I am a civilian from Microtech.
There's not much else to say, my job ? Most of them.
The boys and me are scavenging wrecks, I take the components that are still working and use them to Repair, Rearm and Refuel.
When the damage on your ship is too bad I'll find a way to drag you to a station, or drag a station to you. I can also do some escorting.
