Those involved in the conflict between the stars often find the ability to pilot a starship paramount. Some use starships to travel to distant planets and explore long- lost regions of space. Others fly in swift snubfighters or even heavily armed patrol boats, fighting with laser cannons and torpedoes in the cold void. Whether a crew is attempting to bring down enemy fighters or slip past a blockade undetected, its success or failure most often depends upon the person at the helm.
