Officer Status
Several of the below OCC's start characters at enlisted, NCO (Non-Commisioned Officers: Privates, Corporals, etc,) or SNCO (Senior Non-Commisioned Officers: Sergeants, Warrant Officers, etc,) ranks, however your PC's colleagues may well be Officers and you may wish to be one as well. The minimum amount of time it takes to become an Officer is one year at the UN Armed Forces Officers Academy. This is for Infantry/Marine characters, however any other character will have to extend their training time by 6 months to reflect the Officer training they will receive. When they graduate they will be a 2nd Lieutenant, or if they are Navy/Spacy they will an Ensign.
To start as an Officer if your OCC does not start you as one you must have the following. An IQ 10 and one mental or physical attribute of 14 or above. Add 6 months to the training time for Officer Training to the OCC Training Time.
Racial Background
Below is a chart detailing the available races to play within the UN Armed Forces. You can either roll to get your character's race or you can decide which one you want to play. There is no discrimination within the UN, so no matter what race you are you will not find yourself blocked from a particular OCC. However I should stress that Zolanites are few and far between.
01-40 - Earth Native, 100% human
41-60 - Half Zentraedi,(Zentraedi Mother)+2d6 SDC, +1D4 to PP & Spd bonuses

Half Zentraedi can (if the dateline permits) be exchanged for Quarter Zentraedi, which the bonuses of:
Quarter Zentraedi,(Zentraedi GrandMother) +1d6 SDC, +1D3 to PP & Spd bonuses
Quarter Zentraedi,(Zentraedi GrandFather) +5 SDC, +1D3 to PS & PE bonuses
Any further generations are considered to be genetically human as far as attributes are concerned, however they can still get the whole range of skin and hair colours that Zentraedi and humans have.
