	In the 25th century, when megacorporations dominate the Orion Spur, living is not something one can do for free. While some can eke out a meager existence on frontier worlds where money is not needed to provide for oneself, in civilized space megacorporations squeeze everything they can out of the people, charging for as much as they can. This includes their own employees, and even on top-of-the-line ships, like the SCCV Horizon, very few things come for free to the people who work aboard. This page is designed to show how much the employees aboard the Horizon are paid, and how much they need to spend to do things as a percentage of their income, instead of how much actual credits they get paid, though it is still possible to calculate that.

== Other adjustments ==
This includes things that can either add or subtract the value of a character's salaries and wages, such as a character's familial wealth, should they be supported by them, or species.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

== Wants and Needs ==
A character's salaries and wages are used to fulfil their wants and needs. This can range from spending a significant amount of their income on housing, entertainment, and even buying tickets to travel the Orion Spur through ferries and whatnot. Similarly to the above, it ranges on a numerical scale. This is on a monthly basis and does not need additional calculations. Obviously this is not an exhaustive list of all the things your character may wish to purchase, so if an item you think your character would have is not on this list, either find the nearest comparable item and make up a believable number.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

=== Housing ===

==== SCCV Horizon ====

Dormitory Room on the SCCV Horizon: Free

Cubicle room on the SCCV Horizon: -6

Condominium room on the SCCV Horizon: -12

Corpat or Family Corpat on the SCCV Horizon: -25 standard, -10 for Command Staff, free for Captain.

==== Apartments ====
Low-end apartment: -3

Mid-end apartment: -5

High-end apartment: -10

==== Houses ====
Low-end house: -5

Mid-end house: -8

High-end house: -15

=== Automobiles ===
While an automobile is of no use in space, many characters may wish to own one that they keep on a planet, where their real house is. As this is an automobile, these prices are one-time purchases. Maintenance is also covered in this category.

==== Motorcycles ====

Low-end motorcycle: -4

Mid-end motorcycle: -7

High-end motorcycle: -10

==== Cars ====

Low-end car: -5

Mid-end car: -8

High-end car: -12

Medium damage crash/Medium issue: -8

High damage crash/Bad issue: Minus The original price of the automobile

=== Diet ===

Pauper's diet: -2

Commoner's diet: -3

Aristocrat's diet: -7

=== Charging ===
Something only Positronic crew have to deal with is charging. Most corporations will provide charging for free to owned IPCs, adding it to the total they need to work off before freedom. Un-owned IPCs have to pay for their own charging on a monthly basis, the amount they require varies on the IPCs level of activity, such as running. Un-owned IPCs in command do not get a discount.

Low Activity: -2

Medium Activity: -3

High Activity: -5

=== Entertainment ===
Finding Entertainment aboard the SCCV Horizon is a challenge. However, the ship's bar, kitchen, and opportunities during shore leave give some entertainment to the crew, of which almost none is free.

One outing a week: -1

Two to three outings a week: -2

Four to five outings a week: -3

Six to seven outings a week: -4

Eight or more outings a week: -6

=== Consumer Electronics ===
As with automobiles, these numbers are one-time costs.

Low-quality computer/gaming console: -2

Standard-quality computer/gaming console: -3

High-quality computer/gaming console: -5

Standard Tablets and Laptops: -2

Small TV: -1

Medium TV: -1.5

Large TV: -2

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

== Examples ==
This includes examples and a guideline of sorts on how to calculate the class of your character.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

=== Maria ===

Maria is a Chef and moonlights as a Bartender aboard the SCCV Horizon. She is an IPC Shell. She is self-owned.

Maria's combined income is '''eight''' points for a week. She is neither well-off nor underpaid, so does not have any additions or subtractions on that front.

She lives in a dormitory aboard the Horizon, deducting '''zero''' points.

Due to Maria being an IPC, she is paid less than her organic counterparts. This deducts '''two''' points.

Maria does not eat, but is a fairly active IPC working two separate jobs, charging herself semi-frequently, and deducting '''three''' points.

Maria goes out once a week, often to the local Trinary Perfection Church of whichever region the Horizon finds itself in, and deducts '''one''' point.

As Maria works two jobs that both fall below the tax bracket, she is not deducted any points.

As a poor self-owned IPC, the Trinary Perfection gives her a little money each month, adding '''one''' point.

Recently Maria bought a small TV for her dormitory to watch her favorite shows on, deducting '''one''' point.

Maria is left with '''two''' point this month, which she can either spend or save as she sees fit.

=== Oleg El-Amin ===

Oleg El-Amin is a miner aboard the SCCV. He is a Zhan-Khazan Tajara.

Oleg's income for the month is '''twenty''' points. He is underpaid, offered a low contract by Orion, and therefore he has been deducted '''three''' points (20 x 0.85 = 17) from his gross personal income.

Due to Oleg being a Zhan-Khazan Tajara, he is paid less than his Human and Skrell peers. This deducts '''one''' point.

He rents a low-end apartment where his wife and son live in Little Adhomai (District 6), and as the district is a horrible ghetto, rent is incredibly cheap, deducting '''one''' point.

Aboard the Horizon, Oleg lives in a dormitory, deducting '''zero''' points.

He recently bought a mid-end car for his wife's birthday, deducting '''three''' points.

Oleg is considered quite overweight compared to his peers. It is mostly due to his extreme diet, where while he does not eat expensive food, he eats a lot, which deducts a further '''four''' points.

Additionally, Oleg is fond of the drink. He frequents the bar aboard the SCCV Horizon and gambles online. This leads to a deduction of '''four''' points.

Oleg's job falls within the first tax bracket, deducting '''three''' points.

Oleg is left with '''two''' points this month, which he can spend or save as he sees fit.
