Well... Looking it up in the rulebook helps, but only if one has the rulebook to look it up in. :) This makes it look like the Spanish version combines Vacc Suit, Battledress, and Environmental Suit into one skill - and now I'm not sure why Gaizka included it in the career I'm translating. (I suspect that - for the purposes of this career - JimV actually got it right, and I should translate it as Vacc Suit.) It's been a while since I looked at the Core Rulebook; does Mongoose II (which I can't lay my hands on at the moment) (not 2022 update) also combine them in English, or are they still separate skills?
