What It Brings

Starships of the Galaxy is designed to be an in addition to rather than instead of. The rules here, predominantly, function identically, or analogously, to the ground game, but the features and boons achieved here are designed to be kept separate. While features of the ground game, such as your characters' species, classes, backgrounds, and customization options impact your character's prowess in the space game, the space game should not affect your characters in the ground game.

As always, there might be some exceptions to this rule; for instance, many of the suite options offer bonuses that affect the ground game, and players can use their ship to assault a stronghold that their characters might not be able to conquer on their own. Ultimately, the cross over is up to the GM to adjudicate.
