Description

This is the scientific study of the structure, behavior, and habitats of living organisms. You must specialize in the life of a particular planet type. If you do not specify a planet type, your native planet type is assumed. At higher tech advancement, most biologists have an optional specialty as well.

Specializations

The most common options are:

biochemistry (the study of the chemical reactions that sustain life), botany (the study of plants)

ecology (the study of environments)

genetics (the study of heredity and genomes)

marine biology (the study of ocean life)

microbiology (the study of microscopic organisms)

zoology (the study of animals)

more obscure specialties are possible. The Int default applies only to the planet type you grew up on. The default between different planet-type specialties is -4.
