Avionics


Standard Alpha and Beta Avionics and Other Features


1. Radar: Both the Alpha and Beta model Veritech fighters are equipped with a powerful radar array with a 140 degree field of view for targeting and 360 degree warning coverage. This radar is designed for aerospace superiority and strike operations and features a low-observable, electronically-scanned array that can track multiple targets in all kinds of weather as well as outer space. The radar array can also focus its emissions to overload enemy sensors. This gives the Veritechs a limited electronic-attack capability and requires an Electronic Countermeasures skill roll to deploy it. If the character doesn’t have the skill, he can substitute the Sensory Equipment skill, but at a -15% penalty. The VF/A-61 and VF/A-6Z Alphas and the VF/B-9 Beta have a range of 150 miles and can track up to 50 targets at once. The VF/A-6H Recon Alpha has an upgraded radar array that has a range of 250 miles and can track 144 targets at a time.


2. Communications: Wide band and directional radio communication system with built-in scrambler that transmits both voice and cockpit video. Range is 600 miles, but can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay. Secure laser communication with a range of 250,000 miles.


3. On-Board Computer System: All Veritechs have a powerful on-board computer that handles all targeting and combat control abilities. The combat computer collects data from all sensors and displays the information on the pilot’s HUD.


4. Motion Detector and Collision Warning System: Detects objects within 5,000 feet and alerts the pilot with an alarm and flashing light.


5. Sensor Pod/ Sensor Head: The sensor pod and sensor head have the following optical sensors:


Telescopic Optical Enhancement: 2,000 foot range and a 120 degree field of view.


Audio Pickup and Filtration: This system works both multi-directionally and as a shotgun mic. It can pick up sounds as quiet at a conversation at 500 feet. 


Loudspeaker: Amplifies the pilot’s voice up to 100 decibels.


Spotlights: Two tiny, high intensity xenon spotlights with a 1,000 foot range


Infrared Spotlight: Emits an infrared beam that is invisible to the naked eye but can be seen by the right sensors. Range 2,000 feet, but is reduced by half in smoke or inclement weather.


Tactical Camera: This camera, called the “gun camera” by pilots, can record up to 180 minutes of footage into memory that can then be downloaded and watched.


Thermal Imager: Converts the heat signatures of warm objects into visible images. 2,000 foot range and allows the pilot to see through darkness, shadows, smoke, and inclement weather and even through walls up to one foot thick.


Nightvision: Passive light amplification that allows the pilot to see in the dark as long as there is at least some ambient light. 4,000 foot range but is completely useless in total darkness.


6. Ejection Seat: There are two separate ejection systems in the Alpha and Beta. The first is the Atmospheric Ejection System that has a traditional ejection seat that exits through the canopy in fighter or guardian modes or the back in Battloid mode. The second system is for use in space where the entire fuselage from the pilot’s compartment forward is jettisoned. This escape capsule retains the life support system and protects the pilot from both the vacuum of space and enemy fire while waiting to be recovered.


7. Distress Beacon: Broadcasts a distress beacon on an encrypted UEEF frequency. Range of 250 miles.


8. Self Destruct: A last ditch system to prevent the capture of the mecha. The blast is largely contained and does 1d6x100 to a 25 foot radius for a mecha with little or no missiles left, and 2d6x100 to a 100 foot radius for a mecha with most or all of its missiles.


9. Smoke and Chaff/Flare Dispenser: All Veritechs carry both smoke and chaff dispensers to confound radar and confuse enemies. The smoke dispenser has four charges and can make a thick cloud of white smoke about 60 feet across. The chaff/flares dispensers have four charges each and have a 01-75% chance to confuse both radar guided and heat seeking missiles.


10. Tactical Life Support: All Veritechs have a pressurized pilot’s compartment with an internal oxygen supply good for 48 hours. This can be stretched to a week through the external oxygen intakes. The intakes are equipped with scrubbers to filter out chemical and biological agents. The pilot can hook the life support from his CVR-3 armor to the onboard system to extend his personal oxygen supply.

Mecha of the UEEF

VAF-6I Alpha Fighter
M.D.C. by Location:
· Head – 75
· *Sensor Pod – 45
· Hands (2) – 45 each
· Forearms (2) – 120 each
· Upper Arms (2) – 90 each
· Shoulders (2) – 100 each
· Upper Legs (2) – 120 each
· Lower Legs (2) – 180 each
· **Wings (2) – 150 each
· ***Tail Stabilizers (2) – 100 each
· ****Main Body – 420
· Reinforced Pilot’s Compartment – 150
· EU-13 Gun Pod – 100
*Destroying the sensor pod will knock out most of the Alpha’s sensors in Battloid mode. Radar range is reduced to 10 miles (16km), and long range radio, laser communications, and the targeting system are disabled until it transforms into guardian or fighter mode. All of this leaves the Alpha at -3 to strike, parry and dodge.
**Destroying even one wing will send the Alpha immediately out of control and it will be unable to fly in fighter mode until the wing is repaired or replaced.
***Destroying one vertical stabilizer reduces all bonuses and speed by half and the Alpha is very unstable in fighter mode, but still flyable (-15% on all skill rolls involving stunts and evasive maneuvers). Destroying both stabilizers sends the Alpha out of control, much like losing a wing. The Alpha is unable to fly in fighter mode until the stabilizers are repaired or replaced. Note: The tail stabilizers are small targets to hit and requires a called shot with the following penalties: Shooting at a stationary target -4, moving target -6, and fast moving target -11 to strike.
****Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body destroys the mecha, rendering it totally useless.

2. LWS-12 Nose Lasers (2). Two light lasers weapons are located along the side of the Alpha’s nose in fighter mode. They are fixed forward and can be fired individually or as a pair.
Range: 2,000 feet (610m)
Mega-Damage: 2d4 M.D. for a single laser, 4d4 M.D. when fired as a pair at the same target
Rate of Fire: Each shot counts as one of the pilot’s melee attacks.
Bonus: +2 to strike with nose laser.

3. MM-60 Missile Delivery System. Spread out along the surface of the Alpha are a myriad of single-shot missile launchers. This is the Alpha's primary weapon system.
Range: 3 to 5 miles depending on missile type
Mega-Damage: Usually 2d6x10 per missile.
Rate of Fire: One or in volleys of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or all. One volley, no matter how many missiles are in it, counts as one attack.

*Destroying the Sensor Pod knocks out most of the Beta’s sensors in Battloid mode. Radar range is reduced to 10 miles (16km), and long-range radio, laser communications, and the targeting system are disabled while in Battloid mode. All of this leaves the Beta at -3 to strike, parry, and dodge. Note: This is a difficult target to hit and requires a called shot with the following penalties: Shooting at a stationary target -4, moving target -6, and fast moving target -11. The same is true of the forearm guns.
**These heavy shields can be used to protect various parts of the Beta’s airframe. Attempting to block incoming missiles, projectiles and energy beams requires a successful parry roll. Depleting the M.D.C. of a shield will destroy the wing transformation mechanism and will render the Beta unable to transform into Guardian or Fighter mode.
***Destroying even one wing sends the Beta immediately out of control and it is unable to fly in fighter and guardian modes until the wing is repaired/replaced.
****Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will destroy the mecha.

