JOBS
Here is a quick explanation of the jobs in the Shatterdome!
KWOON FIGHTMASTER: responsible for training Jaeger recruits and pilots in an array of combat techniques, including hand-to-hand combat, martial arts, and weaponized engagement through disciplines such as fencing and bojutsu.
CONN-POD CONTROL INSTRUCTOR: responsible for designing Kaiju conflict scenarios for use in holographic Jaeger combat simulators.
JAEGER ASSAULT SPECIALIST: Masters of Jaeger battle techniques, including close-quarter combat, melee strikes, and special weapons tactics, these individuals are responsible for training pilots for the specific combat requirements and situation that arise when facing Kaiju.
PSYCH ANALYST: Selected for psychological self-awareness, these trainers focus on helping recruits understand and control their own psyches, a necessary prerequisite to entering the Drift. These analysts also provide therapy to pilots returning from missions.
K-WATCH: The K-Science division includes K-Watch sentries that monitor the Breach and send emergency response alerts that activate Jaegers. Officers assigned to K-Watch are typically responsible for naming Kaiju, based on the shapes received by sonar if they aren't chosen from a database.
KAIJU BIO-HARVESTER: Harvesters are required to venture inside the body of a Kaiju and harvest Kaiju body parts vital to their research.
CRYPTOZOOLOGISTS: Cryptozoologists are required to regularly analyze and examine each Kaiju that emerges from the breach in order to assess a weakness or particular behavior that will work in the favor of the Defense Corps' Rangers in combat. Cryptozoologis may be negatively referred to as "Kaiju groupies".
HAZMAT OFFICER: Hazmat officers are in charge of containment and neutralizing toxic threats that can cripple a Strike Zone months after a Kaiju attack. Neutralizing the toxicity of Kaiju blood and the gases (or "bloodmist") that it gives off is a often a primary concern as it can infect the civilian population fairly quickly.
WEAPONS SPECIALISTS: Weapons specialists are responsible for the design of offensive power in Jaeger weapons and additional weaponry. Swords, plasma cannons, and missiles are a few of the weapons they can create.
JAEGER ENGINEER: Engineers are responsible for designing the look of the Jaegers, as well as maintenance and support. Engineers are likely to be found making repairs on the body of a Jaeger and researching a new design to give them an edge in combat.
NEURAL BRIDGE OPERATOR: Given the delicate process of the Drift, NBOs are required to aid Rangers in maintaining the stability of the Drift connection.
BATTLE PROGRAMMER: Battle programmers are responsible for programming the Jaegers and maintaining their battle-ready status, with smarter and easier interfaces for Rangers to operate with.
JAEGER PILOTS: Quite simply those brave enough to drive a jaeger into battle. They are sent through a series of tests to find someone to drift with.
