As a Trainee Requisition Operative, you will manoeuvre your space-pod through beautiful and dynamic interplanetary crash sites. You will be required to scavenge for valuable resources from dubious wreckage left behind by large scale battles or stashed away in minefields. However, you will not be the only one retrieving goods. Competitors and wandering scavengers are sure to be nearby, so SSC expects you to fight for survival* in these rugged environments engulfed by the unknown. Do not worry though, you will be accompanied by the pod’s enthusiastic, but amoral AI companion who will track your every movement for us. They will report on your performance and providing valuable advice to help you become the most productive SSC employee you can be! *ssᴄ ɪs ɴᴏᴛ ᴡɪʟʟɪɴɢ ᴏʀ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴘʀᴏᴠɪᴅᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋᴜᴘ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛ ᴏғ sᴘᴀᴄᴇ ᴄᴏᴍʙᴀᴛ. ғɪʀᴇғɪɢʜᴛs ᴀʀᴇ ᴇɴᴛᴇʀᴇᴅ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴀᴛ ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ ᴏᴘᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ's ᴏᴡɴ ʀɪsᴋ.


Your primary responsibilities will involve making yourself available at a moment's notice, to navigate through wreckage and asteroids in search of valuable assets for SSC. An allowance of no more than one second per day is given to marvel at the beautiful colour palettes of space; your pay will be docked on a per-second basis after this point. You will be expected to learn to pilot your Collection Pod whilst on the job, following the minimal possible training required under intergalactic law. Not to worry, though-the intuitive and responsive motion control scheme is very easy to pick up, you’ll be fine! You will be required to navigate the complex inner workings of the galaxy's factions and take on as many jobs as possible to progress your career within Space Salvage Corporation! We are firm believers in our 0-hour contract policy, so any time you’re not out there salvaging, is a waste of yours and the company's time! Your loyalty and work will be rewarded by a small, but non-negotiable salary which you can use to upgrade your Collection Pod. Always remember the company motto: in space, no-one can hear you clean!