VEF-1 Sensor Recon Pack
Instead of the added weapon systems, the Valkyrie can be equipped with a powerful sensor suite, giving the pilot nearly the same EW capability of a dedicated recon aircraft. The radar dome provides 360 degree coverage of the target area with a sensor range of 400 miles. Not quite as far as the Cat's Eye recon, but close. It can electronically link up to 24 fighters at once, and can track and identify up to 144 targets at once, providing them all with the following bonuses:
+1 to Perception Rolls,
+2 to Initiative,
+1 to Strike,
+3 to Parry,
+3 to Dodge.
In order to get the effect of these bonuses, it requires the pilot to make a Sensory Equipment roll at -10% due to the chaos of combat.

Speed
Cycle Mode: Maximum speed is 160mph (256kph). Cruising speed is usually around 80mph (128kph), and the mecha can also hover stationary. Use of the rear thruster can increase maximum speed by 60mph (96kph) for short periods of time (1d6 minutes), as well as allowing the Cyclone to jump up to 40 feet (12.2m) across or 20 feet (6.1m) high.

Battloid Mode The Cyclone mecha enhances the pilot’s natural speed. The running speed of the Cyclone is the pilot’s running speed plus 25%. The vectored thrusters allow the pilot to hover up to 30 feet (9.1m) or skim along the ground or the surface of water, or up to 100 feet (30.5m) at 60mph (96kph). The Cyclone in battloid mode can leap up to 20 feet (6.1m) high and across unassisted by thrusters. Leaps of 100 feet (30.5m) high or across can be made when assisted by the thruster.

Physical Strength: The VR-040 series cyclone gives the wearer an Augmented Strength 8 points higher than his own P.S. attribute, and increases P.P. by two points. (This only applies in Battloid mode.)

Cargo: Two lightly armored, hard-sided saddlebags can be mounted to the Cyclone, as well as a top box mounted behind the rider. Each saddlebag is 18 inches high, 20 inches wide and 18 inches deep and can carry 100 pounds. The top box is 14 inches in all dimensions and can carry 50 pounds. These boxes are watertight, lockable, and easily detachable. They automatically drop off when the Cyclone transforms and must be recovered afterward or are lost.

Other Vehicles




The juggernaut of the UEEF is the MTA-Titan, an all-terrain mecha transport and assault weapon. This marvel of Robotechnology can function with equal ease on land, underwater, and in space. In space and underwater, its two rear thrusters rocket it along, while directional thrusters, found in the structures that line the center of the undercarriage, keep it stable and change direction. On land, eight huge sphere-wheels enable it to ride over the most inhospitable terrain. However, the wheels are more than just wheels, they are actually six-man command modules. Inside each are six fully armored Cyclone riders seated at a consul that floats freely inside the wheel. When the Titan stops, the Cyclone riders can safely exit to engage the enemy or investigate. The main body looks deceptively like a troop or cargo carrier. In reality, it is a massive rapid-fire laser cannon. The Titan can undergo an instant modular transformation in which the cannon slides up and forward into firing position while two protective shields rise into position and the engine thrusters flip sideways. The cannon is very similar to those incorporated into the defense systems of the SDF series battle cruisers. It is intended to be a heavy artillery support and assault field unit. On top the cannon is a particle beam turret to defend it from aerial assault. In addition to its formidable weapons, the Titan has a mecha bay containing 12 mecha, depending on the needs of the assignment and availability, along with 4 Golems and 4 Daniel Support Battloids. Only the M.A.C. III and old-style mecha are too large to fit. When combined with its troops of mecha, the MTA-Titan becomes a rolling fortress of mind boggling power.

Crew: 26 minimum, 40 maximum, and can still accommodate 10 additional passengers. Note that the troops are separate from the crew.

Mecha Complement: 20 - 12 Hover Tanks, Alpha Fighters, or Destroids of various types, 4 Golem Infantry Support Battloids 4 Daniel Fire Support Battloids 150 Cyclones
Troops: 218 to 230 total

*Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the vehicle down completely, rendering it useless. Destroying the Bridge/Command Section will seriously impair the vehicle, resulting in the loss of all sensors, long-range communications, crew and commander. The Titan can be piloted from any one of the eight wheels, but speed and attacks per melee are reduced by half.
Speed: Land speed varies with the terrain, but can reach speeds of up to 210mph (336kph)
Hover: The Titan can rise off the ground and hover by using its directional thrusters. Maximum height is about 500 feet (152.2m). Flight is possible, but limited. Top speed is a slow 100mph (160kph) maximum altitude is about 500 feet. Space propulsion maximum speed is nearly Mach one, 650mph (1040kph)
Underwater propulsion. Ride on the floor at speeds of about 40mph, and through the water like a submarine at speeds of up to 100mph. Maximum ocean depth is 2.2 miles.

Weapon Systems
1. Rapid-Fire Laser Cannon. This is one of the most devastating weapons in the REF’s arsenal. It is fixed in a forward position, but can be raised along a 120 degree arc of fire.
Range: 20 miles in an atmosphere, 60 miles in space
Mega Damage: 1d6x100 per single blast
Rate of Fire: four attacks per melee

2. Front, Small Particle Beam Turret (PBT-S1) is for the defense of the bridge/command section. It has a 360 degree rotation and a 180 degree arc of fire.
Range: 4,500ft
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10
Rate of Fire: Equal to the number of attacks of the gunner/operator

3. PBT-M2 Main Particle Beam Turret mounted on the top of the laser cannon can fire when the cannon is extended or retracted. It has a 360 degree rotation and a 180 degree arc of fire.
Range: 5,000ft
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 per twin blast.
Rate of Fire: Six per melee

4. MTA-Missile Launcher. A missile launcher is built into the rear of the Titan.
Range: Varies with missile type, typically 40 to 80 miles
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile type, typically loaded with HEAP warheads doing 3d6x10 MD
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of 2, 4, 6, or 8
Payload: 36 in an internal magazine with up to 4 reloads are typically carried for a total of 144 missiles. Reloading the magazine takes a skilled crew one minute.





The VM-9H Silverback is the new REF all purpose, fast attack Veritech ground vehicle. It is a light, quick, durable four-wheel drive combat vehicle that can handle rough terrain off-road, and handles well in most environments. to add to its versatility, the Silverback is actually a Veritech that can go from four-wheeled vehicle to battloid in a matter of seconds. Battloid mode enables the Silverback to walk across shallow rivers and streams, climb over walls of debris or up the side of mountains, and deal with a number of environmental conditions. The Silverback is powered by a larger, supercharged version of the Cyclone's rotary engine and is mated to a heavy-duty transmission and transfer case. If the Silverback looks a bit like it was put together from extra pieces from a Cyclone weapon systems and parts bin, that's because it was. The Silverback shares many of the same components, such as transformation gear, sensors and weapon systems as its two wheeled cousins, making it look like two Cyclones lashed together.

Legs (2) – 260 each
Main Vectored Thruster – 120
**Outboard Thrusters (2) – 75 each
Main Cannon – 150
Triple Barreled Ion Cannon – 100
EU-11 Gun Pod – 100
Reinforced Pilot’s Compartment – 150
***Main Body – 475
*Destroying an arm shield renders the weapon housed inside it inactive and exposes the arm to damage.
**The outboard thrusters are only deployed in Transport mode. Destroying one reduces speed and bonuses to dodge in transport mode by one third. Destroying both reduces speed by 66% leaves the Hover Tank uncontrollable (-70% to piloting skill), and the vehicle cannot be operated in transport mode until the outboard thrusters are repaired or replaced
***Destroying the main body renders the mecha completely inoperable.

