9.1.11.1 THE COMMANDER SPECIALIZATION (Common)
The Commander sits in the command chair and is responsible for piloting the
aethercraft. This is a vital role. Aethercraft can survive without Empaths or
Combateers, but no aethership can launch or steer without a pilot. Because
Commanders are responsible for movement and positioning, on fully staffed
ships they are generally the ones to coordinate the rest of the crew. During
aethercombat, Commanders have skills in evading and maneuvering their ships.
