This may have some double posting with the Ghost of Saltmarsh thread, but I plan on at least one new background

Several new Background appeared in GoS:

Fisher: Fishing IS possible in the Astral Sea, but it is NOT a body of water.

Marine: replace Vehicles (Land) with Vehicles (Space) if you're a Wildspace native. Don't if you're a groundling new to space. This gives you skill in space, of course, but also with the ship while landed in a body of water, which is different. Land vehicles won't come into play much. A spelljammer can fly over the land.

Shipwright: The abilities here are limited to a WATER vehicle. If the ship isn't capable of water landings, a Shipwright can't fix it. It also needs to be made of wood, of course. In space a Mending spell does much better, anyhow. Of course, a Shipwrigt who learned Vehicles (Space) rather than (or in addition to) Vehicles(Water) CAN design and build a spelljamming ship. Carpentry is used for Wooden hulls, Blacksmith for Metal hulls.

Smuggler: If a Space native: replace Vehicles (water) with Vehicles (Space)

This is a variant of the Astral Drifter to reflect time spent with the githyanki, rather than an encounter with a diety.

The main mechanical change is to replace the Magic Initiate feat with the Telekinetic feat from Tasha's.

The Divine Contact is also replaced with Gith training. It will be a faction at least neutral to the player's race. Details will have to await a time when I make (or WoTC publishes), Gityanki factions/organizations. Still it should be good for Advantage when rolling reaction from most Githyanki.

This background is meant to be used to explain the subclasses of: Psi Warrior (fighter) and Aberrant Mind (sorcerer, origin #2), although it could also work for an Astral monk.
