A spacer is a person who is a member of a space-going navy or a civilian spaceship crew.
"Spacer" can be used as a generic term to collectively refer to all ranks of naval personnel and merchant ship personnel, in the same way that "soldier" is used as a generic term for army personnel of any rank. Spacer is also the specific title of the lowest grades of naval services.
The traditional symbol for spacers is an archaic vac-helmet.
In the Royal Manticoran Navy, the Grayson Space Navy, and the Republic of Haven Navy, the three most junior enlisted grades are:
- Spacer Third Class (E-1)
- Spacer Second Class (E-2)
- Spacer First Class (E-3)
The Imperial Andermani Navy uses pre-space German language rank titles.
