Astronaut training allowing you to perform space walks, handle necessary equipment for surviving in vacuum or poisonous atmospheres, and avoid pitfalls when exploring in open space, on moons or exoplanets.
Roll d100 + your Survival Space skill against DR 80
On a success you handle a dangerous or difficult situation in open space or in a non-planetary setting.
In battle you can eliminate penalties from Zero G or other environmental penalties from being in space. On a success you gain a +5 bonus with a +5 for each 20 in success rate.
+30 DR if attempting open space feats without proper equipment
+20 DR when operating under duress or during battle
-20 DR with a tieline to a control center or with access to specialised AI assistant
On a short space flight from a planet to its moon your pilot collapses and life support systems mysteriously turns off. You help your group in the emergency space suits. Success requires a roll against DR 100 as you are operating under duress.
Survival skills for space are distinct from wilderness survival, and can include both technical abilities and personal traits necessary to operate in a spacecraft and survive in a hostile environment. These include managing life support systems like oxygen and pressure, operating complex equipment, and demonstrating physical and mental resilience like decision-making, physical dexterity, and the ability to handle pressure.
With this skill you can operate all normal equipment used when travelling or living in space environments.
In the event of a partial or total mission failure, astronauts also require extensive knowledge of water survival and other emergency procedures to ensure their safety after landing or splashing down.
