Well... Looking it up in the rulebook helps, but only if one has the
rulebook to look it up in. :)

This makes it look like the Spanish version combines Vacc Suit,
Battledress, and Environmental Suit into one skill - and now I'm not sure
why Gaizka included it in the career I'm translating. (I suspect that - for
the purposes of this career - JimV actually got it right, and I should
translate it as Vacc Suit.)

It's been a while since I looked at the Core Rulebook; does Mongoose II
(which I can't lay my hands on at the moment) (not 2022 update) also
combine them in English, or are they still separate skills?
