With as much chaos as the station will have to endure during a round, it is only natural that the station will get a little bit messy, and with nobody to clean it up, that only causes the rest of the crew to become even more unruly as a result. Naturally, the station employs janitors to clean up this mess before the chaos goes out of hand, because a clean station is a productive station, and the janitor will make damned sure that this job gets done.

The janitor job is frequently noted to be one of the least vital jobs on the station due to keeping things clean being a secondary task when compared to keeping the station intact and running, and the janitor doesn't exactly have much in terms of access beyond the custodial closet and maitenance, but due to what their job generally entails, they extremely frequently get let into places where they shouldn't be solely because the department in question needs cleaning.

The trustworthy clown of the station, whose primary duty aboard the station is to raise morale and bring a smile to people's faces. They technically do not fulfill any practical use aboard the station, and because of this combined with their generally non-essential duty of being an entertainer, their general reception amongst the crew can be anything ranging from warmhearted friendliness to flat-out loathed depending on how they perform their duties. Generally often considered troublemakers, like the assistants, but with the benefit of pranking and joking actually being part of their assigned duties aboard the station.

The silent entertainer of the station, the mime is the other entertainer role of the station. Like the clown, the mime doesn't have an essential function aboard the station to fulfill, rather, they are also there to entertain the crew. In contrast to the clown, however, the mime is generally less polarizing aboard the station, and generally avoid getting into trouble as much due to their method of entertainment being of a more subtle and distinguished nature than that of the clown.

* TheVoiceless: Mimes typically will never break their oath of silence unless they absolutely have to, preferring instead to use gestures and physical acting to get their points across to their listeners.
* YourMimeMakesItReal: Of a sort. As long as the mimes keep their oath of silence for enough time, they can freely place force walls blocking off access to a tile directly in front of them for a limited time.

The most default antagonist role you can get assigned, the traitor is a sleeper agent injected into the Nanotrasen crew by the Syndicate to fulfill their dirty work. While mostly still restricted to the limitations of their station jobs, they also get the ability to purchase traitor-exclusive items to accomplish their objectives, whether it be to have somebody assassinated, steal valuables from the station, martyr yourself for the syndicate, or to hijack the escape shuttle.
* ISurrenderSuckers: Often used as a last resort of a desperate traitor who's been caught red-handed, letting yourself get arrested and taken to the brig, only for them to decide that the best way to end it is by TakingYouWithMe.
* TheMole: Almost anybody in the crew can be a traitor deep undercover, down from the lowly assistant, to one of the doctors of the medical staff, a scientist, engineer or even the clown. And they *will* exploit the benefits of their job to achieve their goals.
* RedRightHand: A lot of the less conspicuous traitor items definitely look way too obvious to ignore for the other crew, so your best bet is to hide these items if possible when you're not using them.

[[folder:Security Officer]]
The base security force on the station. In charge of keeping order amongst the crew and respond to reports of criminal activity around the station, and the first line of defense against anything wanting to undermine the station and its crewmembers. Often highly incompetent and generally needs direction from the Head of Security in order to get their jobs done, but once they do get their job done properly, you can expect whatever is threatening the station to have a much harder time.
* BadCopIncompetentCop: Usually happens within their ranks, whenever a security offer isn't blatantly just bad at their job, they're usually corrupt as all hell, even without any antagonist objectives.
* ByTheBookCop: They're ''supposed'' to be this. The amount of security officers who actually ''are'' this, however, tend to vary depending on the round.
* LawfulGood: Much like the Head of Security above, they're ''supposed'' to act in such a manner.
* PoliceAreUseless: Surprisingly common when the officers aren't simply blatantly corrupt.
* PoliceBrutality: Extremely common from them.

Low-end employees of Nanotrasen aboard the station, assistants have the lowest possible position aboard the station, with no explicitly assigned duties to attend to, but offically take orders from every other position aboard the station. Because of this, they generally have much less responsibilities than anybody else on the station, who usually consider the assistants beneath their notice. Because of this, however, they also often get the reputation of being troublemakers who often draw the ire of the Security force.
* AlmightyJanitor: You'd think someone with no assigned duties and lack of general access would be one of the least threatening positions on the station, but as it turns out, it's precisely because they don't have any assigned duties that give them the time to spend in order to get illicit access anywhere they want. The fact that they're one of the few roles with full maitenance access doesn't help either.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Usually ends up as these due to being a popular role for experienced players, and the fact that the job itself answers to absolutely everybody else on the station.
* {{NEET}}: Technically speaking, since the Assistants have no assigned duties, they usually end up doing whatever they want on the station since it's extremely rare that anybody would actually call them up to help them with anything.

*Technobabble: Averted. That said while it makes sense to other engineers if you try to explain why shoving plasma into the supermatter reactor is a bad idea to the Janitor it will certainly come off as this. Try not to speak engineer to anyone who isn't in engineering.
*MacGyvering: Odds are strong that you won't have everything you need to do the job, either because an assistant has already made off with it so he can go science at some vending machines for a cool hat or because that section of the station got blown up by chemistry. Learning to work around those issues is just part of the process.

From making sure the station is powered, organizing contruction, and ensuring other engineers aren't trying to run the Supermatter generator with CO2 as a coolant the Chief Engineer keeps the station alive in a million little ways, as well as several very large ones. If the Chief Engineer says there's a problem then it should be taken seriously and when he saves the station from being consumed by a rogue quantum singularity you should at least say thank you. Gets his own set of magnetic boots for space walking, a cool toolbelt with a built in shield generator, and access to the EVA supplies so he can repair the station or go have space adventures.

[[folder:Head of Security]]
The last person you want to see on a good day and the first person you want to see on a bad day. The Head of Security has among the hardest jobs on the station if it's being done properly. Between keeping the security forces on the straight and narrow, applying space law, keeping the maximum possible number of people alive, and trying to coordinate the staff during emergencies any Head of Security has their work squarely cut out for them. Comes with an office, a sweet X-01 energy gun, and a fancy beret.
* Badass: In order to get this job on many servers players actually have to prove themselves capable and be specifically approved for it. Thats how much power the HoS potentially has.
* LawfulGood: The ideal HoS should be acting like this. Perhaps not nice but following the law and trying to keep the station intact at minimum. Many servers also have this job configured so that the HoS can't be an antagonist or traitor at all making this alignment required to do the job properly.
* NumberTwo: The HoS is the second in command. In the absense of a Captain the HoS holds the highest rank on the station and can take over should the situation call for it. The only exception is if an executive from Nanotracen happens to be onboard and pulls corporate rank.
* PoliceBrutality: Averted in that the HoS is specifically trusted ''not'' to do this and to prevent his officers from engaging in it as well. Success or failure notwithstanding.
* RayGun: The HoS gets a special X-01 Multiphase Energy Gun in addition to the standard one. It includes an additional stun setting alongside the normal disable and lethal settings.
