Aberrant 2.0 Starships

Vessels Overview

Remember that most military vessels take only 1 HL of damage, no matter how many post-soak levels are rolled, from attacks without sufficient area of effect (with an area less than their Massive rating, and take half post-soak damage from weapons with areas less than double their Massive rating), and are large enough so that they cannot attempt to evade most attacks (any attack with an AV rating equal to or less than than their Gargantuan rating)

Military Vessels

Banji Peregrine (Recon Vessel)

The Banji Peregrine is an advanced reconnaissance vessel with cutting edge passive stealth and sensors technology for discreet observation of locales. With a "mere" 500 ton mass these vessels are lightweight and quite nimble for their size. Civilian variants lack the stealth technology of the military version, and remove the missile launcher for additional cargo space.

Abilities: Handling + 1, VS 5 (5 G maximum acceleration), Gargantuan (1)
Crew: 5 + 4 Passengers (typically a Marine VBSS team).
Components: Hull, Drive, 2 x Laser Turrets, 2 x PD Turrets, 1 x Missile Launcher, 2 x Sensor Arrays. Stealth Systems (+3 to detection, +3 difficulty to attack warship via missile weapons).

Special Features: tealth Systems (+3 to detection, +3 difficulty to attack warship via missile weapons), Atmospheric Capable (safe speed 2000 (1600), max speed 4000 (3200)).

Structural

• Hull: Massive (20), Health Levels -0 x 10/-1 x 10/-2 x 10/-3 x 5/-4 x 5/-5 x 5/Disabled, Soak 30B/15L. Hull damage applies penalties to all actions.

• Drive: Massive (10), Health Levels -0 x 2/-1 x 5/-2 x 5/-3 x 5/-4 x 5/Disabled, Soak 30B/15L. Each -1 penalty to drive reduces VS and Handling by 1.

Weapons

• Laser Turret (2): Health Levels -0 x 6/-1 x 6/-2 x 6/-4 x 6/Disabled, Soak 20B/10L. Turret damage reduces the effectiveness of the weapon housed in the turret.

Medium Laser: Accuracy + 2, Damage 24L [15], Rate 1/2, Range 30,000, Magazine (inf), AP(8), AV(6) in anti-ship mode

Accuracy +4, Damage 20L [14], AP (5), AA in anti-fighter/aberrant mode

• PD Turret (2): Health Levels -0 x 5/-1 x 5/-2 x 5/-4 x 5/Destroyed, Soak 20B/10L. Turret damage reduces the effectiveness of the weapon housed in the turret. The Peregrine's PD lasers are AI-controlled, with a total defensive pool of 14d.

PD Laser (Accuracy + 3, Damage 12L, Rate 60, Range 1,000, Magazine (inf), AA, AP(1))

• Missile Launcher: Massive (5), Health Levels -0 x 5/-1 x 5/-2 x 5/-4 x 5/Disabled, Soak 15B/10L. Missile launcher damage reduces the effectiveness of the smart missiles and their tracking.

Smart Missile: (Accuracy +3, Dmg 35L [20], Range 60,000, Rate 1/5, Magazine 6, Guided, AP(10), AV(10), Exp(5))

Sensors

• Sensors: Massive (5), Advanced Sensors (+5 to awareness and attack rolls), Health Levels -0 x 1/-1 x 3/-2 x 3/-4 x 3/Critical Damage (-5) x 1/Destroyed (-8) x 1, Soak 5B/5L. Sensor damage applies penalties to weapons fire and detection. Use the least damaged sensor array to calculate penalties.

Orgotek Scarab (Frigate)

A miniscule vessel compared to most hardtech frigates, the Scarab is still atmosphere-capable even with its 80 meter length, and is still quite capable of holding its own against larger vessels with its advantages in maneuverability and size. Psions may format to the Scarab's weapons or controls-formatting adds +2 to the accuracy of weapons, or +2 to the Scarab's maneuverability.

Abilities: Handling +0, VS 5 (5 G acceleration), Gargantuan (2)
Crew: 6 (commander, helmsman, 4 gunners) + 12 passengers (typically a marine team)
Hangar Space: Two fighters (typically 2 Locusts)
Components: Hull, Drive, Forward Weapons Bay, 2 x Coilgun Turrets, 4 x PD Turrets, 2 x Missile Launchers, 4 x Sensor Arrays
Mass: 10,000 tons

Special Features: ECM (+1 difficulty to attack), Atmospheric Capable (safe speed 1500 (1200), max speed 3000 (2400)).

Structural

• Hull: Massive (30), Health Levels -0 x 15/-1 x 15/-2 x 15/-3 x 15/-4 x 10/-5 x 10/Disabled, Soak 32B/16L. Hull damage applies penalties to all actions.

• Drive: Massive (15), Health Levels -0 x 6/-1 x 6/-2 x 6/-3 x 6/-4 x 6/Disabled, Soak 30B/15L. Each -1 penalty to drive reduces VS and Handling by 1.

• Hangar Pods (2): Massive (10), Health Levels -0 x 20/Disabled, Soak 20B/10L. Disabling a Hangar Pod prevents the use of it for launching and recovering fighters.

Weapons

• Forward Weapons Bay (2): Massive (5), Health Levels -0 x 10/-1 x 10/-2 x 10/-4 x 10/Disabled, Soak 25B/15L. Damage to this component reduces the effectiveness of the weapons mounted on it.

Heavy Lasers (3): Accuracy + 2, Damage 25L [20], Rate 1/3, Range 40,000, Magazine (inf), AP(8), AV(6), Exp(2) in anti-ship mode

• Coilgun Turret (2): Massive (5), Health Levels -0 x 10/-1 x 10/-2 x 10/-4 x 10/Disabled, Soak 25B/15L. Damage to this component reduces the effectiveness of the weapons mounted on it.

Light Coilguns (2): Accuracy + 2, Dmg 25L [20], Range 15,000, Rate 1, Magazine 200, AP(7), AV(3), Exp(2))

• PD Turret (4): Health Levels -0 x 5/-1 x 5/-2 x 5/-4 x 5/Destroyed, Soak 25B/15L. Turret damage reduces the effectiveness of the weapon housed in the turret. The Scarab's PD lasers are AI-controlled, with a total defensive pool of 14d.

PD Laser (Accuracy + 3, Damage 12L, Rate 60, Range 1,000, Magazine (inf), AA, AP(1))

• Missile Launcher (2): Massive (5), Health Levels -0 x 5/-1 x 5/-2 x 5/-4 x 5/Disabled, Soak 20B/15L. Missile launcher damage reduces the effectiveness of the smart missiles and their tracking.

Fusion Warhead: Dmg 60A [40] + 80L [80] (halve lethal damage in vacuum), Exp(15/[5 in vacuum]), Magazine 2

Sensors

• Sensors (4): Massive (5), Advanced Sensors (+5 to awareness and attack rolls), Health Levels -0 x 1/-1 x 3/-2 x 3/-4 x 3/Critical Damage (-5) x 1/Destroyed (-8) x 1, Soak 5B/5L.
