THE JENQUAI

The descendents of the first deep-space exploration expedition, the Jenquai,

have an almost religious passion for seeking knowledge and exploring the

farthest reaches of space.

EXPLORER (PURE EXPLORER)

The consummate Explorer and prospector of rare minerals, this character

type is considered the most self-sufficient of all the professions. Although

weak in combat, Explorers can travel undetected by using their Cloak skill

and their ability to Jumpstart derelict comrades makes them valuable

members of any group.

DEFENDER (EXPLORER-WARRIOR)

Stealth and evasion are the weapons of choice for the Defender. Known for

hit-and-run tactics in combat, Defenders will cloak to approach an enemy

unseen, then use their Summon skill to draw its hapless victim from the

safety of its allies.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR CHARACTER

Once you’ve selected a profession, you can customize your character’s

appearance. Each profession has its own general style, and you’ll be able to

choose your gender, customize your height and weight, and pick from a wide

variety of clothing, hairstyles, and facial details – even tattoos!

CUSTOMIZING YOUR STARSHIP

After you’ve adjusted your character’s appearance, it’s time to customize

your starship. You’ll be logging many flight hours during your adventures,

so be sure to customize your ship just the way you like it!



Each starship starts with a base shape particular to your character’s

profession, and from there may have its hull, wings, engine, and other

pieces customized. You may choose from a variety of shapes and colors,

painting your ship with glossy, flat, or metallic shades. Once you’ve chosen

your ship’s shape and colors, you are able to apply a decal and name.



As you progress in your Earth & Beyond career, your starships hull grows

with you, becoming bigger and more powerful. You receive your first

upgrade after completing your initial series of missions inside the game.

>>TIP:

Powerful guilds (groups of players with common interests) can

sometimes obtain a special, custom decal to place on their

starships. Look for details at www.earthandbeyond.com
