Training: Intelligence skills

While there is some overlap between scouting skills and intelligence skills, from a commentary point of view, certain scouting skills better fit with the intelligence portion of the Antarian Rangers’ missions.

Sources listing the intelligence skills are Hero’s Guide, The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide, X-wing: Wraith Squadron and to some extent, Imperial Commando 501st. The following list assigns by sources the various skills known to the Antarian Rangers:

Hero’s Guide: Observation, stealth, search, spot, capable, gather information, hide, move silently, reconnaissance (“recognizing the signals given off by the terrain”)

The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide: Perception, Counter-stealth “notice a target who is actively using the Stealth skill to avoid notice”

X-wing: Wraith Squadron: Escape, “intrusion experts” and “very adept at intrusion”, “particularly proficient in silent movement in difficult terrain”

Imperial Commando 501st: Encryption (?) refers to “crude code”

Millennium Falcon: Encryption (?) refers to “mnemonic phrase”
