Neshaten Aviator

An aviator is someone who either pilots fighters and bombers or starships in the Kingdom of Neshaten. Aviators are responsible for helping to maintain their craft, whether its a small attack craft or a large starship and also assist in repairs to shipboard equipment.

Their duties are broad, they work alongside their ships engineers to ensure that the ships performance remains are its peek.

Like with marines, there are three different types of aviators - Combat Aviators, Bombers Aviators, and Starship Aviators.

Duties

Combat Aviators

A combat aviator is someone who flies a fighter and performs anti-fighter duties, but they also fly scouts. They are responsible only for their assigned fighter. When assigned to marine transports, they are responsible for their assigned dropships.

Bomber Aviators

A person who flies a bomber is known as a Bomber Aviator, they are responsible for bombing either bases or serving bombing runs against enemy starships. They are responsible for their assigned bombers.

Starship Aviators

Unlike Combat and Bomber Aviators, a Starship Aviator's job is far more broad. They are responsible not only for flying a starship, but they are also reponsible for operating a ships weapons systems and science stations and thus are highly trained for their field, this is because Aviators are considered bridge officers. Starship Aviator's are taught everything, from flying a ship, to operating the various terminals that one may find on a bridge. Aviators also typically operate the ships forward guns. Starship Aviators can branch off into 'sub-aviators', or rather, occupations within the starship aviator tree that are more specific. Currently, only two exist. Flight Aviators and Science Aviators, these aviators still fly the ship, but they are more responsible in their tasks.

Science Aviators

A Science Aviator is a person who not only flies the ship, but also, operates the ships science station. Science Aviators have more responsibilities than those of a regular or flight aviator becaues they are required to examine, analyze, and report back on scientific scans and must also sift through the data that a ships sensors is receiving, to present an accurate picture for the ships captain. They are also the types of people who may often leave a ships bridge to help fix problems that may crop up in a ships systems.

Science Aviators are a rare breed. They are also the 'only' sub-occupation of Starship Aviators that a soldier can start out with, however, It is recommended that only players who are knowledgable in science in real life pick this sub-occupation.

Despite having their duties be related to science, science aviators are still aviators who pilot the ship. Because of their speciality, if they are the only aviator on board, or the only senior aviator on board, then they are allowed to slave their scientific terminals operations to their flight terminal, to make flying the ship and performing thier specific tasks easier.

Flight Aviators

Flight Aviators are aviators who have served aboard their assigned ship for several missions and know their occupations field well enough to be granted the title of Flight Aviator. Unlike a Science Aviator, Flight Aviators are responsible only for flying the ship and firing its weapons. If there is no Science Aviator on board, then a Flight Aviator will also be responsible for operating a ships sensors.

Flight Aviator is an occupation that a soldier has to train into, they can't start off as one.

Required Skills

The following is a list of required skills by 'all' Aviators.

Skills Reason
Starship Operations Whether its a fighter, bomber, or starship - Aviators are taught how to fly all manners of craft including those they may not be assigned to. All aviators are taught how to fly shuttles and other smaller, non-combat craft. Drop-ships they are also taught on, but most dropships are flown by Marines
Survival and Military All Aviators are taught basic survival technics in case they are either shot down (groundside) or are stranded (space)
Maintenance and Repair All Aviators are taught how to maintain their craft, even though most maintenance is left up to flight mechanics, or when in the case of starships, engineers.
