CAREER TRACK: THETA CLASS

DOA OPERATIVE, THETA CLASS
The Daughters Of Artemis' Theta Class operatives are those most of Savoy Space is familiar with. They are the gunwomen who most mercenary purchases pay for. Like all members of the Daughters of Artemis who see planetary tours, Theta Class operatives go through graduate-or-die training on one of several orbital ring stations. 
Theta Class ops often do all sorts of morally unsound work, but the cost for backing out once enlisted is just as grim.

MISHAP CHART

1. You do not remember what happened to you; there is a gap in your memory you cannot explain and that actively avoids your focus.
2. You are forced out due to a rival gaining the upper hand over you. Gain an Enemy.
3. You are heavily injured during an ambush. Roll on the Injury table and take half the credits of your benefits from a muster roll.
4. During a routine procedure on a world your unit was paid to fight on, your unit was ambushed and all but you were killed. You were left alive as a warning to the DoA, and sent back after some time in captivity. You are forced to quit, but you may roll twice on the benefits roll for this term, and you automatically join the civilian career.
5. You discover that you are not immune to torture. You either lose an eye, an ear, or up to three fingers, but when you are recovered the DoA covers your medical debt for this term.
6. You discover something you never should have discovered, and the secret puts you in danger. Roll SOC 8. If you succeed, you are merely drummed out of the Daughters of Artemis and given bribe money to keep quiet; take CR 2500 as a result of the bribery. If you fail, you are shipped off to either the Prisoner or Experiment careers.
