Nice! I'll make my choices shortly. Meanwhile any ideas on names or Darian naming conventions?
Does anything other than the event tables change?
Every Darrian has three names;
family name
birth name
taken name
Family names are passed down from the father. They cannot be changed for any reason, not even for marriage into another family. They generally refer to an object or phenomenon in the natural world. This can range from animals or plants, to types of weather or eclipses.
Birth names are granted exclusively by the mother, although most wives consult with their husbands prior to the naming in order to avoid undue irritation for disliked names. Birth names are granted soon after birth, due to an unspoken superstition that the name moulds the child to be. These names generally describe a personal characteristic (expressed or to be hoped for) or a type of flowering plant. The child is addressed and known by this name until it reaches its age of majority.
Taken names are what the youth chooses for themselves, once they have graduated to adulthood. From this point onwards the Darrian is known by this name, usually based on something greatly significant to the individual. It can literally be anything, from the name of an ancestor or great scientist, to a type of career or philosophical ideal. Whatever is selected normally provides an insight into the psyche of the Darrian and can be quite subtle or possess many levels of interpretation. Only family members or friends address a Darrian by their taken name only. Formal address is used by strangers, work companions or social services, comprising of the family name and taken name combined. The full three name version is only ever used for legal documentation or civic records.
Does anything other than the event tables change?
Every career has different entrance requirements, different skill check tables, different rank advancements, and different muster outs in addition to the different event tables.
That's why I suggested giving me a character concept and I help with picking a good career for it. It'd take me a couple of days to type up all the differences.

Mainly I was after the difference between the Darrian Navy and the normal navy. If much other than the event tables change I'll go straight Navy.

^Post assumes that the Darrian Navy only changes the event tables.
Ah, sorry, that's a different question :
Darrian Navy is built more along the lines of Star Trek ships, they have Bridge, Engineering, and Marines as assignments. The basic service skills are a hodgepodge of ship and combat skills. Their Bridge crews specialize in piloting, gunnery, and ship operation, the engineers in engineering and repair, and their Marines in combat, recon, and battle suits.
Survival DC's are bridge EDU 5, engineering Int 6, marine Dex 7. Advancement is Bridge Int 7, Engineering Edu 6, and Marine Edu 5. Commissions are Int 8+. Muster out cash ranges from 1K to 50K.
Basic Navy is built along the lines of Star Wars instead, Line/Crew for everyone on the ship is one assignment, then Engineering/Gunnery for the second assignment type, and finally Flight for the third. Basic service skills are about the same as the Darian Navy. Crew is built more for ship operation and combat, engineers for repair and gunnery operations, and flight for piloting and gunnery.
Suvival DC's are Line/Crew Int 5, Engineering/Gunnery Int 6, and Flight Dex 7. Advancement is Line/Crew 7, Engineering/Gunnery Edu 6, and Flight Edu 5+. Commission is Soc 8+ again.
Muster out tables are similar, but the other benefits are different.
When rolling for stats did you mean an overall of plus one? Because the post says you need a plus one, not an overall plus one.
I think I'll go with normal navy.
Was my first term completed correctly? I have the books so I think I did it right...
Yep, only thing I see you missed is you got a promotion, so you get another career skill roll on one of the tables available for your assignment.
NAME : Omaltdoy'tsart Yuftro (In practice, most humans call him some variant of 'Malt', 'Malty' or occasionally 'Old Malt')
RACE Droyne (Sport)
BIRTHWORLD : Born and raised on the Uskurv, an asteroid ship outfitted with Jump Drives inhabited by a Droyne clan that travelled up and down the Spinward Main offering ship maintenance and repair services.
('Homeworld' traits as Hi-Tech, Asteroid, Vacuum)
PROPOSED CHARACTER TYPE : By Preference, a Naval Pilot or Engineer (or possibly one cross-trained to the other)
My memory is that Droyne are also Psionic...though quietly so. Not sure how that would be handled rules-wise.[dice=Caste]1d6...Sport. Ideal for a travelling Droyne
S-3...-1
D-9...+1
E-5...-1
I-11..+1
E-10..+1
Caste - 5...SportAs a small race, physically weak and not hugely hard (but quite dexterous) seems the way to go)
Background Skills: Computers 0, Language 0, Vacc Suit 0, Zero-G 0
Those born into the Sport Caste on the Uskurv are generally encouraged to engage in their wanderlust, and travel the known worlds. They are expected during that time to make contact with any Droyne settlements or families they come across, and pick up any messages and/or stories they may have (in some ways acting the way a medieval troubadour would have, keeping a sense of community across vast distances).
I'm good with passing on Psionics entirely. If you don't mid making the roles, I'll go with that. My preference would be to start as an Imperial Pilot (using High Guard), and later transition into Engineering, taking some early Personal Development to try and push up my Endurance (as that directly affects how long I can reasonably stay in service).
I don't see Malt as the type to go through an Academy, he'd straight into service, hoping for shipboard assignments that mean travel.
When rolling for stats did you mean an overall of plus one? Because the post says you need a plus one, not an overall plus one.
I meant an overall +1, as in add up all mods and if it's not 1 or more roll again.
@Ancient Dragon
Are you going with a Darrian or an Imperial? You ahve race listed as Darrian. If you are playing a Darrian in the Imperial Navy, that's fine, but you'll be limited to TL12 tech.

Ok, been trying to keep up with everything, I think I am caught up. If I missed anything from anyone, let me know.
In your experience do you think it is better to diversify skills or focus on a few?
In my experience, it's best to play what you want to play. If you want to be really good at something, specialize in it, but accept you'll find yourselves in situations where breadth would be good. If you'd rather have something to do at all times, go for breadth, but realize you will never be as good as a specialist at anything.

@GM, could you suggest a planet/space station/asteroid for Hamden to be from, and possibly the one he settled on? I imagine him moving quite a distance away after his time in the marines, due to his generally bad experience there (Both in the service and in his personal life.)
For the second, I think even Harrison might be a good enough bet, as the planet would need Hydroponics specialists - would that sound reasonable? Trying to get some setting background from the wiki, but it's

When last we saw Dev...
He had grown in power within the Syndicate, but to do so he had to double-cross an old friend. This did not sit well with Dev, and even worse for his ex-friend, who now is gunning to take Dev down. Not wanting to confront his old friend, and worried about becoming too involved in the gang politics, Dev decides to switch gears. As luck would have it, an Imperial Scout Base is located on his world, and Dev decides to enlist...partly to escape the life he is afraid he might choose, and partly for the adventure of getting off-world and seeing new places.

No worries, with all these posts and rolls you're doing (Plus, we were alternating rolling which probably didn't help and you're keeping track of a lot of characters) Anyway, thanks for your help I really like the way she has turned out so far. Her mishap fits right into the ideas I have floating around in my head.
Anyway, service skills please. (For term 3 Special Arm)
Definitely going to take at least 1 term of drifter (Wander). Please roll for me to avoid confusion (Plus I'm going to bed and from what I can tell you don't need sleep). Service skills for drifter too, if you get that far.

The story of Dev continues...
After his failed attempt to hire on to the Imperial Scouts, poor Dev is shanghaied by the local Navy and spends the next 4 years aboard a system defense boat protecting the tradeways within the planet's system. Once his 4 year hitch is up, Dev tries again to enter the Scouts Service. While being in space was exciting, the strict rules of the Navy were not for him.
We pickup our story as Able Spacehand Dev Vorn musters out of the Navy and attempts once again to join the Imperial Scout Service.
