	== Obligation or Duty? ==		== Obligation or Duty? ==

	~~There~~ is an ~~open question on whether to use~~ Obligation or Duty. ~~This remains unresolved~~.		The campaign is definitely an Outer Rim-style game where the players will be making deals, friends, and enemies as they adventure. Obligation seems appropriate here. The Duty mechanic implies that there is a large organization ready and willing to support you with a large amount of material support handy. While the team may be working for TLB who provides some support, this is limited at this time due to the expansion activities the company is going through - resources are spread thin and the team cannot, and should not, count on significant support.
