			* On p27, the Pillar Origin lists its alt mode as having 2 crew capacity and 4 firepoints. This should be the other way around, letting it carry 4 crew with 2 firepoints.
			* On p28, Culture is listed as a skill the Speaker Origin can pick for their Origin Skill, despite the essence increase being in Social. It would be clarified on the Renegade discord that this was supposed to be Performance (Public Speaking).
			* The upscaled melee weapons in the book all lack the AoE effect they should have based on the rules for upscaling weapons.
			* The rules for actually ''making'' a -master partner are completely absent. It was later clarified on Renegade's discord that partners are intended to use the same rules as a Mini-Con, Human Companion, or Alien Companion. Targetmaster Mini-Cons lose their Dock and Linked perks, as well as the Deploy power.
			* A Headmaster body's creation rules also go unprinted. The same discord message clarified they should be created as a Threat of the appropriate level, with a Mini-Cons Docked perk.
