- renames/redescs/etc existing stuff to fit new TCAF lore
- lots of 4 years defunct TCFL stuff has been deleted or
repathed/renamed
- the tcfl peacekeeper ship that was soft-removed has been deleted
- the uniforms has also been modified and have had the necessary amount
of blue added. essentially i kitbashed the old TCFL uniforms with the
new TCAF uniforms
i probably missed a lot of tcfl stuff still.

The last time the Light Sensitivity code was changed, I remarked in a
review that "This should probably be a component so that its code isn't
being run on every mob forever". Well I've gotten around to doing that
myself, except I figured out it's even better off as an Element in this
situation rather than a Component. So this is now my first time adding
Elements to the repo. It turns out they're really awesome when paired
with signals.
This PR removes the hardcoded check for the light senstivity and dark
phobia traits from the Life() path, replacing them instead with two
Elements which hook into the pre-existing signal used to handle vision
updates for human mobs. I've mainly done this to help cut down on the
overwhelmingly high cost of the Life() codepath, which is currently one
of the most expensive paths we have.
While I was at it with refactoring these two, I noticed that there
wasn't a trait selection for either of them, so I added selections for
both traits to the disabilities tab so that players can opt-in to being
light sensitive or afraid of the dark!

This PR is a revisit to the previously derelict PR #20159 that has been
unfinished for sometime now. More details about it in general can be
found here:
https://github.com/orgs/Aurorastation/projects/2?pane=issue&itemId=53167153
For awhile I've been talking about "Things I've been doing but it would
be really nice to do them with a skills system", or "And here's how I
would put this into the skills system when it's done". The main thing
that was stopping me from building it myself was having poor real life
skills in UI code and in DB code. However, I've gotten permission to
resume this PR, which has already completed the steps I would not have
been able to do myself. The rest of the PR fits well into my skillset as
a dev.
I'm opening this PR as a draft so as to enable my dev environment to
locally track all the previously modified files. I'll take this PR out
of draft and give this a full writeup when I have more work to show for
the PR this weekend.
### TODO
- [x] Rework a decent chunk of the currently existing skills to no
longer require hardcoded inserts into other systems. EG, converting from
classical ss13 methods, to modern /tg/-style ECS coding methods that
work off of component-signal patterns.
- [x] Make sure all of the existing skills have actual game
functionality (I won't PR a 2016 Baystation12 situation where 90% of the
skills are fluff only)
- [x] Add the various skills not yet made but are necessary for
completion sake, EG: Pilot (Spacecraft), Gunnery, Pilot (Walkers).
- [x] Examine each existing job in the game and assess whether it should
have a skill made with it in mind, or if it's covered by an existing
skill.
- [x] TO DISCUSS, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL: Additional skill proposals not
currently in the pre-existing TODO list, proposing subcategories.
- [x] Ensure that the previous TODO list is completed.
### Current Skills
The current list of skills, checkmarked for if I've completed them/they
have actual game mechanics. Or if we're just relegating them to separate
PRs. Originally this list was going to be forced to visit for a bare
minimum "does at least one thing" requirement, but now that is being
forgone due to this PR ballooning out of control and in complexity, as
well as development time overruns.

Approved by lore (Schwann, Sammy).
changes:
- refactor: "Splits the Jupiter origin into three: ('Jupiter', 'Jupiter,
Callisto', 'Jupiter, Europa')."
- balance: "Characters with the Europa origin gain the Cold Resistance
and Light Sensitivity traits."
- balance: "Characters with the New Gibson origin gain the Cold
Resistance trait."

This allows Little Adhomai tajara to take Biesel citizenship, and gives
them some heat resistance to represent them being more used to warmer
climates then Adhomai.
All tajara ethnicities are able to be Biesel consulars.
This does a few times, after the scope got bigger than I originally
planned:
- Watches now have an action button top left to check time.
- Taj time checking code was moved over to the time helper file to not
be watch exclusive.
- The taj wrist watches now shows the time on adhomai.
- Papercode now has the ability to show taj time and date, and to insert
the credit symbol.
Adds the Zhurong accent, available to Dominian Core World and Dominian
Exile.
Made with approavl of lore team.

