| Verpine |  |
| As is to be expected, the vast majority of the Verpine who have left the Roche asteroid field have found employment as starship technicians, an area in which they are generally extremely successful. The single drawback to the employment of a Verpine technician lies in the fact that it will often, if not always, be involved in making unauthorized "improvements" to the equipment being maintained. While these improvements are often quite useful, they sometimes hold unpleasant surprises. (Unsatisfied customers will occasionally make accusations of sabotage regarding the effects of these surprises, but most experienced space travelers are well aware of the risks involved in employing the Verpine.)
Because of this unreliabilty, the Empire, which places a premium on dependability, has chosen not to avail itself of the skills of the Verpine. However, the private sector, much more foolhardy than the Empire, continues to invest heavily in ships constructed in the Roche asteroid field. The Verpine are also found, though less often, in positions involving negotiation and arbitration, where their experiences with the communal decision making of the hive provides for them a paradigm which they can use to assist other beings in the resolution of their conflicts. | |

| Body Armor: | The Verpine's chitinous covering acts as an armor providing +1D protection against physical attacks. | |
| Microscopic Sight: | The Verpine receive a +1D bonus to their searchskill when looking for small objects because of their ability to see microscopic details with their highly evolved eyes. | |
| Organic Telecommunication: | Because Verpine can send and receive radio waves through their antenna, they have the ability to communicate with other Verpine and with specially tuned comlinks. The range of this ability is extremely limited for individuals (1 km) but greatly increases when in the hive (which covers the entire Roche asteroid field). | |
