Survival

The environment on Aetlas is horrible to say the least. It never rains and their is no standing water. Food is hard to find and most life has evolved to defend itself, aggressively.

Those that live on the Space Station orbiting the planet, face shortages as well. Space is cold and unforgiving. Water is in short supply but as long as there is power, there is food.

Either way players have a cost of living, which affects your character as listed below. Also if you have no place to live, you can't store extra gear and supplies; forced to carry everything you own.

Destitute (no cost) you have no shelter, living in the alleys or gutters and your lucky if you eat. You have no Stamina or Resolve Points, or storage.

Poor (25 credits a week) you have a somewhat safe place to stay but barely enough food to survive. You have no Resolve Points and no storage.

Tennant (200 credits a week) you are renting a very small private place and get a food stipend. You have no penalties and can store 200 lbs of gear.
