The Acolyte, Adept and ROM agent are easy enough to do as generic members of the order.  The Precentor, though...  How would you feel about an Explorer Corps Precentor on their way through the system?  Or do you want Precentor Solaris?

I think Precentor Solaris would be more useful. I imagine a real politically savvy individual who plays the intrigue and the fact that every House is on S7

Sorry for the delay... I got distracted by HBS.  The Acolyte and Adept are done, and I'm working on the Precentor.  I should be able to knock them out today...

Despite being the middle of a fight with a Bull Shark, I managed to knock out the Precentor.  Please let me know what you think! :)

Quick summaries of the three ComStar personnel:

All three are from Terra, Solaris being one of those postings only the most trusted members are sent to.

Acolyte: As "Blue Collar" as ComStar gets!  An actual HPG Technician, with High School, Trade School and ComStar Service for modules.

Adept: A lower-level administrator, with typical White Collar upbringing, Prep School, University, ComStar Service, and another rotation (Civilian Job) under their belt before reporting to Solaris.

Precentor Solaris: Of COURSE they're a MechWarrior!  Who else would you send there?  They were a vanilla track Adept but volunteered for ComGuard service when that went public.  After a Tour of Duty on the front line, returned to a ComStar administrative job, and was selected as Precentor Solaris over four years ago.  They've made quite a splash since then and no few enemies as a result, in the Word of Blake and otherwise...

I stuck with v4.9 of my spreadsheet, since that's where I started this project, and it doesn't have enough fan material to banish this post to the Fan Rules forum.  Also, feel free to ignore MechWarrior Sparks, his Medic, and AsTechs.  I put them in this file because they're Solaris denizens.  They're detailed in the Non-Canon Units forum, if you're interested... ;)

Oh, these are great! Thanks! Heh, love that the Precentor is both a gambler AND a smoker!  ;D

Glad you like them!  The Precentor doesn't have to smoke, though... it could be chewing tobacco, or those pouch thingies... ;)
