EoE CRB p. 93 "Each character starts with a single specialization within his chosen career."

EoE CRB p.275 "This specialization is a universal specialization. The experience point cost to take a universal specialization is always ten times the total number of specializations the character would possess with this new specialization. While this means it costs the same as a career specialization, universal specializations are not career specializations ."
