Basic Training is the training that all New Dusk Conclave soldiers undergo before receiving additional training for their job.

In YE 42, the introduction of operators required the standardization of the NDC's training protocols. Thusly, a new Basic Training regime was established.

The first two weeks of training is focused on education. Trainees are kept to a strict schedule to begin to impart military discipline. They are taught all of the basic information required to operate as a soldier and citizen within the NDC, including physics, military ranks, and strategies.

The next three weeks run the trainees through a variety of physical fitness and team-building exercises. Many of these take the form of friendly, yet competitive joint training competition. These exercises are designed to hone trainee's discipline and teamwork, as well as beginning firearms training with classroom lessons and range exercises.

The following, and final, two weeks of basic are primarily firearms and tactics training. Trainees learn how to use weapons in real-life scenarios, the basics on how to conduct operations with air support and armor support, and how to efficiently deal with difficult enemies or scenarios as part of a group.

These basic skills are the result of the seven weeks of training, which have molded trainees into effective soldiers and prepared them to further learn what their occupations require of them. These skills are a starting place for characters who have not yet undergone training for their occupation, and if there is skill overlap then occupation specific skills should be taken as more accurate to what a character would know.

• Fighting: Your character is both trained in hand-to-hand combat, and in the safe and effective operation of the basic assault rifle and pistol used by the New Dusk Conclave.
• Physical: Intense physical training has ensured that your character is very physically fit if they are not physically fit by default as with many synthetics. They are able to sustain long runs, climb obstacles swiftly, and crawl for long distances. Your character also maintains their own fitness through regular exercise.
• Teamwork: Your character is able to work easily within their unit, and is able to effectively work to solve problems together.
• Communication: Your character is familiar with the basic operating principles of radios and other simple forms of wireless communication.