Per request of human lore.
Adds one new origin and six new accents.
Saturn becomes a new origin, under which three accents become options,
Iapetus (Cassinian), Enceladus, and Titan.
Mercury and Eris accents added to the currently unused 'Sol System'
origin, making it far less redundant than it currently is.
Unity Station accent added as an option for Earth origin.
"Stationer (STA): Similar to the conventional Terran accent, the
“Stationer” accent instead has its roots in North American English,
reflecting the Alliance’s history in the region.
Mercurian (MCY): Mercurian Common is often heard in the boardrooms of
Einstein Engines, which employs much of the planet’s population. Those
who speak with this accent are often – to no fault of their own –
regarded with suspicion by the SCC due to this association.
Enceladian (ENC): Enceladian Common is descended from the accents of
North and South America, and the residents of Saturn’s moon take pride
in ensuring their accent calls back to their ancestral homes on Earth.
Cassinian (CAS): Cassinian Common, the accent of Iapetus, is typically
associated with the Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau, and
characters affiliated with it in Solarian movies will often talk like a
Cassinian: soft-spoken and generally polite, but reserved and often
distant.
Titanii (TIA): The largest offworlder population in the Sol System,
Titanii Common involves plentiful hand gestures and other visual
signals. Linguists have long theorized the prominence of hand gestures
in this accent comes from the moon’s EVA-centric industries.
Erisian (ERN): Erisian Common bears some resemblance to Lunarian Common
due to the planetoid’s long association with the Solarian Navy. Like its
counterpart, it is very hard to effectively replicate for an outsider."

For humans: "All Orepitters abroad in the Open Doors memorandum would
not work in jobs not requiring an education, and cannot work for
Hephaestus Industries because of its practice of not hiring Trinarists,
nor directly for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate due to its distrust
of the Church; Orepitters who travel abroad independently, either
because they are not Trinarists or not participants in the memorandum,
are not held to this. Human Orepitters born in the Twenty Parishes
should select the Native Orepitter accent, while humans born in
Providence or the Marches should select the Providence accent."
For IPCs: "All Orepitters abroad in the Open Doors memorandum would not

**REQUIRES SYNTH LORE TEAM APPROVAL!!!** If accepted, all added blurbs
are placeholders that can be altered as the synth lore team sees fit.
The reasoning regarding this PR is that I think the current in-game
information around Orepit and the available listed options for
citizenship are too confusing for anyone who may be interested in the
origins; humans can either choose Coalition of Colonies or no
citizenship, despite implied statelessness for humans being confusing
for anyone who might read their card or records and Orepit not being
integrated with the broader Coalition. This makes Orepit a separate and
unique citizenship in a similar vein to the format for the Free Tajaran
Council or Elyran Non-citizen Persons. The included important
information blurbs are for clarity of lore developments regarding the
Open Doors memorandum and megacorporate hiring standards for Trinarists.
I understand that I was told by NM that plans will be in the works for
Orepit after the Golden Deep arc and hope this isn't seen as
overstepping or a stopgap measure.

Adds two new Dionae origins for the Viridis, reflecting the recent lore
changes for Hegemony Dionae. The Viridis noble origin comes with a new
accent, Gardensong.
Allows Dionae to be Hegemony consulars as noble Dionae now exist. Also
allows Dionae to take Sinta'Unathi to represent their greater levels of
integration into the Hegemony.

Adds two new origin traits - small pain resistance and a minor stamina
increase. Currently Unathi from the Tza Prairie have the stamina boost
and Unathi from the Zazalai Mountains have the pain reduction.
Also adds drug & alcohol resistance to Crevan Tajara.
Origin traits, as well as species natural armor, will correctly remove
themselves when culture/origin/species is changed.
Vaurca primary language processors (K'lax Sinta'Unathi and C'thur
Nral'malic) are now culture traits rather than loadout items. This means
that they can be added/removed from ghostroles automatically without
having to copypaste the same code 200 times.
Secondary language processors (Sinta'Azaziba, Freespeak, Tradeband) have
stayed as loadout items as some of them do not have distinct cultures or
origins they can be added to.
