Starfleet Personnel File
Parent Figure
You have a large family, with many children, nieces, and nephews, and you’ve learned how to coordinate even the most unruly and fractious of groups when necessary. When attempting or assisting a Task, and two or more other characters are involved in the Task, the first Complication generated on the Task — either by the character attempting the Task, or one of the assistants — may be ignored.
Bold: Engineering
Whenever you attempt a Task with Engineering, and you buy one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you may re-roll a single d20.
Jury-Rig
Whenever you attempt an Engineering Task to perform repairs, you may reduce the Difficulty by two, to a minimum of 0. If you do this, however, then the repairs are only temporary and will last only a single scene, plus one additional scene per Momentum spent (Repeatable) before they fail again. Jury-rigged repairs can only be applied once, and the Difficulty to repair a device that has been Jury-rigged increases by 1.
Starship Expert
Whenever you succeed at a Conn Task to identify a type of starship, or to try and understand an unknown form of Starship, you gain one bonus Momentum, which may only be used on the Obtain Information Momentum Spend, or to pay part of the cost of the Create Advantage Momentum Spend (where the Advantage must represent some form of known or observed weakness in the ship being studied).
Past the Redline
Engineers understand that safety tolerances and operating margins are always designed into the acceptable performance range of equipment. While not recommended the equipment is usually capable of higher performance, if the consequences are risky. This Talent provides bonus Momentum for using a ship’s System until the end of the scene. Select the System you wish to enhance, and the number of bonus Momentum to be provided. Attempt a Daring + Engineering Task with a Difficulty equal to the bonus Momentum selected. If the you succeed, subsequent Tasks using that System automatically generate that amount of bonus Momentum. However, to represent the risks involved, the Task also increases its Complication Range by the same number as the Bonus Momentum provided. If a Complication is rolled, the System no longer provides bonus Momentum and the System suffers a number of Breaches equal to half the ship's Scale.
As a slave race, Trox had risen as far as he could in the ranks on the ISS Sir Kirke's Remorse. Just to become leader of Delta shift, he'd already had to prove himself twice as much as any human would. Trox was becoming frustrated that the Chief Engineer, and Assistant Chief Engineer on Beta shift viewed him with nothing but derision. Trox had much better ideas on how to run the Sir Kirke's Remorse, but his ideas were met only with time in the Agony Booth. Trox's fortune changed when, in deep space, the reactor of the Sir Kirke's Remorse started leaking during Alpha shift. Tragically, nearly the whole of Alpha and Beta shifts died while fighting the leak, as did the leader of Gamma shift. Conveniently for Trox, he was off-shift at the time of the leak and was sleeping. This accident left Trox as the most senior member of the engineering team, despite his stature and he was elevated to Acting Chief Engineer.
