	~~To gain access to Selene's Engineering workshop~~:		Unlock requirements summary:
			* Reach '''Grade 3 access and at least one-third progress toward Grade 4''' with [[Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn]].
	# Reach '''Grade 3 access and at least one-third progress toward Grade 4''' with [[Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn]].		* Mine and refine at least '''500 tonnes of ore'''.
	~~# Receive Tod's referral to Selene Jean.~~		* Obtain '''10 units of [[Painite]]'''.
	# Mine and refine at least '''500 tonnes of ore'''.		* Donate the 10 Painite to Selene Jean.
	# Obtain '''10 units of [[Painite]]'''.		{{Important\|'''Painite is a mined commodity.''' It is not a Raw, Manufactured, or Encoded Engineering material. Each unit occupies one tonne of cargo space, so transporting the full unlock requirement requires at least '''10 tonnes of cargo capacity'''.}}
	~~# Travel to '''Prospector's Rest''' in [[Kuk]].~~
	# Donate the 10 Painite to Selene Jean.
	~~# Enter the Engineer workshop and begin [[Engineer Reputation\|increasing your reputation with Selene]].~~

	{{Important\|'''Painite is a mined commodity.''' It is not a Raw, Manufactured, or Encoded Engineering material. Each unit occupies one tonne of cargo space, so transporting the full unlock requirement requires at least '''10 tonnes of cargo capacity'''.~~<ref name="inara-painite">[https://inara.cz/elite/commodity/84/ Painite — Commodity], Inara.</ref>~~}}

	~~=== Obtaining Painite ===~~

	~~Painite is produced through '''mining'''.<ref name="inara-painite" />~~

	~~For Selene's unlock, the simplest approach is to collect at least '''10 tonnes''' while working on the 500-tonne mining requirement.~~

	Painite can be laser-mined from suitable asteroids in '''metallic rings'''. A [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] can be used to locate Painite hotspots within planetary rings, and an A-rated [[Prospector Limpet Controller]] improves fragment yield while also showing the contents of the asteroid.

	~~A basic laser-mining setup normally includes:~~

	* one or more [[Mining Laser\|Mining Lasers]];
	* a [[Refinery]];
	* a [[Prospector Limpet Controller]];
	* a [[Collector Limpet Controller]];
	* limpets; and
	* enough cargo space for the commodities you intend to keep.

	~~See [[Painite]] for current mining methods and [[Mining]] for the full mining workflow.~~

	{{Tip\|Once you have mined the 10 Painite required for Selene, keep it in your cargo hold while finishing the remainder of the 500-tonne requirement. Other mined commodities can be sold or discarded as needed.}}		{{Tip\|Once you have mined the 10 Painite required for Selene, keep it in your cargo hold while finishing the remainder of the 500-tonne requirement. Other mined commodities can be sold or discarded as needed.}}

	~~{{Field note\|Current Engineer data specifically lists Selene's unlock requirement as '''10 units of mined Painite'''. Mining~~ the ~~required Painite yourself while completing the 500~~-~~tonne requirement avoids relying on alternative acquisition methods whose behavior may differ between game versions.<ref name="inara~~-~~selene" />}}~~		For the complete step-by-step process, see [[Unlocking Selene Jean]].

	~~{{Field note\|Current Engineer data notes that station services may not become available immediately after~~ Selene ~~is unlocked~~. ~~If the workshop or other expected services do not appear after completing the unlock, logging out and back in may make them available.<ref name="inara-selene" />}}~~

Selene Jean sits between [[Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn]] and both [[Bill Turner]] and [[Didi Vatermann]] — the latter two are parallel referrals from her, not a further single-line chain.<ref name="wanderer-chain" />

== Available Engineering ==
{| class="wikitable"

Full blueprint names and maximum grades were not confirmed to the same depth as the core chain pages for this pass — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture]] for the site's policy on not inventing unconfirmed specifics.<ref name="wanderer-chain" />

== Experimental Effects ==
To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.

== Increasing Engineer Reputation ==
Reputation increases through crafting modifications at their workshop, in line with the general mechanic covered on the main [[Engineering]] page.

== Blueprint Pinning ==
'''Fact:''' Selene Jean's confirmed specialties are Armour, Hull Reinforcement Package, per [[#Available Engineering|Available Engineering]] above.

'''EDFM recommendation:''' Not yet made. A pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade and full blueprint data above filled in first — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture]] for why EDFM treats pinning guidance as editorial judgement, not a database fact.
