+ | //Most beginning heroes don't actually hold ambassador rank,-they're professional Foreign Service types who serve as assistants to a politically appointed ambassador, or consuls who serve as unofficial representatives to another nation. While many corporations are large enough to maintain diplomatic relations with other powers, most ambassadors in the [[the_verge|Verge]] are government representatives. They represent the interests of one of the [[the_stellar_nations|stellar nations]] as they seek to reestablish their nation's power and influence in the Verge, or they're native Vergers cautiously negotiating their future status with the [[galactic_concord|Concord]] and its member states. Independent space stations of importance, such as Darkhold in Tendril, also have their own ambassadors. A hero never simply becomes the ambassador who speaks for her government or corporation. Instead, she's assigned small tasks in which she can demonstrate her diplomatic skills. These can range from closing an important grain shipment deal to negotiating the end of a bloody civil war (which would probably grant an immediate promotion to full ambassador). Social status is a good way to measure how fast an ambassador moves up through the ranks of her government.// | ||

+ | //**In the Verge:** Human diplomats in the Verge typically choose a stellar nation or a Verge system as their native culture of choice. [[fraal_species|Fraal]], [[sesheyan_species|sesheyan]], [[t_sa_species|t'sa]], or [[mechalus_species|mechalus]] are the most likely alien cultures in which a hero might specialize—although there are a handful of system—contained sentient species native to this region of space.// | ||

Skilled diplomats and dignitaries armed with a deep understanding of politics and a heightened awareness of the importance of compromise, Ambassadors can deftly mediate disputes among individuals, organizations, nations, or worlds divided by opposing ideologies, philosophies, and politics. They bring keen perception and insight to the table, striving to advance their employers' agendas without compromising their own integrity or betraying the trust placed in them as representatives of factions, worlds, and stellar nations. As the authorized representative of her faction, world, or stellar nation, the Ambassador is entitled to privileges beyond the rights of ordinary people. These privileges apply only when the Ambassador's allegiance to a faction, world, or stellar nation is recognized. | Skilled diplomats and dignitaries armed with a deep understanding of politics and a heightened awareness of the importance of compromise, Ambassadors can deftly mediate disputes among individuals, organizations, nations, or worlds divided by opposing ideologies, philosophies, and politics.
