The intriciacies of capsular interfacing.
Pilots that enlist in Special Forces are discharged from military academies well versed in basic combat skills, such as gunnery. Upon graduating, they do not match the brute force and tanking potentials of someone who has specialized in soldiering, but on the other hand they are experts in strategic, electronic warfare using warp disruptors, system scanners and range boosters. A Special Forces pilot is by no means confined to any profession like everyone else, he can decide to do whatever he likes, but the skills granted in training make these pilots excellent bounty hunters, chasing after other peoples enemies, supporting heavily tanked fleets or taking their chances as privateers or pirates.
