Background
Your Pilot's Background is where they came from before they joined the Union Crawler. They may have been a wastelander, a member of the corpos, a wanderer, or even a born salvager. If a Pilot takes an action that aligns with their Background they may re-roll the dice on the action, accepting the second result. This Ability can be used once. A Pilot regains the use of this Ability following Downtime.