Weapon Systems
1. MCR-68A1 105mm Cannon Mounted in a retractable housing in the right arm shield, the 68A1 served well as the main weapon of the Hover Tank for years. While it is recommended that this weapon only be deployed in Tank/Guardian mode, it can also fire in Battloid mode. Using the cannon in Battloid mode is awkward (no bonuses to strike) and requires the Battloid to be braced against the recoil It was eventually replaced by the HPW-125A1 Particle Cannon on the VHT-1A1 variant.
Range: varies by ammunition as described below.
Mega-Damage: varies by ammunition. The cannon can fire the following kinds of rounds:
Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). A round that uses a dart made of depleted uranium or tungsten to pierce enemy armor.
Range: 4 miles (6.4km)
Mega-Damage: 3d6x10 M.D.
High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT). A shell with a shaped charge warhead.
Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 M.D.
Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT). A HEAT round with an added proximity fuse to allow it to engage slow, low flying aircraft such as helicopters and for air bursts over targets.
Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 to a 50 foot (15.2m) radius
Canister. A shell filled with tungsten shot that acts like a giant shotgun shell for use against building, dug-in infantry, and thin-skinned vehicles.
Range: 2,500 feet (762m)
Mega-Damage: 1d8x10 M.D. to everything within a 25 foot (7.62m) area up to half range, 1d4x10 to everything within 50 feet (15.24m) area at full range.
High Yield Incendiary (Plasma). An extremely lethal anti-personnel round filled with super heated plasma.
Range: 1.5 miles (2.4km)
Mega-Damage: 2d8x10 M.D. to everything in a 25 foot (7.6m) area from the initial blast. Sets all combustible substances ablaze and continues to burn, doing an additional 4d8 M.D. per minute for 1d6+1 minutes.
Smoke. These shells emit billowing clouds of thick smoke and are used primarily for cover and to mark target zones. They come in black, white, red, green, and yellow, and make a cloud big enough to obscure an area 100 feet (30.5m) across.
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)
Damage: none
Rate of Fire: Twice per melee round
Payload: 48 rounds

2. HPW-125A1 Particle Cannon (VHT-1A1, VHT-1A3 variants). This is the 125mm particle cannon that replaced the 105mm cannon in later model Hover Tanks. It fires a stream of charged particles over long distances and delivers a massive amount of kinetic, armor piercing damage. While not as versatile as the old cannon, the 125A1 performs extremely well against armored opponents. It also has the added advantage of not needing to carry ammunition, which reduces the operating weight of the Hover Tank. The main drawback of the weapon is that it is an energy hog, and reduces the Hover Tank’s speed by ten percent when active due to massive energy consumption.
Range: 8,000 feet (2,438.4m)
Mega-Damage: 2d10x10+20 M.D. per blast
Rate of Fire: Three times per melee round.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
Note: The Plasma Cannon delivers a massive stream of particles. The gun hits like a wrecking ball, and any mecha under 50 tons hit by a blast has a chance of being knocked down. When hit, the pilot must make a roll on the appropriate mecha piloting skill to keep his footing. Mecha that are knocked down lose initiative and one attack while they return to their feet.

3. MIW-20 Triple Barreled Ion Pulse Cannon. The MIW-20 is a 20mm, rapid fire ion pulse cannon. It is hard hitting and very accurate over short distances. This weapon is used as a close defense weapon to keep infantry and other mecha at bay, and can only be deployed in Tank/Guardian mode.
Range: 1,800 feet (548.6m)
Mega-Damage: 1d6x10 M.D. per three blast pulse.
Rate of Fire: Each pulse blast counts as one attack
Payload: Effectively unlimited.

4. EU-11 Gun Pod. The EU-11 is a 30mm high-intensity, selective fire laser gun pod capable of firing a single shot or five round burst. It has an integral laser targeting system and a collapsible stock and is powered by an internal capacitor that is charged by the Spartas’ engine. This weapon is accurate at very long ranges. The weapon is fixed forward in transport mode and carried in Battloid mode.
Weight: 250 pounds (112.5kg)
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)
Mega-Damage: 1d8 M.D. per single blast, 1d4x10 M.D. for a five round burst
Rate of Fire: Each single blast or five round burst counts as one attack
Note: the EU-11 enjoys a +2 bonus to strike (in addition to other bonuses) thanks to its laser targeting system.

5. Hand to Hand Combat.
Restrained Punch/Forearm Shield: 1d6 M.D.
Full-Strength Punch or Shield Strike: 3d6 M.D.
Power Punch: 1d6x10 M.D. Counts as two attacks.
Tear/Pry/Crush with Hands: 1d8 M.D.
Stomp: 2d6 M.D. against targets less than 10 feet (3m) tall
Kick: 5d8 M.D.
Leap Kick: 1d8x10. Counts as two attacks.
Body Block/Ram: 2d6 M.D. per 20 mph (32km) of speed. Uses two attacks and has a 60% chance of knockdown against targets up to 50% bigger. Victims of a successful knockdown lose initiative and two melee attacks.

Bonuses from Mecha Combat Training: +1 attack per melee round at levels 1, 3, 6, 10, and 14, +2 on initiative, +2 to strike with cannon and long-range weapons, +3 to strike (applies to punches and kicks), +4 to parry, +3 to dodge, +3 to disarm, +4 to pull punch, and +3 to roll with impact. The pilot’s own number of hand to hand attacks and bonuses (if any) are combined with these when piloting the mecha.

VHT-1S Command Variant Enhanced sensors in this model of tank provide the following additional bonuses to the squadron: +1 to initiative, +2 to strike, and +1 to parry and dodge for all members of the squadron within one mile (1.6km). This roll requires a roll on the Sensory Equipment skill at a -10% penalty due to the chaos of combat.

Large Airlocks (20) 500 each
Outer Hull (per 40ft area) 120 Interior walls (per 20ft) 20
NOTES: Depleting the MDC of the main body will put the Carrier out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, including life support and internal gravity. The ship itself will be an unsalvageable floating wreck.
Destroying the command tower will instantly kill the command staff and deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. The range and targeting capabilities of the secondary systems are equal to that of an Alpha fighter. The ship can still operate, but is at -3 on initiative, -3 to strike, and number of attacks per melee of the weapon systems are reduced by half. Destroying the main sensory array behind the command tower will have the same effect, but the command staff will not be killed instantly.
Destroying the foredeck or the flight decks will greatly impair the carrier's ability to deploy and recover aircraft. Under normal operations the carrier can launch or recover up to 12 VFs per turn. If the foredeck is destroyed this number drops to 6, and each flight deck destroyed reduces this number by 3. If both the foredeck and the flight decks are destroyed the carrier can only launch or recover one aircraft every other turn.
Depleting the MDC of the main engines will force the ship to rely on its secondary engines. Depleting the MDC of the main engines AND secondary engines will leave the ship adrift in space. If in an atmosphere, the ship will crash (destruction of the main engines will render the antigravity system useless due to loss of power).

SPEEDS:

WEAPON SYSTEMS:
1. HEAVY MISSILE LAUNCHERS (6): Ark Royal Escort Carriers are not designed for heavy starship-to-starship combat, instead relying on their fighter wings for protection and attack. However if necessary the carriers are armed with six missile launcher tubes for launching ICBM-like missiles at enemy ships. Resembling torpedo launchers, they are mounted on the front of the ship facing forward. The launchers contain long-range nuclear missiles and are usually used only during assaults and heavy combat.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Heavy Assault
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship
RANGE: 3,000 miles (4824 km)
SPEED Mach 2+ (1340 mph/2140 kmph) in an atmosphere.
DAMAGE: 4D6x1000 M.D.
BLAST RADIUS: 3,000 feet (915 m)
RATE OF FIRE: Each launcher tube holds one missile and must be reloaded after firing. Reloading a launcher tube takes 1 minute (4 melee rounds). If loaded, all 6 tubes can fire at once for a volley of 6 nuclear missiles (!).
PAYLOAD A typical battle carrier carries 30 missiles in storage that can be readied for firing in about 30 minutes. Additional missiles can be carried if deemed necessary, however.
NOTE: These missiles CANNOT be used by variable fighters. Each missile is approximately the same size as a combined Alpha/Beta Fighter. Variable fighters that require nuclear ordinance usually carry long range missiles.

