==Orbital Targeting==
Whenever the headquarter ship wants to send an un-piloted craft (like a drop pod or a supply pod) to the surface, or whenever it wants to rain down death with a support weapon, it uses the rules for Orbital Targeting.

The ship’s sensor system has a targeting value, which works much like the pilots leadership for landings.  To see if the shot is on target, roll 2d6: If the result is under the targeting value, the shot hits.  If it is over the targeting value, it scatters 1d6” for each point it is over.  Some weapons have a “Standard Deviation” of a certain number of d6s.  For each point under the targeting value, reduce the standard deviation by 1d6.”  For each point over, add 1d6 to the standard deviation.  Unless otherwise noted in the weapon’s entry, any hits must be on the highest level of terrain above the center of the blast marker.
