Engineer infobox
No image available

Usage

Drop-in replacement for a bare {{Infobox}} call on an Engineer article. Reads canonical facts from Module:Data/Engineers (one JSON page per Engineer) when one exists for this page; otherwise falls back to whatever named parameters are passed directly, so this template is safe to use on an Engineer with no JSON record yet.

{{Engineer infobox
 |name = Broo Tarquin
 |image = (optional)
 |engineer_type = Ship (weapons)
 |system = Muang
 |body = (optional)
 |facility = Broo's Legacy
 |region = (optional)
 |allegiance = (optional)
 |specialties = Beam, Burst, and Pulse Laser modifications
 |max_grade = (optional)
 |prerequisite_engineer = (optional — omit if none)
 |discovery_requirement = Referral from Hera Tani
 |invitation_requirement = Combat rank Competent or higher
 |unlock_requirement = Deliver 50 units of Fujin Tea
}}

Empty/omitted fields are hidden automatically, same as {{Infobox}} itself — no manual row numbering needed either way. To add or update the canonical JSON record for an Engineer instead of passing params by hand, see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Adding Structured Data.
