been at sea for years, perhaps even their entire lives. Although their profession is far less glamorous and high tech than that of starship captain, few would give up the rocking waves, pirate raids and alien sea creatures for the serenity of the void.
