The Field Mechanic is a valued addition to any space ship, colony, or space station. Some of the most historic battles in recent history have won or lost by the skills of mechanics mid-battle. Outside of combat Field Mechanics are invaluable in applied fusion technological application testing and anywhere fusion power is part of life. Only the Mummies, with their advanced bio-tech, might risk starting a colony without a field mechanic.
Appearance: Depending on the jobs mechanics can be grungy, professional, or wearing Bio-Fuse!Gear(TM).