2. MEDIUM MISSILE LAUNCHERS (12): In addition to the heavy missile launchers, the escort carriers are armed with twelve medium missile launchers which are primarily intended for anti-aircraft defense. Each launcher contains 8 missile tubes allowing volleys of up to 8 missiles to be fired at a single target per launcher. Once depleted, the missile launchers are reloaded by an automated loading system that takes 15 seconds (one melee round) to reload all 8 missiles. Armor-piercing smart missiles are usually used to avoid chances of friendly fighters being shot down by the missiles.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Anti-Aircraft
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship
MISSILE TYPES: Any type of UN Spacy medium range missile can be used. Smart missiles are commonly used to avoid hitting friendly aircraft.
RANGE: Varies, typically 60 miles (80.4 km).
SPEED Varies, typically 1600mph (2571kmph).
DAMAGE: Varies, typically 3d6x10 M.D.
BLAST RADIUS: Varies, typically 15 feet.
RATE OF FIRE: Volleys of 2, 4, 6, or 8 missiles per launcher.
PAYLOAD Each launcher holds 8 missiles. Once the missiles are expended the launcher is reloaded within 1 round via an automated system. The reload system holds 40 missiles per launcher.

3. RETRACTABLE LASER TURRETS (24): As a final line of defense the escort carrier is armed with 24 automated laser turrets that retract into the ship's hull when not in use. These short-range lasers are intended primarily for anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense, but can do moderate damage against smaller enemy spacecraft if they get too close. The lasers are located at key points along the spacecraft's hull. At most 4 lasers can be directed against a single target at any time.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Anti-Missile
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Aircraft
RANGE: 30 miles (48.2 km) in an atmosphere. Double in space.
DAMAGE: 1D6x20 M.D. per shot
RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the controller's number of hand-to-hand attacks. If set on automatic each laser turret can fire up to 4 shots per round.
NOTE: The lasers can be set on automatic during combat, during which time they have a +3 to strike due to their advanced tracking systems. The lasers tracking systems will target incoming missiles first and attacking mecha/aircraft second.

SYSTEMS OF NOTE:
ANTIGRAVITY PROPULSION SYSTEM: The Ark Royal escort carriers are equipped with an anti-gravity propulsion system used for planetary landings and liftoffs. The system is good for vertical ascent/descent only and can lift the ship at speeds of up to 1,320 feet (400 m) per minute. The system will function so long as the main engines can supply energy to it.
HYPERSPACE COMMUNICATIONS: Based on the same technology as the space fold system, the hyperspace communications relay allows faster-than-light communication between the New Macross ships and other vessels or planetary bases. Hyperspace communications are still not instantaneous, however. Audio/video communication travels through hyperspace at a rate of about 5 seconds per light year, so messages communicated over vast distances can still take days, weeks, or months to arrive.
LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS: The escort carriers have sufficient life support to provide breathable air and comfortable temperatures for 2,500 people for up to 30 years (air is recycled). In an emergency the life support system can support up to 4,000 people at one time, though living conditions onboard will get extremely cramped at that point. The carrier also holds sufficient food and water to support 2,500 people for up to 6 months.
LONG-RANGE LASER/SATELLITE RELAY COMMUNICATIONS: The impressive communications array of the escort carrier can communicate with up to 1,000 craft simultaneously at ranges of up to 900 miles (1,440 km). This range can be boosted indefinitely by using satellites or other spacecraft as to relay communications.
LONG-RANGE RADAR: The radar array of the escort carrier is equally as impressive as the communication system, and can track and identify up to 2,000 craft simultaneously. The radar system has a 2,000 mile/3,200 km range.
SPACE FOLD SYSTEM: For FTL propulsion, the escort carrier is equipped with an ORTEC/Shinnakasu/General Galaxy Advanced Fold System Cluster, capable of propelling the carrier through hyperspace at speeds up to 3.28x10^10 mps (5.25x10^10 kmps), or 1 light year per 6 minutes. The range of the fold drive is theoretically unlimited except by the life expectancy of the spacecraft.
SUBLIGHT ENGINES: As a backup to the Fold System, the escort carrier is equipped with ORTEC/Sentinel Impulse Drive Cluster engines that can propel the craft at speeds up to 0.20 speed of light (32,000 miles per second) in space. Note that these engines are mainly intended for rapid movement inside a planetary system and are not suited for long voyages between star systems. In a planetary atmosphere the carrier is limited to speeds of Mach 3 maximum due to hull stress.
SUBSPACE MASS SENSORS: The Ark Royal escort carriers are equipped with subspace sensors, which are based on the same principles as the hyperspace communications array. These sensors can essentially instantly detect mass readings and movement of objects up to 1 AU (93 million miles) distant from the carrier, and the readings are used both for early warning and for navigation when travelling at sublight speeds. Readings taken with the subspace sensors are not very detailed (-25% penalty when trying to identify a detected object) and cannot detect objects of less than 60,000 kg (this includes most variable fighters).

MECHA COMPLEMENT (STANDARD):
Alpha Fighters: 200 on active status. An additional 30 Alphas are stored in holding bays and can be readied within 2D6 hours.
Beta Fighters: 100 on active status. An additional 30 Betas are stored in holding bays and can be readied within 2D6 hours.
VF-1 Valkyries: 25 on active status. An additional 5 Valkyries are stored in holding bays and can be readied within 1d6 hours.
Raven Shuttles: 4 EW aircraft.
Horizont Shuttles: 2 can be docked internally
Logistics and Auxiliary: One Logistics squadron of 18 cargo and service shuttles.
Destroids: While primarily operating with Veritech fighters, the Arc Royal does maintain a small complement of destroids, including 12 Tomahawks, 6 Gladiators, 6 Defenders, 6 Phalanx, 4 M.A.C. II or III Monsters, and 12 Hover Tanks
Cyclones: 500 of various types
Other vehicles of note: 2 MTA-Titans with full complement of mecha.

NOTE: The Ark Royal escort carriers have enough room to hold an additional 24 fighters if necessary, though the landing bays would be extremely cramped at that point.

NOTES: Depleting the MDC of the main body will put the frigate out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, including life support and internal gravity. The ship itself will be an unsalvageable floating wreck.
Destroying the command tower will instantly kill the command staff and deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. The range and targeting capabilities of the secondary systems are equal to that of a VF-1 Valkyrie. The ship can still operate, but is at -3 on initiative, -3 to strike, and number of attacks per melee of the weapon systems are reduced by half. Destroying the main sensory array atop the command tower will have the same effect, but the command staff will not be killed instantly.
Depleting the MDC of the main engines will force the ship to rely on its secondary engines. Depleting the MDC of the main engines AND secondary engines will leave the ship adrift in space. If in an atmosphere, the ship will crash (destruction of the main engines will render the antigravity system useless due to loss of power).
The Pinpoint Barriers regenerate at a rate of 200 MD per second (2,500 MD per melee round). If destroyed, a barrier will completely regenerate within 15 seconds (1 melee rounds). See the Pinpoint Barrier entry for details.

