Editing NiS/Crew Creation (section)

==Independent==
====Impressionable Youth====
0-1<br>
Cost: 15cr<br>
Faction: Independent, Outlaw<br>
Starting experience: -10

Every now and again, a crew will find itself burdened with a stowaway who is little more than a child.  Usually, the stow away is left at the nearest space-port, but sometimes the kid manages to endear himself to the crew, and he or she is allowed to stick around.

''Special'':<br>
'''Negative Experience''':  The impressionable youth starts with –10 experience.  He gets 1 advance at –5 experience, and a second advance when he reaches 0 experience.  In addition, upon reaching 0 experience, he gets +1 Strength, Toughness, Initiative, and Leadership (Growth spurt, if you would).

'''Impressionable''': Upon reaching 0 experience, select a “role model” for the impressionable you by randomly selecting a member of your gang.  Note, if it is impossible for the youth to become like the selected crewman (e.g., the selected crewman is a scavie or a xeno, you may roroll the role model.  From now on, treat the impressionable youth as the juve in the Archetype of his role model.  Note: this does not change his stats, but he gains any special abilities and skill tables of his new Archetype.

'''Disobedient''':  If the impressionable youth is ever left on the HQ ship, the captain must take a leadership check.  If this check fails, the little bastard has stowed away on the landing ship and you must take him into combat.  Unless he is within 2” of another crew member, he is subject to the rules for stupidity.  In addition, any models within 2” are at –1 to their initiative because they have to watch out for the impressionable youth.  Also, if the impressionable youth is wounded, anyone within 2” at the time does not get their d6xp for taking part in the fight.

''Special'':<br>
'''Pistol Marksman''':  If the pisolero rolls the marksman skill, he may use all of its benefits with a pistol.  However, he may not use skills like rapid fire, fastshot, or gunfighter the turn in which he uses marksman.

'''Intuitive Gunfight''':  Pistoleros have mastered the zen dance of death dealing.  The move around the battlefield in an intuitive ballet, rolling and spinning with incoming fire.

''Special''<br>
'''Ninja Skills''': the Ninja starts off with the skills of Dive, Sneak Up, and Cat Fall

'''Skill Replacements''':  If the ninja rolls a skill that he starts with, replace it with the following skills:
* '''Unseen Walk''' (replaces Dive).  The ninja has the uncanny ability to use distraction and shadows to move through open spaces unseen.  If the ninja begins his movement hidden and ends his movement hidden, he is considered hidden for the entire turn, even if he passed over open ground.
* '''Surprise Attack''' (replaces Sneak Up).  If the Ninja charges from hiding, or attacks with a silent weapon from hiding, the target may not dodge.  In addition, his weapons skill is halved in the first round of combat, and he is taken out of action on a 4+.
* '''Diving Charge''' (replaces Catfall).  If the Ninja is on a higher level than the target of his charge, he may leap d6” from the ledge (Ninja’s with the leap skill may leap 2d6”).  If the leap falls short, the Ninja takes falling damage as normal.  However, if the leap is enough to reach the target, fight a round of combat as normal.  In addition to the normal damage of combat, the loser also takes the damage from the fall.


===Bounty Hunters===
With all the pirates, aliens, criminal, scum, heretics, and mutants floating around imperial space, it is not at all uncommon for bands of bounty hunters to put up money for a small ship and make themselves a living by bringing the lawless in for justice.  Bounty hunters are, by nature, highly independent and not much used to taking orders, however, when leadership is needed, it naturally falls to the oldest, most grizzled, most wily member of the crew emerges as the de facto leader.

A gang may have only one bounty hunter of any type.

====Bounty Hunter Elite====
Credits: 105<br>
Starting Experience: 60+d6<br>
Faction: Freelancers.  Elite, Rare 9<br>

''Special'':<br>
'''Capture''':  Models taken out of action in close combat are automatically captured, regardless of who wins the game, and whether or not the bounty hunter is taken out of action

'''Bounty''':  Whenever a bounty hunter captures an enemy, on the roll of a 5+ they are identified as an outlaw and they (and their equipment—its evidence you see) can be turned over to the nearest planetary authority for a bounty equal to his total points including equipment.  This bounty is included in gross profits, and must pass through on the income chart before it goes into stash.

Small Fry Bounty:  If the Bounty Hunter Leader does not go out of action, then, in the post game phase, he may use his post-game action to collar a couple of small fry bounties for d6x10cr.

'''''Captain''''':<br>
A Bounty Hunter Elite can be made the captain of the ship for an additional 35 cr.  If he is made captain, he gets the Leadership abilities, +1 LD, and access to Techno Skills.

A bounty hunter crew can have 0-2 Bounty Hunter Elites, and any number of Bounty Hunters or Novices.  Bounty Hunter Crews cannot take any outlaws.

'''We Deal in Lead''':  The first rule of keeping together a bounty hunter crew: the one thing a bounty hunter is not is a merchant.  Any bounty hunters leader who tells his crewmen to load and unload boxes isn’t going to have a crew for long.  A bounty hunter leader’s ship may not gain income from cargo bays or the mining rig attachment to drop ships.

''Advances''
'''Small Unit Tactics''':  All models within coherency (that is, within 2,” or within 2” of someone within 2” etc.) with the ex-IG can use his leadership for all tests on that characteristic.  In addition, if the ex-IG is “walking point”—that is, he is the first man in the group—any model within coherency can interrupt an over watch shot fired at the squad.  If a model chooses to interrupt, that counts as his turn.

'''Radio Man''': The ex-IG had some experience on the vox in the core.  Thus, he knows a couple of tricks to make sure the message gets through clearly.  Add +2 to all comms checks.

''Special''<br>
'''Experienced''': The veteran has seen a good amount of combat in his time, and thus he starts off with two free rolls on the advancement table.  However, not all of that experience has been good: to see what lingering effects he has from his service, roll a d6
1-3: War wounds: the veteran has suffered a serious injury.  To determine the extent of his injury, roll on the injury chart, re-rolling “Dead,” and any result above a 45.
4: Withdrawn: Although he has no physical scars, the psychic scars are deep enough to make him avoid human contact.  The veteran may not search for rare trade. 
5: Deserter: Change the veteran’s faction from freelancer to outlaw.  In addition, if the veteran comes in contact with a commissar, if the commissar passes a leadership test he recognizes the deserter and turns hostile.
6: Deathwish: Although he never shares it with anyone, some part of his past must be so horrible that some part of him just wants to die.  Sometimes, in the stress of combat, this manifests itself into recklessness.  No more than once per episode, the GM can force the veteran to take a leadership test.  If the test fails, the GM can move the veteran for the turn.
