# Federation Nobility ### Description: The nobility own the lands in-which the Federation Government operates. They have their own fleets, and sometimes conduct war against one another. They have great wealth, and live lives of extreme opulence and luxury. #### Assignments ##### Seated: Seated nobility are those who don't need to manage their lands, the Federation does that for them. This leaves the nobles time to carouse, party, and generally enjoy the fruits of their laborers labor. ##### Free: Free nobles are those who are free to run their lands as they see fit, without interference by the Federation. These nobles are more involved with their lands, and may face greater threats to their lives, but the risk often comes with the greater reward of being the king of your lands, answering to no one but a possible lord above you, else only your own conscious. ##### Colonial: The Colonial nobility are those on the edges of Federation society. Unlike Free nobles, who have to fight the Senate for control over their lands, Colonial nobles are often begging for any help they can get, being at the fringes and edges of Federation land. Safer from Inter-noble warfare Colonial Nobles instead face greater risk of attacks from foreign nations or unknown species. ## Entry Requirements: [[Charisma]] 10 +, [[Social Standing]] 12+ ##### Nationality: [[Over of the United Federation of Earth]] ### Survival: [[Social Standing]] 14+ Advancement: [[Charisma]] 12+, [[Social Standing]] 14+ #### Injury Payments: 0% ##### Term Length: 100 Years ##### Related To: [[Versian Aristocratic]], [[Xiao-Ming Lower-Level Exec]], [[Imperial Government]] #### Skill & Mustering Out Benefits Table: | 1D6 | Seated Noble | Free Noble | Colonial Noble | Muster Out Benefit | | --- | ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | 1 | [[Credit Rating]] | [[Gun Combat]] or [[Melee Combat]] | [[Charisma]] +1 | [[Credit Rating]] or 50,000 Credit Pension | | 2 | [[Social Standing]] +1 | [[Charisma]] +1 | [[Diplomat]] or [[Logic]] | [[Attractiveness]] +1 or [[Social Standing]] +1 | | 3 | [[Charisma]] +1 | [[Social Standing]] +1 | [[Language]] or [[Listen]] | Ship | | 4 | [[Drinking and Drugs]] or [[Bribery]] | [[Diplomat]] or[[Bargain and Commerce]] | [[Social Standing]] +1 | Friendly Contact | | 5 | [[Human Perception]] or [[Inquire]] | [[Disguise]] or [[Intimidate]] | [[Knowledge]] or [[Scholarly Studies]] | 5,000 Credits or [[Charisma]] +1 | | 6 | [[Wardrobe and Style]] or [[Personal Grooming]] | [[Streetwise]] or [[Concentration]] | [[Leadership]] or [[Tactics]] | [[Intelligence]] or [[Education]] +1 | #### Career Ranks | LvL | Seated Noble | Free Noble | Colonial Noble | Rewards | | --- | ------------ | ---------- | -------------- | ------------------------------ | | 1 | Baronet | Baronet | Baronet | [[Attractiveness]] +1 | | 2 | Vice-Baron | Vice-Baron | Vice-Baron |[[Social Standing]] +1 | | 3 | Baron | Baron | Baron | [[Carouse]] or [[Persuade]] +1 | | 4 | Count | Viscount | Marquee | [[Credit Rating]] +2 | | 5 | Lord | Lord | Lord | Immunity to Aging | | 6 | Duke | Duke | Earl | [[Social Standing]] +3 | #### Events Table | 2D6 | Event | | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 2 | You are publicly shamed, your lands fall into the hands of the Senate, but you retain your title.
