Ambassador
An ambassador is a master politician and negotiator who speaks on behalf of his people and represents his government on alien worlds.
Those who would become ambassadors must master high-powered political affairs, the history and culture of many worlds, and the intricacies of interstellar diplomacy. As representatives of their worlds and spokesmen for their cultures and policies, ambassadors must be wily negotiators, confident leaders, and clever politicians. Whether stationed at an embassy on some far-flung world or traveling throughout the quadrant as an envoy, an ambassador must embody his people's noblest principles. He speaks for them, giving them a voice in the interstellar community. His words carry their ideals and beliefs to the stars.
Missions
Typically posted to a specific world or station, an ambassador's missions usually involve difficulties in the area where he is stationed. The ambassador may become involved in political intrigue or espionage, have to aid fellow citizens being held oppressed by a host government, or represent his world during delicate negotiations. Whatever may befall his second home affects him as well, allowing the ambassador to shine in his success or smolder in his failures.
Occasionally an ambassador's superiors may send him from his host world to initiate negotiations, lead first contact missions, or supervise exploration in nearby systems or sectors. An ambassador can also get caught up in adventure en route to his next assignment.
Background
Most ambassadors start out as diplomats or bureaucrats, moving into ambassadorial pursuits after advancing sufficiently in their initial profession.