WEAPON SYSTEMS:
MAIN LASER CANNONS (2): The main weapon systems of the Northampton Frigates are two heavy laser cannons, mounted on either side of the ship near the command tower facing forward. Despite the ship's small size these cannons pack a punch equal to those used by larger Zentraedi vessels and make the Northampton a foe to be reckoned with. Each laser can fire separately or together, but can only fire at targets that are almost directly in front of the frigate (lasers can aim 10 degrees off the ship's centerline).
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Heavy Assault
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship
RANGE: 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
DAMAGE: 1D8x1000 M.D. per blast
RATE OF FIRE: Each cannon can fire once per melee round.
PAYLOAD Effectively unlimited.

HEAVY MISSILE LAUNCHERS (2): To back up the heavy lasers the Northampton frigates are also armed with two heavy missile launcher tubes that launch ICBM-like missiles at enemy ships. The missile tubes resemble torpedo launchers and are mounted alongside the main laser cannons on each side of the ship. The launchers contain long-range nuclear or reflex missiles and are usually used only during assaults and heavy combat.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship (Mecha Planetary Assault)
RANGE: 3,000 miles (4824 km)
SPEED Mach 2+ (1340 mph/2140 kmph) in an atmosphere.
DAMAGE: 4D6x1000 M.D.
BLAST RADIUS: 3,000 feet (915 m)
RATE OF FIRE: The rapid reload system used on the missile launchers allows each tube to be loaded and fired once per melee round.
PAYLOAD A typical battle load is 10 missiles at the ready with 20 missiles in storage that can be readied for firing in about 30 minutes. Additional missiles can be carried if deemed necessary, however.
NOTE: These missiles CANNOT be used by variable fighters. Each missile is approximately the same size as a VF-1 Valkyrie. Variable fighters that require nuclear ordinance usually carry long range missiles.

ANTI-WARSHIP CANNONS (8): Northampton frigates are also armed with anti-warship cannons similar to Zentraedi concealed laser cannons. Six of these lasers are mounted facing forward while two are mounted to the rear to attack enemies behind the ship. Like the main laser cannons the anti-warship cannons have only a limited arc of fire (15 degrees off centerline) and thus can only be used against ships to the front or rear of the frigate.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assault
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship
RANGE: 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
DAMAGE: 1D6x100 M.D. per shot
RATE OF FIRE: Each cannon can fire twice per melee. The cannons can fire individually or be combined with the heavy lasers to fire a single volley.
PAYLOAD Unlimited.

MEDIUM MISSILE LAUNCHERS (6): For anti-aircraft defense the frigates are armed with medium-range missile launchers set at key locations along the ship's hull. Each launcher contains 6 missile tubes allowing volleys of up to 6 missiles to be fired at a single target per launcher. Once depleted, the missile launchers are reloaded by an automated loading system that takes 15 seconds (one melee round) to reload all 8 missiles. Armor-piercing smart missiles are usually used to avoid chances of friendly fighters being shot down by the missiles.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Anti-Aircraft
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-Warship
MISSILE TYPES: Any type of UN Spacy medium range missile can be used. Smart missiles are commonly used to avoid hitting friendly aircraft.
RANGE: Varies, typically 50 to 80 miles.
SPEED Varies, typically 1600mph (2571kmph).
DAMAGE: Varies, typically 3d6x10 M.D.
BLAST RADIUS: Varies, typically 15 feet.
RATE OF FIRE: Volleys of 2, 4 or 6 missiles per launcher.
PAYLOAD Each launcher holds 6 missiles. Once the missiles are expended the launcher is reloaded within 1 round via an automated system. The reload system holds 36 missiles per launcher.

PINPOINT BARRIER DEFENSE SYSTEM: Originally developed by researchers onboard the SDF-01 Macross during Space War One, the Pinpoint Barrier System is a standard defense system on board the Northampton frigates. The system generates four small disc-shaped force fields that can be positioned anywhere along the ship to deflect missiles, energy beams or projectiles. Each pinpoint barrier is about 200 ft (61 m) in length and can absorb up to 2,500 MD in damage, which then regenerates within fifteen seconds (1 melee round). The barriers can also be layered on top of each other to generate a field which provides 10,000 MDC and can even deflect heavy particle beams (sometimes)
The four barriers are controlled by operators in the command tower of the carrier. These operators are instructed to defend (1) the command tower, bridge, and sensor array, (2) main engines, (3) hangar bays, and (4) weapon systems, in that order. The operators primarily concentrate on defending the ship against larger spacecraft and leave defense against mecha attacking the carrier to the VF pilots.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Defense (the pinpoint barrier system cannot be used as a weapon)
RANGE: Up to 300 feet (91.5 m) from the surface of the vessel.
DAMAGE CAPACITY: Can sustain up to 2,500 MD per round. Regenerates at a rate of 2,500 MD per melee round.
RADIUS: 200 ft (61 m)
DEFENSIVE MOVEMENT: Can move from one end of the carrier to the other in less than a single round. Trained operators can attempt to block attacks up to 8 times per melee (counts as a parry) and are at +7 to block. Untrained characters can parry up to their number of hand-to-hand attacks with their normal parry bonuses only.
PAYLOAD Nearly inexhaustible. Will work as long as system is functional (see below) and engines are intact. If main engines are destroyed, the barrier will lose power and not function.
NOTE: If all four barriers are grouped in a single spot they can deflect a heavy particle beam attack, such as the one generated by the Macross Cannon. However, the beam will completely destroy all four barriers and put incredible strain on the pinpoint barrier system, to the point where it may short out. After deflecting an energy beam, roll percentile dice on the table below to determine additional effects/damage.
01-05: Lucked out, system will be operational in 1D6 hours.
06-20: Minor damage, system will require 4D6 hours to repair
21-35: Major damage, system will require 2D6x10 hours to repair (yes, DAYS of work).
36-64: Completely destroyed! System can be rebuilt, but will require new parts and 2D6 DAYS of work to replace.
65-79: Major damage, system will require 2D6x10 hours to repair.
80-94: Minor damage, system will require 4D6 hours to repair.
95-99: Lucked out, system will be operational in 1D6 hours.
00: It's a miracle! Trivial damage only, system will be operational again in only 4D6 melee rounds!

