| To Wired Rovers skill is everything (well, maybe that and their custom ship components). Their hierarchy of leaders, squadron commanders, and crew all revolves around competitions of skill and brilliance. In order to better hone their skills many pilots have to be born and bred in space as most Freespacers are, but deviate from the norm by making it common practice to live in microgravity. This allows them to train their spatial awareness and motion prediction capabilities to an almost instinctive point, not unlike the way terrestrial species instinctively know how to keep their balance when standing upright. Furthermore all this is supplemented with biological modifications prevent space sickness and enhance high-G maneuvers, as well as neural interface upgrades to allow them to reduce their piloting response times. Finally, most pilots often end up logging a few hundred hours of simulator time before they will even be considered by the more prestigious squadrons. | To Wired Rovers skill is everything (well, maybe that and their custom ship components).

| One of the consequences of the freedom-loving and anarchistic background of the Free State is that their own forces are stubbornly independent. Disagreements over tactics and goals common enough to make mounting any large-scale offensives difficult at best, which prevents the Wired Rovers from becoming a much more serious threat than just marauders. The few times the four Mothership groups do work together, it will usually be out of the promise of a small fortune or a common threat. | One of the consequences of the freedom-loving and anarchistic background of the Free State is that their own forces are stubbornly independent.

| The Wired Rovers, believing in individual skill above all else, have little interesting in large-scale warfare.
