Pilot GuildEdit

The Pilot Guild opperates in Terran and Liaden Space. They issue and update Pilot Guild Licences. Most reputable pilots are Guild members.

Quote form the By-laws of the Pilots Guild: "There shall be four levels of pilot acknowledged by the Guild. The base level, or Third Class, shall be qualified for work within system and orbit, operating ships not above Class B. Mid-level, or Second Class, shall be qualified to lift any ship to Class AA within system and orbit. A pilot holding a First Class license shall be competent in accomplishing the Jump into and out of hyperspace. Master Pilot is one able to perform all aspects of piloting with excellence. This grade may undertake to train and test any of the lower three levels. For the purposes of these by-laws, Scout-trained pilots shall be understood to hold a license equal to Master Pilot." ^[3]
