Activity Requirements[edit]

Level 0

Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

Two weeks training with trainers on using diplomacy to achieve your goals over hostility. You mus write a thousand word+ story where you will have to negotiate with a member of a native species for the release of one of your squad mates. You may choose the simulated species/reasons for capture.

In the field sometimes you have to use empathy and not your blaster to get out of a situation alive. Many deaths would have been saved if soldiers in the field had been prepared to diffuse a situation with a few words and appropriate body language. Sometimes a gesture can say a lot, not every native population speaks basic you know! I've heard of a Clone Commando who got his unit killed because he didn't know that a typical palm down wave to lower weapons was a fierce insult on Devaron!
