Duros

The Duros are one of the most respected races in the galaxy as they are the reason that space travel is even plausible. They created the first hyperdrive, followed by the warpdrive. Ever so humble, they spread across the galaxy, giving many races the secret to fast space travel. It's really too bad they gave it to all the shitty races too.

Many say that the Duros were destined to discover the equations for space travel, as their brains are almost perfectly designed to allow incredible complex thinking when dealing with any kind of space travel. A Duros once engaged in some drinking and afternoon fun, inadvertently inventing the fastest known way to travel through space: the improbability drive.

Starship Intuition
Duros are, by their nature, extremely skilled starship pilots and navigators. When a Duros character is generated, 1D (no more) may be placed in the following skills, for which the character receives 2D of ability: archaic starship piloting, astrogation, capital ship gunnery, capital ship shields, sensors, space transports, starfighter piloting, starship gunnery, and starship shields. This bonus also applies to any specializations. If the character wishes to have more than 2D in the skill listed, then the skill costs are normal from there on.

Space Affinity
Duros have learned how things in space are placed, and have a basic intuition on where stuff is while in space. They gain a +2D to Perception-based checks if it's looking for something in space.
