In the gleaming halls of Accord logistical hubs, the Quartermaster's Aide is a familiar sight—uniformed in crisp white-and-gold fatigues, datapad in hand, inventory codes memorized like sacred scripture. These initiates are the backbone of Accord field operations, ensuring that every bolt, ration pack, and energy cell reaches its destination on time and in regulation order. They take pride in efficiency, find comfort in checklists, and view a well-stocked armory as a work of art.
Quartermaster’s Aide Tradesperson 1
A Quartermaster's Aide rarely sees direct combat, but their work saves lives. When a squad needs emergency supplies mid-mission, when a critical component must be sourced from a reluctant vendor, or when field gear requires rapid calibration, the Aide steps forward with quiet competence. They are trained to navigate Accord bureaucracy as easily as a pilot navigates Rift-space—knowing which forms to file, which codes to invoke, and which favors to call in.
For those who earn their respect, an Aide becomes an invaluable ally: a living directory of Accord resources, a voice that can cut through red tape, and a steady hand in the chaos of mission logistics.
