Be In Charge, And Don't Crash

Being a cargo ship getting to where we're meant to be going can be a pretty important point. The pilot is the one to get that job done. Navigation, docking, warp speed, are all in your hands; the captain says go and the pilot pushes the button. You've been to flight school, you know what all the little lights on the console mean, and when it comes to a creative course plotting you know where to head. It's slow steady work that can take a few days to get from one place to another, even a few weeks. You'll be sitting on your backside for hours on end watching navigational read outs. A good ship is your playground, and the Bridge is your home, gazing out at the space, watching for whatever it is that the galaxy can throw at you. But this is a cargo ship, flying around at warp 9.9 isn't going to happen.
