Faction Affinity Bonus

When recruiting specific jobs from either the Spice Hall or via Contacts that have affinity with specific factions, these new recruits will start with an additional +3 attribute points spread across three different attributes (so +1 in each). The attributes that benefit from this small bonus are fixed in place such that they are of worth to the job's functionality. Some examples of jobs with faction affinity are Rychart Saboteurs, Cadar Shock Troopers, and Alta Mesa Wing Leaders.

Note that this bonus does not apply to your starting crew members on a new game, nor will it apply to conscripted crew members.
