The '''Search and Rescue''' [[Careers|career]] concerns providing assistance in emergency situations. Certain Legal Salvage items, such as escape pods (occupied or damaged), "black box" flight recorders, and personal effects, can be turned in to a station's [[Search and Rescue Agent]] contact for a reward. [[Station#Damaged State|Damaged stations]] offer passenger missions to evacuate refugees to the nearest [[Rescue Vessel]], and Rescue Vessels offer missions to salvage items from inside damaged stations. [[Search and Rescue Patrol]]s offer fuel to travelers in need, and [[Rescue Team]] ships search for survivors at crisis-stricken areas and warzones.

You can also help a stranded [[pilot]] in deep space by refueling their [[Ships|ship]], repairing the [[Hull Integrity|hull]] or restoring the [[Shield Generator|shields]].

As soon as you're fully loaded, launch. You'll probably need to fire a heat sink on your way out, but as soon as you're clear of the station, chart a course for the rescue ship. It's only 5Mm away, which means you won't even have to slow down before dropping out of [[supercruise]]!

Land at the rescue ship, refuel, repair, and reload your heat sinks, and get ready to go again.

You should be making about 10k per head for evacuations, meaning that, for a full Type-6, you should be getting 500k credits per round trip (which takes less than 10 minutes) and closer to 2 million credits per trip in an Anaconda.

=== Tools ===
You can support a stranded [[pilot]] or damaged [[Ships|ship]] with:
* [[Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller|Fuel Transfer Limpets]] for refuels
* [[Repair Limpet Controller|Repair Limpets]] for hull repairs
* [[Beam Laser|Beam Lasers]] engineered with [[Regeneration Sequence]] to restore [[Shield Generator|shields]].
=== Rescue ===
Many [[Explorer|explorers]] find themselves in need of [[fuel]] or repairs while wandering the far reaches of the [[galaxy]].
=== Combat support ===
[[Combat]] ships benefit from [[Hull Integrity|hull]] repairs during and after a battle. In [[AX Conflict Zone|AX Conflict zones]] you can support pilots with [[Limpet Controller/Decontamination|Decontamination limpets]] to remove caustic chemicals off a [[ship]]'s hull. You do not engage in direct combat, because support ships are not optimized for that.
=== Reward ===
These activities do not guarantee any monetary reward, but it can be an entertaining and virtuous pursuit.
== Related squadrons ==
Several [[squadrons]] have volunteers who are dedicated to rescue pilots in deep space such as:
* [[Fuel Rats]] - provide fuel to pilots in need
* [[Hull Seals]] - premier hull repair specialists for ships and vehicles
