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.

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. Formatting to one aspect of the Scarab is Tolerance 5.

L-B Novastorm IAC (Cruiser)

Considered by many to be the pinnacle of modern warship design, the Novastorm cruiser is 500 meters long, bristles with heavy weapons, and ensconced in a nearly impenetrable shell of olaminium-reinforced armor. Capable of carrying up to eight fighters or shuttles and with a standard complement of 120 marines, the Novastorm is worth its absolutely staggering cost-so much so that even the industrial and military powerhouse that is China can only field four of these vessels.
