In [[SolSeed]] parlance, [[starfarer]] is a type of person, not a job description. It is a person with the fundamental values and virtues necessary to commit to long-term projects in the service of [[Life]], with actual travel between the stars being just the most commonly cited example. Being a [[starfarer]] does not require you to have traveled on a starship or even to live in an era when starships exist, only that you are the kind of person we would want to send to the stars if we could.
