Training paths

Every training path for this class and every ability in it, transcribed from the in-game screens. The class active ability is shared: it is the same on both paths, so choosing one does not change it.

In REDSEC

REDSEC gives this class a different training system, transcribed from its own in-game screens. The class ability is passive here where core multiplayer has an active one, the levels run LVL 04 down to LVL 01 rather than LVL 03 down to LVL 00, the training paths are different ones under different names, and some abilities work on armor plating, which core multiplayer does not use. Where a signature description differs from the core-multiplayer wording, the REDSEC wording is the one printed below.
