Ah, spears can still be thrown and aren't exotic. I'm starting to try and think of reasons why a 1st level PC would not go around with a quiver of spears on his back (no, no such thing as a javelin).
Which type of spear? the basic "archaic" spear from Pathfinder apparently suffers a -5 to damage from any Starfinder armor that is also not considered "archaic".
