Well, not quite Space:1999. I did pre-order the RPG way back and expect it to show up eventually. And I did do a post in how Traveller could work for that game (and it really could very easily, as well as UFO). And as there is a Swift ship in the series, I just need a ship's boat pilot for that to have my challenge in a challenge met!
Rolling some dice we get 485433. Deciding that I really want someone a bit sturdier, trying again I get 8457C9. Which I'm going to re-arrange to 8C5749 (swapped DEX and INT, which I normally don't do but it is my NPC).
RosAnne Kairo grew up on Zila in the Aramis subsector, RosAnne applied to the Naval Academy off-world. While rejected, she was accepted into the Imperial Navy. Zila is actually an Amber-zoned world - a Puzzle system - and the Imperial Naval Base at Aramis is always interested in that world. So, when an aspiring native applied, they pulled some levers to get her into the Imperial Navy to watch and see.
Term 1 (short term, 3 years)
Year 1: Basic training in crew: Liason-1, Electronic-1 RosAnne learned the Naval etiquette and how to deal with people that we not from Zila. She also showed an interest in electronics, receiving more than one burn from soldering systems.
Year 2: Siege. Getting a Purple Heart (she rolled the survival roll exactly!), Spacehand Recruit was promoted to Spacehand Apprentice. She worked on her Cutlass-1 skill to hopefully prevent getting wounded in her next combat mission.
Year 3: Training. Apparently, the Imperial rotates high stress terms with lower stress ones at times. While promoted to E-3, Able Spacehand, she does not learn much else this final year of her first term.
Able Spacehand Kairo decides to reenlist, and the Navy is only too happy to oblige (rolled an 11, almost a mandatory reenlistment!)
Term 2
Year 1: Shore Duty! While she makes another promotion to E4, Petty Officer 3rd Class (and only by dint of that SOC 9), she again does not pick up any skills.
Year 2: More training. She is promoted yet again to E5, Petty Officer 2nd Class, and gets her rating on Ships Boat-1, learning to fly shuttles and even some longer-range boats such as the Swift.
Year 3: Shore Duty. Not promoted, but she does pick up Forward Observer-1.
Year 4: Strike! Surviving easily, she was a practicing medic in this action. While not promoted again, she gained Medical-1 training and certification.
A bit disappointed by the lack of promotions, RosAnne is disillusioned by her Naval career and decides to retire to seek other opportunities. Perhaps on that moon base that monitors the radioactive dump site on the far side...
RosAnne Kairo, Petty Officer 2nd Class, Imperial Navy
8C5749, age 26, 2 terms Navy, Purple Heart, 2 combat ribbons
Ship's Boat-1, Liason-1, Electronic-1, Cutlass-1, Medical-1, Forward Observer-1
A short, dark-haired woman who speaks Anglic with a hard-to-place accent, RosAnne comes from Zila, a world with a mystery. After spending 2 terms in the Imperial Navy, she is now a Swift pilot on the moon, ferrying passengers to various points in the system.
