We're supposed to be generic here. :)
I figure, if you want Soldier you can take Infantry Training.

Piloting covers things bigger than a thruster pack, like the ship-to-station "broomstick" seen in many gritty sci-fi novels (or for an example from Ultra-Tech, the Zero-G Worksuit). Little more than a stripped-down frame with a rocket strapped to it, but it wants Piloting (High-Performance Spacecraft) skill to get you from point A to point B — think of it like a space bicycle. It also, in the Aerospace flavour, covers getting that escape pod from the station to the ground in one piece.
