Wealth Bonus indicates folks who aren't getting everything taken care of by Starfleet or the Romulan Star Navy.  You would also let it kick in if the character had left Starfleet in a Wesley Crusher Moment.  The main point of using Occupations instead of the more common "Starship Officer Class" concept is to allow a character described as Rear Admiral Dash Ramrod, Charismatic5/Tough4/Dreadnought2 and still be a Starfleet character.  More diverse characters that way! Command OfficerThe command division is the corps of officers within Starfleet who specialize in command and control functions on starbases, aboard starships, and at Starfleet Command. Members of the command division are trained in leadership and have tactical training allowing them to decisively take action in organizing and mobilizing Starfleet crews to perform missions. Command officers include most all of the admiralty, captains, executive officers, adjutants, pilots and flight controller (or helmsman). Command division personnel also fill posts as tactical officers and sometimes in ordinance departments.  Most interstellar nations’ fleets have a similar officer’s corps.   Prerequisite: Age 23+Skills: Choose 4 of the following skills as permanent class skills.  If a skill you select is already a class skill, you gain a +1 competence bonus on checks using that skill.

They often do most of the “grunt work” that is involved in keeping a ship or space station up and running. They are expected to tackle all the problems that drain the ship’s resources or lower its efficiency.Prerequisite: Age 23+Skills: Choose 4 of the following skills as permanent class skills.  If a skill you select is already a class skill, you gain a +1 competence bonus on checks using that skill.

In addition, this agency is responsible for security clearances of all Starfleet/UFP personnel.Prerequisite: Age 22+Skills: Choose 4 of the following skills as permanent class skills.  If a skill you select is already a class skill, you gain a +1 competence bonus on checks using that skill.
