An assassin requires flight experience and solid equipment as their targets are highly dangerous. The payout for taking down targets can be very rewarding, but never underestimate the enemy - their bounties are large for a reason.

The primary motivation of pirates is to plunder the [[Cargo Canister|cargo]] of their prey. Pirates use powerful weaponry and their fearsome reputations to encourage [[Trader|traders]] to hand over their goods. They can employ [[Limpet Controller/Hatch Breaker|hatch-breaker limpets]] which, when fired at an un-shielded target, will latch onto the [[Cargo Hatch|cargo hatch]] and extract [[Cargo Canister|cargo canisters]]. Pirate also loot [[Settlement|settlements]] for valuable items. Pirates are criminals so they live in anarchy systems.  

The Exobiologist discovers and catalogues alien lifeforms. Exobiology is performed [[On Foot|on foot]] with a [[Genetic Sampler]] to collect samples from alien flora and fauna. The collected samples can be sold to [[Vista Genomics]]. If commanders identify an unknown [[species]] then Vista Genomics will credit them with the discovery.

A salvager recovers valuable items such as [[commodities]], [[data]] and [[materials]]. These are found in space, at salvageable wrecks or on celestial bodies (planets, moons). Whether retrieving an item is legal or not can be seen by the GUI text that appears when targeting it - either "Legal Salvage" or "Illegal [[Salvage]]".

=== Squadrons ===

{{main|Squadrons}}

A squadron is a player-run organization. Members can setup a hierarchy with ranks. Squadron leaders can set objectives and custom activities like Anti-Xeno Activists, Bounty Hunters, Explorers, Faction Supporters, Humanitarian Aid Providers, Pirates, Power Supporters, Traders and Miners. The playstyles can be PvP, PvE or roleplay. Each squadron can support a [[:Category:Minor Factions|Minor Faction]] or a [[Power]]. The [[Javelin-Class Carrier]] has a bank for [[credits]], commodities, personal items, goods, assets and [[ships]].  

Smugglers are similar to traders except that they sell illegal goods on the [[Black Market|black market]]. Smugglers must use stealth, cunning and special equipment to outwit the security forces and sometimes military authorities to sell their goods at a profit while escaping fines and a criminal record. Smugglers can also be a special class of couriers, where the player is asked to transport forbidden items.

Trading is the act of buying [[commodities]] at a low price and selling at a higher price. The [[Galaxy Map]] can help traders determine profitable trade routes by providing purchasable market data, displaying NPC trade routes and economy types. More profits are made during community goals and gold rushes. Hauling cargo around the galaxy attracts pirates.

=== Passenger Liner Pilot ===

{{main|Passenger Liner}}

Passenger Liner Pilot involves transporting paying passengers to destinations. Passenger contracts operate in a similar manner to [[Mission Board|mission board]] contracts. Ships equipped with [[Passenger Cabin]]s may pick up passengers in the Passenger Lounge at many [[Station|stations]] and [[Surface Port|surface ports]]. There are two types of passenger contracts: VIP and Bulk.

Search and Rescue (SAR) provide 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. You can also rescue stranded pilots in space or repair the hulls of combat ships in battle.
