Before I start rolling and deciding on Character, paths and whatnot, going to ask a few questions first to GM.
1. In regards to OCS for the Lyran academies, where it says SOC 6+, or by event roll, I am assuming my threshold has to be at least a 6 to be able to become an officer, but I tried looking in the field manual in the ruling or wording and did not find anything about where it would go within that path if I went into it.
Would it come prior the AIT like the roll, or would it fall at the end?

2. In terms of contact and how it has a value of 1,2 and 3, I am assuming that regardless of the level, it would still just be a +3 within 2 jumps of X planet, or would the level have other effects?

3. In regards to this statement "Federated Suns or St. Ives characters over the age of 21 may have attended a Lyran academy while the Alliance still
formed part of the Federated Commonwealth and may ignore the Lyran Alliance Affiliation restriction on these paths.
Similarly, Lyran Characters over the age of 21 may attend a Federated Suns academy such as the NAIS"
Would that mean after our 4th path, the chance to go into an academy with these limitations would be open as a path, or do we have to spend edge to enter said academy if there is no legal path into academy?

I guess it does not really matter, was just curious.
Anyway onto the rolling.

Min values will be retroactively changed when a larger value presents itself.
I will roll out my first two rolls now and decide on the path based on what is rolled.
I will also abbreviate many pool skills as well for sake of not wanting to type it all out.
