| Biology | A character who is a botanist and a zoologist can use these skills as a foundation for becoming a biologist (at least two ranks in each is required). A Biology skill allows for the integration of the two sciences and is an introductory skill of other skills, such as Exobiology and Analyzing Ecosystems. Furthermore, a biologist will be able to discern information in the following areas from a specimen: organ functions, effects of glands and hormones, chemical makeup, vitamins and proteins, life | |
| Bionics | A surgeon with this skill can attach a bionic part to a living organism. The most common uses of bionics are as replacements for lost limbs or organs.

General knowledge skill roll for this skill is equal to (rank x 10) + (Education x 3). | |

| Botany | A character with this skill is schooled in the science of plants, their life, structure, growth, classification, etc. Only a character with Botany can name a new plant life form or use a Flora-CAS to analyze a botanical sample. A successful Botany analysis indicates the type of plant the sample is and whether it is edible or poisonous.
