    Mecha Destroids: Players selecting this skill must choose one specific Destroid in which he or she is taught the fundamentals of manuevering. Despite striking similarities, each Mecha unit is different and requires special instruction. This means that a player may choose this skill repeatedly in order to pilot more than one type of Destroid. For Example: A player selects the pilot Mecha once to pilot the Destroid known as the Gladiator, that's one skill. He or she then selects the Mecha pilot skill again to operate an Excaliber and, yet again, to pilot a Spartan. That's a total of three Destroids, so that's three skills. Only the Destroid O.C.C. teaches the operation of all Destroids. Note: This training concentrates on piloting, not combat. The number of attacks per melee, bonuses to strike, dodge, parry, etc., are identical to those of the pilot. To maximize one's combat abilities, Mecha Combat must also be selected for each pilot Mecha skill. Base Skill is 56%+3% per level of experience.

    Veritech Fighter: This is a specialized skill only available to the Veritech O.C.C. It includes full instruction of the various Veritech fighter variants and their operation.

Base Skill is 70%+5% per level of experience.

    Mecha Combat: Each Mecha has a different weapon system and hand to hand capability. To take full advantage of these astounding machines, the character should have the Mecha Combat skill. This training enables the pilot to complete the symbiotic link with the Mecha, nearly doubling the number of attacks and agility. Note: Like the Pilot Mecha skill, the player must select Mecha Combat for each mecha to function at maximum efficiency. Only players with the Veritech O.C.C. can get Mecha Combat: Veritech Fighters.
