===Independent Settler Template===

The Indy Settlers, aka Real Colonists, make up most of the inhabitants of the Treaty Zone. These people made the galaxy. The first-born of each generation take their parents spaceships, leave home and keep flying outwards until they find an empty planet and make it their own. Real Colonists founded 95% of the inhabited worlds in the milky way. Later, more civilized generations may grow soft, but the people on the edges of humanity are tough as nails.

===Corporate Settler Template===

Corporate settlers are people from civilized worlds who want to start afresh in a new home and get themselves some of that colonial ruggedness. Corporate settlements are huge, industrialised operations with their own inbuilt bureaucracy, wage system and corporate culture. The upside is that after a few years loyalty, settlers generally have a high standard of living and good healthcare in a spacious apartment (possibly even a ranch). The downside is that corporations tend to (intentionally or not) micromanage peoples lives and throw up unnecessary restrictions. This template is an example of a settler on a planet where everything went well. Not all corporate settlers need this template. This is for skilled professionals only.

Mind +2  (Only the brightest and best are hired.)

They are fiercely independent nomads who wander space, rarely, if ever, landing on planets or space stations.
