You have studies advances theories on astrophysics. This knowledge is not only essential when travelling space - it also gives you a bonus to spells relying on Gravitycraft and Void Manipulation.
Roll d100 + your Astrophysics skill vs. DR 100
On a successful roll you can answer a question on celestial bodies (time dilation, expected gravitational acceleration and similar)
When used i combination with Gravitycraft or Void Manipulation spells you gain a bonus to these spells. +10 on a success, +5 per 20 in success rate.
+20 DR if you try to do advanced mathematical calculations under stress or during combat
+10 DR if you lack access to your normal means of calculation and fact checks
-10 DR if working with access to a fully equipped library or similar
You approach a new solar system in your spacecraft. You attempt to calculate which planet should be in the habitable zone and combine this with estimations of the age of the solar system and the stability of the planetary orbits. Roll your skills vs. DR 100.
Astrophysics is a very useful field of study for any race or civilisation aiming for the stars. With this skill you have a broad general knowledge of celestial laws, planetary conditions and theoretical physics.
Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that uses the laws of physics and chemistry to study the celestial objects and phenomena in the universe, including stars, planets, and galaxies. It applies principles from various fields of physics, such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and relativity, to explain things like the formation and death of stars, the nature of black holes, and the origin of the universe (cosmology).
