This page needs revising! The following page is out of date and/or needs to be revised. If the page's guide needs revision [complain about it on discord]. The revision reason is: "Unfinished, needs rest of the EE specific jobs." Marked by: "ARandomHunter (talk) 13:07, March 13, 2025 (UTC)"

NOTE: As of around 3/15/2025, some job & department names have been changed. As an example: Captain is now Consul. This is just here so new players who have only played SS14 understand why there isn't a Quartermaster but there is a Portmaster. If you don't know what a "Praetor" is, the recommendation is: just deal with it, figure it out, and throw that muscle memory in the trash.