SYSTEMS OF NOTE
ANTIGRAVITY PROPULSION SYSTEM: The Northampton frigates are equipped with an anti-gravity propulsion system used for planetary landings and liftoffs. The system is good for vertical ascent/descent only and can lift the ship at speeds of up to 1,320 feet (400 m) per minute. The system will function so long as the main engines can supply energy to it.
ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES (ECM) "STEALTH" SYSTEMS: The Northampton frigates are the smallest UN Spacy capital ships to be equipped with advanced ECM packages commonly referred to as "Stealth Systems". These systems disrupt enemy radar and tracking systems, making it difficult for them to lock onto the frigates with weapons. The stealth systems give the Northampton a +3 to dodge, +2 to strike and +1 on initiative in combat WITH OTHER STARSHIPS ONLY. VFs and other close-range combat mecha are not affected by these systems. The frigate's stealth systems will fail if the main engines are destroyed.
HYPERSPACE COMMUNICATIONS: Based on the same technology as the space fold system, the hyperspace communications relay allows faster-than-light communication between UN Spacy starships and other vessels or planetary bases. Hyperspace communications are still not instantaneous, however. Audio/video communication travels through hyperspace at a rate of about 5 seconds per light year, so messages communicated over vast distances can still take days, weeks, or months to arrive.
LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS: The stealth frigates have sufficient life support to provide breathable air and comfortable temperatures for 750 people for up to 20 years (air is recycled). In an emergency the life support system can support up to 1,000 people at one time, though living conditions onboard will get extremely cramped at that point. The carrier also holds sufficient food and water to support 750 people for up to 6 months.
LONG-RANGE LASER/SATELLITE RELAY COMMUNICATIONS: The impressive communications array of the stealth frigate can communicate with up to 1,000 craft simultaneously at ranges of up to 900 miles (1,440 km). This range can be boosted indefinitely by using satellites or other spacecraft as to relay communications.
LONG-RANGE RADAR: The radar array of the stealth frigate is equally as impressive as the communication system, and can track and identify up to 2,000 craft simultaneously. The radar system has a 2,000 mile/3,200 km range.
SPACE FOLD SYSTEM: For FTL propulsion, the stealth frigate is equipped with an ORTEC/Shinnakasu/General Galaxy Advanced Fold System Cluster, capable of propelling the carrier through hyperspace at speeds up to 3.28x10^10 mps (5.25x10^10 kmps), or 1 light year per 6 minutes. The range of the fold drive is theoretically unlimited except by the life expectancy of the spacecraft.
SUBLIGHT ENGINES: As a backup to the Fold System, the stealth frigate is equipped with ORTEC/Sentinel Impulse Drive Cluster engines that can propel the craft at speeds up to 0.20 speed of light (32,000 miles per second) in space. Note that these engines are mainly intended for rapid movement inside a planetary system and are not suited for long voyages between star systems. In a planetary atmosphere the carrier is limited to speeds of Mach 3 maximum due to hull stress.
SUBSPACE MASS SENSORS: The Northampton frigates are equipped with subspace sensors, which are based on the same principles as the hyperspace communications array. These sensors can essentially instantly detect mass readings and movement of objects up to 1 AU (93 million miles) distant from the carrier, and the readings are used both for early warning and for navigation when travelling at sublight speeds. Readings taken with the subspace sensors are not very detailed (-25% penalty when trying to identify a detected object) and cannot detect objects of less than 60,000 kg (this includes most variable fighters).

The Horizont is the smallest vessel in the REF fleet. Unlike the larger combat spacecraft, the Horizont is a troop carrier. Its purpose is to transport troops, mecha, and supplies to and from the battlefield. To accomplish these tasks, the shuttle carries two armoured supply bunkers which can be "dropped", detached, at landing. Troops and supplies can be unloaded while the Horizont flies into space to get another load/bunkers. The troop bunkers do not have to be detached for the troops to disembark; however, a "hot" landing zone (LZ) seldom offers the luxury of time to land, wait for the unloading and fly off without the shuttle taking damage. The detachable bunkers enable the Horizont to quickly land/hover, drop its two bunkers and fly to safety before the enemy has time to focus an attack. In many respects, the Horizont can be thought of as the space-age equivalent to the helicopter in the Vietnam War (Earth, circa 1964-70). The transport shuttle is operated by a pilot, copilot, two communications engineers and an Alpha and a Beta pilot. The crew is located in the nose of the spacecraft. If necessary, the nose can detach from the rest of the vessel, functioning as an emergency escape pod. The escape pod can function only in space (drops like a rock in atmosphere) and can accommodate only 5 or 6 additional human-size passengers. Inside the neck of the Horizont is a troop compartment which can hold 12 Cyclone riders (in armour) with the Cyclone mecha folded and stowed in compartments above each soldier. The rear section is all engine except for the passageway that connects to the Veritech Fighters attached to the belly of the Horizont. The two Veritechs represent the only defense and assault weapons at the shuttle's disposal. They are especially important when delivering troops or rescuing wounded in a "hot LZ," a landing area under heavy attack. As the shuttle makes its final landing approach, the Alpha and Beta (connected together) detach to lay down suppressing fire and distract the enemy. If the situation requires it, the Alpha and Beta act as two "combat" Huey helicopters engaging the enemy while a transport chopper picks up the wounded or drops off troops. Once the Horizon's job is done it leaves, with the two Veritechs flying escort. The Alpha and Beta can connect and reattach to the shuttle at any time.

The Regult Tactical Battlepod has been the workhorse of the Zentradi military for centuries. Light on armor, it makes up for it with heavy firepower and the fact that the Zentradi use the Battlepod as a attrition unit. Several variants of the Pod have been made, including two different Artillery models that replace the rear autocannons with short or medium range missiles, and a reconnaissance Pod that removes all of its weapons to make room for its advanced sensors. In space, the Pods are capable of extreme speeds in excess of Mach 9. On a planet, their top speed is only 175mph. All the models of the Tactical Battlepod have only 125 total MDC for their main body.








Next up is the Glaug Officers Pod used by the male Zentraedi officers. While slower than the Regult, it can still run circles around most of the RDF mecha on the ground with its running speed of 175mph. Flying in space, the Officers Pod is very slow, but it has a rocket booster sled that takes its slow flight speed of 150mph to over Mach 12, and makes it capable of atmospheric flight with speeds comparable to the Alpha. The Glaug has a main body MDC of 225.





The Male Power Armor is second only to the Tactical Battlepod in its ubiquity. Heavily armored by Zentradi standards, it is still much weaker than any of the RDF mecha in the field with its main body MDC of 250 points. It can fly in atmosphere at a speed of 400mph, but in space, the speed jumps up to Mach 9. Armed with a particle cannon and a grenade launcher, it is a lethal mecha, not to be underestimated by REF troops.





The Female Power Armor is, thankfully, a rare opponent on the battlefield. Armed with particle cannons and over 126 mini missiles, only the best of the Zentradi female aces get to operate this deadly weapon. Its in atmosphere flight speed is just over Mach 1, but in space this vehicle can race at over Mach 15, and with its main body MDC rated at 290 points, this is a serious threat to anyone going up against it.





The Aerospace Fighter Pod is the Zentraedi's main, ship based aerospace force projection fighter. Fast and rugged, it was produced by the tens of thousands by the Zentradi and it makes up the bulk of their air wings. With a space flight speed of over Mach 18, and its armament of cannon and 18 short range missiles, it would be a fearsome foe if its armor was stronger than the 150 MDC that it has.


The Quel-Quallie Recon Pod (aka Theater Scout) is the Zentraedi version of the human's AWACS aircraft. Capable of spaceflight (at a staggering speed of Mach 35), atmospheric operation (top speed of just over Mach 2), underwater (30 mph and is very noisy) and land operation on the four 'legs' (at a wobbly 40 mph), it represents a sizable threat. With a Main Body armor rating of 1,600 points, the Theater Scout is able to take a hit, and with its particle cannons and payload of 12 short range missiles, it is not a opponent to take lightly.

 



The Frandlar-Tiluvo Class Reentry Pod is a saucer shaped, heavy duty, trans-atmospheric troop carrier. Lightly armored with just 350 MDC, it makes up for it with its high speed (Mach 14) and its payload of up to 160 full sized Zentraedi in light or heavy combat armor, 90 mechanized troops (male or female powered armor), or 80 mixed Battle Pods.

Thuverl-Salan Class Destroyer is the most common ship of the Zentraedi fleet. Produced by the millions, these vessels represent a sizable threat to the safety and security of the UEDF. Report any and all sightings of these vessels to High Command immediately!


At over 7,000 feet long, the standard mecha complement of the Destroyer includes:


250 Fighter Pods,


1000 Battle Pods,


50 Officer Pods,


300 Powered Armor,


1500 Mechanized Infantry,


2 Recon Pods,


and 10 Reentry Pods.

