Editing Occurrence Border (section)

=== The Crew ===
In the old days the Occurrence Border was manned by the usual sort of crew you find working for Rogue Traders, except worse. Aside from those who developed an inexplicable love for the horrible deathtrap of the ship, every crewman's greatest desire was to get OFF the Occurrence Border at the first available opportunity. Crew turnover was high to say the least, it was a constant battle of desertion and horrible ship-related death versus false-promise-based recruitment and press-ganging. Most of the crew was all too glad to leave when the ship was sold to the Inquisition.

When the Occurrence Border entered the Inquisition's service, a new crew was mustered from a wide selection of merchant and naval vessels. Aside from being generally better at their jobs, this new crew's view on the ship isn't that different from their more piratical predecessors, which is to say that they want to get off Mr. Border's Wild Ride. Unfortunately, deserting from the Inquisition is rather inadvisable to say the least, so for the most part the crew has adopted a rather stoic attitude and is focussed on living long enough to be transferred to another ship. Some crewmen are little more impatient, or have less faith that they'll ever be allowed to leave the ship, and have decided their only chance of escape is to OUTLIVE the Occurrence Border. There haven't exactly been any cases of sabotage, after all it's a suicidally bad idea to damage the ship you're currently riding on, but sometimes maintenance procedures are neglected and reports are misfiled....

The attitude of the crew towards their Inquisitorial passengers is one of disinterest. They have their own problems, and do not want any part of the Inquisition's. Similarly the crew will try to avoid the tech-priests, and have a tendency to take refuge in the Chain-of-Command when asked to do something they don't want to do. Exceptions to this rule are the armsmen who patrol the tainted section of the ship, and the medical staff.
