=== STARSHIPS ===
Starships have Resistant to all weapon or magic damage except by Super-Heavy weapons with AP weapon property.</br>
Changes from Vehicles for Starships and Capital Starships features…</br>
'''Cover''': all spacecraft provide full cover by default (so not listed in their features).</br>
'''Speed''': the second speed in parentheses is Space Scale.</br>
'''Energy''': Instead of powercells, use a special combination of fusion engines and super batteries. See Starship Maintenance and Upkeep later. In normal operations a ship uses 1 energy point per day of operation. In combat, each ‘powered’ weapon also costs the vehicle one energy point at the end of the engagement.</br>
'''Life Suppor'''t: is the number of days of oxygen, food and water that the ship is carrying for the standard number of crew and passengers. In an emergency situation crew can double this duration but all crew and passengers gain one persistent level of exhaustion.</br>

==== Starship Navigation ====
In order to successfully plot a course between two points and engage a StarCaster requires a Computer Use skill check. The StarCaster engine rips a pair of holes or points between realspace and the Umbral Shadow (these tears are referred to as ‘Fissures’) that instantly teleports the ship from one present tears locations to the new one within real space. To plot a basic course requires a '''DC15''' Computer Use and 2d6 minutes of time. If the plotter wants to rush this, it could try to plot a course as an Action but the '''DC''' increases to 20. If the plotter wanted to take its time it could instead take one hour to plot its course and lower to '''DC10'''.

Distance also have a factor on the plotting '''DC'''. Use the base '''DC''' if plotting a course within the same starship (say teleporting from the main habitable planet to its asteroid belt in the outer system), and for every 10 light years distance increase the '''DC''' by +3 out to 50 light years (for +15 to the '''DC''') maximum. A starship A.I. can hold a number of course plots within its memory banks equal to its Intelligence modifier. Additional ones could be stored in external memory but it takes an hour to upload and replace one. If the A.I. has the plot data for a jump, it can plot the course itself or it can grant advantage to the plotter check.

Failure of this check can have a number of results. Most will damage the StarCaster, meaning that it is no longer operational and will require repair (generally 1d6 x10% of the base cost of the StarCaster itself and 1d6 x Mods days to fix). GM has the final say but other common occurrences are ending up in a random location or lost in space maybe even within the Umbral Shadow!!

After a starship has reemerged from the Umbral Shadow it takes 2d6 hours +1d6 hour per 10 light years teleported for the engines to recharge before another teleport can be made. One can shortened this by increasing the plotting '''DC''' by +2 per one less hour. However failure results in 1d6 damage per HD of the ship (ignores hardness and resistance) and the StarCaster is damaged as above.

What is the '''''Umbral Shadow'''''? It is this universes cross between the Shadowfells and Astral Space. It is almost pitch black but there are shapes and living creatures that can be found here. It allows the vessels to teleport over vast distances with StarCaster engine.

'''Energy''': Costs 500 credits x each Energy point recharged/refueled x the ship’s mods.</br>
'''Life Support Resupply''': Basic provisions cost 15 credits x days of life support x crew & passengers.</br>
'''Maintenance''': Every six months, ships require repair and refit. Costs 1,000 credits x ship’s mods (includes engines and other systems).</br>
'''Repairing HP Damage''': Costs 50 credits x the damage repaired (in spare parts) x the ship’s mods.</br>