The Alpha and Beta fighters are able to link together to form one larger, faster fighter. This makes the pair trans-atmospheric, and gives the pilots the ability to share control of flight and weapon systems. While linked, the Alpha can still transform into its Battloid mode, giving it the benefit of the Beta's speed and the ability to aim its gun pod off to one side. 





The Veritechs also come standard with a Cyclone mobile ride armor in a emergency storage bin as a emergency vehicle if the larger mecha is shot down or the pilot needs to dismount from the Veritech for a while.  It takes less than a minute to unload the Cyclone from storage and configure it for riding.

Length: 16 feet 4 inches
Weight: 16 tons dry
Cargo: Just enough room for a rifle and a survival pack

Weapon Systems
1. MDS-H-20 Ballista Long Range Missile Launchers (2): These are slimmed down versions of the original Derringer LRM system. The loss of significant weight, some armor and two missiles has allowed the Phalanx to nearly double its speed, and helped allow for the addition of the short range missile launcher system. Each Ballista launcher carries 10 long range missiles at the ready and ten more in the auto loading magazine.
Range: By long range missile type, typically 500 to 1000 miles
Mega Damage: by long range missile type
Rate of Fire: Singly or in volleys of 2, 4, 5, 10 or 20.
Payload: 40 total; 20 LRMs in each launcher
Note: The missiles used by the Ballista are radar-guided smart missiles that enjoy a +4 to strike. If the Phalanx is using targeting information from a Defender, GMU, or a reconnaissance vehicle, the pilot enjoys an additional +6 to strike.

2. MDS-L-24 Multiple Launch Missile Pod: Housed in the lower jaw of the main body/lower section, the cover on this launcher drops open to reveal a large capacity, short range missile launcher equipped with 24 missiles. Typical loadout is High Explosive Armor Piercing (HEAP), but any warhead can be used depending on mission requirements.
Range: 3-5 miles
Mega Damage: Varies by missile type, but typically using HEAP that cause 2d6x10 MD per missile
Rate of Fire: Singly or in volleys of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12.
Payload: 24 short range missiles.

3. Hand to Hand Combat
Kick: 3d6 MD
Stomp: 2d8 MD against targets under 10 feet tall
Jump Kick: 4d6 MD; counts as two attacks
Shoulder Block: 2d6 MD
Ram: 2d6 MD per 20 mph of running speed. Uses up two attacks and has a 60% chance of knocking down targets up to 50% bigger. Victims of knockdown lose initiative and two melee attacks.

Bonuses from MECT: +1 attack at levels 2, 6, 9, and 12. +1 to strike, +2 to dodge, and +3 to roll with impact

Weapon Systems
1. M-500 40cm Artillery Cannons (3): While everything about the Monster is smaller, this Destroid remains a massive piece of equipment. Its original auto-cannons have been replaced by three giant gauss cannons that use magnetic rings to accelerate the 40cm shells to incredible speed, and are often confused for energy cannons by those who see them fire. The cannons are auto-loaded from an internal magazine in the main body and can reach an elevation of 45 degrees without the pilot tilting the Monster’s hull. Maneuvering the Hull increases the maximum elevation to 70 degrees.
Range: 100 miles
Mega Damage: Varies according to load. The cannons fire the following kinds of rounds. Damage is listed for a single round; multiply by three if all cannons fire the same ordnance at the same target simultaneously.
Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS): Similar to the APFSDS rounds used in the original Monster, except there is no need for the stabilizing fins due to the incredible speed at which the round is fired.
Mega Damage: 4d6x10+6 MD
High Explosive Tungsten Jacketed (HETJACK): The tungsten shell on these rounds allow the weapon to fire explosive payloads for softer targets that are less vulnerable to kinetic penetrators.
Mega Damage: 3d6x10 MD to a 40 foot radius. Add 50% to the radius with each additional round fired, for a maximum of 80 foot radius when all three cannons are fired at the same target with these rounds.
High Explosive Airburst Rounds (HEAR): These are similar to HETJACKS, except that they are detonated by proximity fuses or are set to explode at a certain altitude, creating a deadly cloud of flak for se against flying targets.
Mega Damage: 3d6x10 MD to a 100 foot radius. Bonus: +1 to strike with these rounds; direct hits are not necessary making it easier to hit with these rounds.
Depleted Uranium Ferrous-Coated Incendiary Plasma (DUFCIP): These rounds have an explosive plasma core wrapped in depleted uranium. The plasma turns the depleted uranium, which is self-sharpening when it explodes, into deadly high speed shrapnel. These rounds are reserved for anti-personnel, since they have such low penetration but are highly destructive to lightly armored targets.
Mega Damage: 2d6x10 MD to everything within a 100 foot radius. Everything within 100 and 200 feet takes 1d6x10 MD. Flammable targets within the initial 100 feet burn, taking an additional 6d6 MD for 1d6 rounds.

Ammo Note: the new Monster uses no smoke rounds. Any need for smoke cover is supplied by missiles loaded for that purpose.
Rate of Fire: Each cannon can fire only twice per melee round.
Payload: The smaller, lighter rounds have dramatically increased the payload. The internal magazine holds a total of 90 rounds.
Bonus: +3 to strike ground targets, +1 to strike airborne targets.

2. HPC-50 Heavy Particle Beam Cannons (2): Replacing the missile launchers in the forearms are a pair of 50cm particle beam cannons that are incredibly powerful. Though they lack the range of the main cannons and missiles, they have a much higher rate of fire and are designed for attacking mid-range targets.
Range: 6 miles
Mega Damage: A single blast does 2d6x10 MD. A dual blast does 4d6x10 MD
Rate of Fire: Each blast takes up one melee attack

3. MMDS-12 Missile Launcher: Located in the center of the chest in the main body is a medium range missile launcher. Like its predecessor, it is typically loaded with surface to surface anti-armor missiles, but can load any missile depending on the mission.
Range: 50 to 80 miles, depending on missile type
Mega Damage: By medium range missile type, typically 3d6x10 MD
Rate of Fire: singly or in volleys of 2, 3, 4, or 6.
Payload: 16 total

4. DB2 Drum Bombs (2): Located in the forward section of the Monster are a pair of concealed drum bombs. One or both can be released to drop to the ground and left where they fall, or rolled over to a specified strategic location. Each drum bomb has a timing mechanism that can be set to detonate in moments, minutes or hours later or upon being moved or jostled after being set. Such bombs may be used to destroy enemy installations, punch holes into fortifications, take down bridges, destroy generators, or left behind as a booby-trap to destroy enemy troops or to make a diversion.
Weight: Each drum bomb weighs two tons.
Mega Damage: 3d4x100+100 MD to everything in a 500 foot diameter. This is ground zero. An additional 2d6x10 MD is unleashed upon everything within a 500 foot blast radius beyond the blast center.
Payload: two total

5. Hand to Hand Combat
Restrained Punch/Forearm Swat: 2d6 MD
Full Strength Punch: 5d6 MD
Power Punch: Not possible
Kick: 6d6 MD
Stomp: 1d6x10 MD to targets under 12 feet tall
Body Block/Ram: 1d6x10 MD

Bonuses from MECT: +1 attack per round at levels 2, 7, and 12. +1 to strike, +1 to parry, and +1 to pull punch.

