For each Terms of Education, the Player chooses between a desired Specialty Benefit or those Benefits open to all Education Specializations. (ie., if Player A chooses Rank 4 for their character's Terms of Education, then this would yield 4 Terms to be split up between the desired Benefits. Thus, Player A might have gone for 3 Terms of Aerospace Specialization at the Order of Cygnus, and 1 Term of Military Specialization. From the Aerospace Specialization Player A might use all 3 Terms towards a StarShip, which would yield 50 million credits worth of StarShip. From the Military Specialization Player A might use the 1 remaining Term towards 1 Extra Piece of Equipment, from those Benefits open to all Education Specializations.)

Education Benefit Definitions
Neutral Status: this is defined as most governments and organizations showing some degree of professional courtesy towards those with Neutral Status, on the grounds that they are assumed by the nature of their position not to be a potential threat to the 'status quo'. In other words, as in the example of a doctor entering a warzone, enemy troops would be less inclined to incarcerate and/or attack said person, on the grounds that the doctor would be assumed to be present solely to lend humanitarian aid. By contrast, journalists, while often still receiving Neutral Status, are often not harassed on the grounds that to do so would reflect badly in the media. A special case exists for that of Xenopaths; governments and organizations often show some degree of professional courtesy towards Xenopaths simply due to intimidation from the ties between a Xenopath and the Patrons. Note that in ALL situations listed above, Neutral Status is never an absolute; the actions made by said individual, or the details of the situation in which they are involved can cause Neutral Status to be ignored. (ie., if the doctor in the above situation were suspected of spying, etc.)
Xenopath Status: Trained in the FreeHolds, Xenopaths are recognized throughout Known Space as the most reputable diplomats in regards to settling disputes between disparate cultures. Their training encompasses the understanding and integration of alien thought processes, and the capacity for absolute objectivity.As well, they are the unofficial representatives of the FreeHolds. (and thereby, in a sense the Patrons...) A further avenue of their talents is that they are often hired to witness business and legal matters, for absolute documentation of verbal exchanges, etc. As their Psycorder Implants(qv.) will make them utterly truthful, their word is never to be questioned in the official matters of most Star Nations. Tools at the Xenopath's disposal include;
Psycorder Implant: Ala the Black Box in early planes and modern starships, this hyperspatial implant is activated by a Burchyll at legal proceedings to allow the implanted Xenopath to recount testimony in perfect, objective detail. Xenopaths are eligible for a Psycorder Implant after completing 4 terms at the Xenopathic Academy. As well, implants can be activated at will by the Xenopath for perfect recall of events or details from their experience that they wish to examine.
Nexus Initiated Edict: a quasi-legal Order, wherein a Xenopath, in the best interests of a species, planet or community, may declare martial law in the name of The FreeHolds. (and thus, in a sense the Patrons...) No world is actually required to obey said Edict, but failure to do so in the face of a Xenopath making such an Order, with justifiable cause, can bring that government to the attention of the Patrons, which few governments want. In the event however, that a Xenopath is found to have made such an Order without justifiable cause means immediate loss of all Xenopath status, and the full legal recourse of the involved government.
Entrepeneurial Wealth: Terms of Education in Private Enterprise/Gainful Employment determines monthly income -see Starting Money under Development for full details.
Legal Enforcement Powers: Player is a legal representative of their native region (range determined by Rank -see below) and can make lawful arrests, temporarily deputize individuals to assist in the completion of an operation, and commandeer local resources for reasonable useage in the completion of said operations.
Rank 1 yields jurisdiction within a town/village/outpost.
Rank 2 yields jurisdiction within a major city.
Rank 3 yields jurisdiction within a planetary nation.
Rank 4 yields jurisdiction over a planet.
Rank 5 yields jurisdiction throughout a star nation.
