Spacer (Earth-2042)



"Drink it down, boys, for the black of space is cold. Drink it down, boys, for it's always better to live hard and die young than live not and die old."

- Spacer saying

Spacer, or mariner, is a slang term that refer to those who make their livings flying through space, including pilots and crew. Most spacers run freight, charter, or information collection operations, although many work or moonlight as mercenaries, bounty hunters, and smugglers. Some are slipspace explorers. Other slang terms for "spacer" include star-hopper (which became famously attached to a group of spacers on Aduba-3), star-jumper, star-rover, and planet-jumper. The term is usually used only to describe civilians within spacefaring professions.