MCR-68A1 105mm Cannon.  This is the same weapon that the first generation of Hover Tank used to great effectiveness.  Taken from that venerable design, the 105mm cannon can be used to replace the Alpha's Eu-13 hand held rifle, and on the Beta, it is underslung using a special housing located in the bomb bay.  This housing replaces the normal bomb load of the Beta, but leaves enough room for two more preloaded magazines for the heavy gun.  It does require the Beta to change into its Battloid mode to reload or switch magazines.


Range: varies by ammunition as described below.


Mega-Damage: varies by ammunition. The cannon can fire the following kinds of rounds:


Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). A round that uses a dart made of depleted uranium or tungsten to pierce enemy armor.


Range: 4 miles (6.4km)


Mega-Damage: 3d6x10 M.D.


High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT). A shell with a shaped charge warhead.


Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)


Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 M.D.


Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT). A HEAT round with an added proximity fuse to allow it to engage slow, low flying aircraft such as helicopters and for air bursts over targets.


Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)


Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 to a 50 foot (15.2m) radius


Canister. A shell filled with tungsten shot that acts like a giant shotgun shell for use against building, dug-in infantry, and thin-skinned vehicles.


Range: 2,500 feet (762m)


Mega-Damage: 1d8x10 M.D. to everything within a 25 foot (7.62m) area up to half range, 1d4x10 to everything within 50 feet (15.24m) area at full range.


High Yield Incendiary (Plasma). An extremely lethal anti-personnel round filled with super heated plasma.


Range: 1.5 miles (2.4km)


Mega-Damage: 2d8x10 M.D. to everything in a 25 foot (7.6m) area from the initial blast. Sets all combustible substances ablaze and continues to burn, doing an additional 4d8 M.D. per minute for 1d6+1 minutes.


Smoke. These shells emit billowing clouds of thick smoke and are used primarily for cover and to mark target zones. They come in black, white, red, green, and yellow, and make a cloud big enough to obscure an area 100 feet (30.5m) across.


Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)


Damage: none


Rate of Fire: Twice per melee round


Payload: 10 rounds, but the Beta has room in its modified bomb bay for another two (2) magazines

* Destroying the midships hull section takes out the Command Deck and eliminates all weapons controls, rendering the ship flyable but unable to fight.
** Destroying the aft section of the hull destroys the engines, setting the ship adrift.
*** Punching holes in the hull will cause the Damage Control System to automatically seal off whatever compartment has been exposed to vacuum. Ships are highly compartmentalized to prevent easy decompression of the whole ship.
**** Destroying the Bridge Tower destroys the Bridge. With the Bridge gone, the ship can still be commanded from the Central Command Deck.

Speed:
Hover: The ship can hover in atmosphere and is capable of VTOL launches.
Flying:
Atmosphere: The Shimakaze is more capable in atmosphere than most UEEF space vessels. Maximum atmospheric cruising speed at any altitude is 1,340 mph (2,144 km) or Mach 2. It can reach a max of near Mach 13 to escape atmosphere.
Space: Cruising speed of 6,850 mph (10,960 km) or Mach 9. Maximum speed is 15,224 (24,358 km) or Mach 20. Maximum interplanetary speed of approximately 1,676,700 mph (2,682,720 km or l/400th the speed of light) can be attained within 12 days of sustained acceleration (without the use of Hyperspace Fold Drives).
Maximum Range: Limited only by supplies. The Reflex Furnaces can carry enough Protoculture for up to ten years of standard operation, although shipboard expendable stores are only good for one year of constant deployment with a standard crew and troop complement. However, Protoculture fuel supplies can be quickly depleted through the use of Hyperspace Fold Drives. The drives generate a fold bubble up to one mile (1,609 km) across that can also carry other ships within range of the sphere. The amount of Protoculture expended with each fold depends on the diameter of the fold bubble generated and the distance traveled, up to a limit of 150 parsecs in a single jump. Trips longer than that require multiple folds.

Statistical Data:
Length: 1,797 feet (548 m).
Beam: 732 feet (223 m).
Height: 523 feet (159 m).
Weight: 750,000 tons fueled and provisioned.
Power Source: Three Reflex Furnaces powering four capital plasma thruster arrays and one Mk.IV Capital Space Fold Generator.

Weapon Systems
1. Type I Capital Class Synchro Cannon: This was the first Synchro Cannon ever installed onto a capital class UEEF starship, providing the ship incredible firepower and finally giving a UEEF ship-of-the-line the same punching power as a Zentraedi battlecruiser. While the weapon packed a nearly irresistible punch, both rate of fire and range suffered due to the drain on the ship's Reflex Furnaces.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Ship.
Secondary Purpose: Planetary Bombardment.
Weight: Not applicable. Part of the ship's hull.
Range: 75,000 miles (120,700 km) in space, but only 100 miles (160 km) in atmosphere.
Mega-Damage: Destroys EVERYTHING in its line of fire. A dodge and other evasive action is the only way to escape destruction.
Rate of Fire: Once every five minutes.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
Note: These weapons have difficulty hitting small, fast targets like mecha and aerospace fighter craft, and even ships as large as Horizon class transports.

2. HPC-SC320 Twin-Barreled, 320mm Particle Cannon Turret:
Before the ships were redesigned to house a Synchro Cannon, this weapon was intended to be the Shimakaze line’s main gun. While the ship's offensive power was to rely heavily on missiles, much like the old, seagoing Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers of the late 20th Century, this weapon provided combat flexibility, and by mounting it in a turret allowed the ship to maximize the use of its maneuverability without relying on a limited, forward-facing weapon.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Ship and Assault.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Installation and Defense.
Weight: Not applicable. Part of the ship's hull.
Range: 120 miles (192 km) in atmosphere, 960 miles (1,536 km) in space.
Mega-Damage: 2D6xl00 M.D. per single blast, 4D6xl00 M.D. per simultaneous double blast.
Rate of Fire: Twice per melee round (15 seconds).
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
Note: These weapons have difficulty hitting small, fast targets like mecha and aerospace fighter craft, and even ships as large as Horizon-class transports.

3. HM-1 Heavy Missile Launchers (30): These missile launchers line the midsection of the ship.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Ship.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Installation and Siege Fire.
Weight: Not applicable, part of the ship's hull.
Range: Per long-range missile; typically 500 miles (800 km); see missile descriptions in the Robotech®: The Shadow Chronicles® Role-Playing Game.
Mega-Damage: Per warhead; varies with type.
Rate of Fire: Each launch tube fires one missile at a time, but can fire combined volleys of up to 30 missiles.
Payload: Twelve in each of the 30 armored magazines, 360 total. The ship can carry another 360 missiles in its hold.

4. MLWS-60 Rapid-Fire, 60mm Point Defense Lasers (4):
An upgrade to the older MLWS-40s, four of these are mounted on either side of the bridge tower. These turrets are excellent anti-mecha weapons and do a reasonable job against the fast and
nimble Invid Fighter Scouts.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Mecha, Anti-Space Fighter.
Secondary Purpose: General Defense.
Weight: Not applicable, part of the ship’s hull.
Range: 6,000 feet (1,829 m).
Mega-Damage: 3D6x10 M.D. per single blast.
Rate of Fire: Each blast counts as one attack. Attacks per melee are equal to those of the “gunner” assigned to the weapon position, plus one (typically 4-6 attacks per melee round). Each laser is used to attack its own, independent target(s), and MLWS-60s seldom work in tandem with the other laser positions to fire upon the same target, as each gunner is typically given a “zone” to defend that optimizes his or her turret's firing arc.
Bonus: +2 to strike opponents from man-sized to mecha, fighters and shuttle craft.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.

5. Ship’s Systems of Note: Advanced avionics suite, IFF computer, tactical life support, escape pods for all crew and troops.
