You can be relatively lax about deciding which traits are in play: if you're piloting a ship, then a trait like "I'm a great pilot" or "I flew sorties at Altera Prime" can be relevant.

7375 Once you've decided on the approach and what's in play, you're going to roll a massive handful of dice. You should be rolling the dice for two of your stats as determined by your approach as well as the dice corresponding to the traits, objects, and relationships that are in play. Keep these dice around exactly as rolled, as these form the core of your _dice pool_. In the conflict to come, you'll choose your actions by using these already-rolled dice as resources.
