The Bajao'a occupation of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo is responsible for the daily care and maintenance of equipment used by the clan. Their training begins in the Ruohui Giba'te (Academies) where Baqlii (Children) learn basic repairs. Those pursuing this occupation then typically receive training either from the Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) Sect, or from their Jael (Sect). All Sects have equipment which requires maintenance, so all Sects require Technicians. Technicians who are so inclined, and who demonstrate their skill and proficiency, can become Starship Engineers, a more advanced form of Technician.

This table provides information on which Jaeli (Sects) have members who are of this occupation.

No Technicians serve on Starships unless they are apprenticing to a currently-serving Bajao'ka Tinsae (Starship Engineer). As Starship Engineers receive additional training about the unique aspects of spaceborne repair and maintenance, in addition to other skills required of anyone who lives and works on ships, a Technician must train and earn the position of Starship Engineer before they may serve on a ship. The Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) Sect provides such training to those who seek it, and prudent Technicians also seek out apprenticeships with Starship Engineers to expand their skills.

The rank of Sasâvyjo'sa Journeyman is the earliest rank at which a Technician may apply to become a Starship Engineer.

No matter the Sect of the applicant, the Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) Sect determines whether a Technician may become a Starship Engineer. A Technician who has sufficient recorded accomplishments is likely to be accepted; one who has completed one or more apprenticeships is even more ideal.

Members in this occupation hold the following ranks;

• Sâvyjo (Junior Apprentice)
• Sâvyjo'sa (Apprentice)
• Sâvyjo'ka (Senior Apprentice)
• Sasâvyjo (Junior Journeyman)
• Sasâvyjo'sa (Journeyman)
• Sasâvyjo'ka (Senior Journeyman)
