**The pilot is skilled at making the most efficient use of fuel, positive effects of gravity wells and the like.

**'Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing' – ancient Charioteer aphorismThis discipline permits the pilot to bring their ship in to land more efficiently, allowing them to exchange a normal skill die for a mastery die, for the purposes of landing only. | **'Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing' – ancient Charioteer aphorismThis discipline permits the pilot to bring their ship in to land more efficiently, allowing them to exchange a normal skill die for a mastery die, for the purposes of landing only. | ||

**The charioteer is skilled in piloting their craft through very tight spaces and at cornering at speeds that would surely bring others undone. This discipline allows the pilot to add two dice to skill checks, or negate two dice in penalties or penalise attackers in these circumstances. | **The charioteer is skilled in piloting their craft through very tight spaces and at cornering at speeds that would surely bring others undone.

**Example: Sasha the Charioteer is fleeing in her ship from three Vuldrok marauders, which are faster and better armed than her small ship. She turns her ship towards them, attempting to slip between them and force them to spend time coming about while she escapes. This allows her to negate two dice of incoming fire from the nearest marauder. | **Example: Sasha the Charioteer is fleeing in her ship from three Vuldrok marauders, which are faster and better armed than her small ship.

**A pilot's training at this level is transcendent, permitting them to get their ship to perform near-impossible tasks, contravene design limitations and operate under circumstances where a normal vessel would suffer catastrophic systems failure. A charioteer of this skill can add two dice to their skill ignoring the 10d cap, and force their ship to exceed normal limitations. | **A pilot's training at this level is transcendent, permitting them to get their ship to perform near-impossible tasks, contravene design limitations and operate under circumstances where a normal vessel would suffer catastrophic systems failure.

**Example: Sasha is still being pursued by the marauders. One of her engines is dead, and she fears for the worst. She takes her ship into the upper atmosphere of a nearby gas giant, gambling that she can bring her ship through where her less skilled pursuers will fail. While this would normally be a death sentence, her mastery of this discipline gives her a chance of survival. | **Example: Sasha is still being pursued by the marauders.
