==Cybernetics, Shells, Drones, and Vehicles==
*'''Synth Armature'''
**Some mechanical shells are built to be almost indistinguishable from more organic shapes, and the Synth is one such android form. A Synth is indistinguishable from a human without a medical examination or significant physical trauma to reveal its artificial workings. While a normal human shape is the baseline for a Synth, it is possible to build models with far more exotic and fanciful configurations that still appear organic.
**'''Basic Abilities''': A Synth does not suffer the usual mechanical shell penalty on Charisma skill checks, and can pass in areas where overtly mechanical shells might draw unwelcome attention. Their base Armor Class is only 10, however. A Synth’s artificial nature becomes obvious if it is reduced to zero hit points.
**'''Affinity Abilities''': A practiced Synth user can maximize their mechanical advantages, raising both Strength and Dexterity scores to 14, and gains a bonus 5 hit points. [1 Processing Point Committed for Affinity]
*'''Ancient VI - River Walk (cf8651)
*'''Ghostwalker Drone - Bittersweet Shimmer (BF4F51)'''
**15 AC, 1 HP, 5 km range
**fabricated from radar-transparent materials, Ghostwalker drones have an integral Sensor Transparency fitting and the sensor difficulty to spot them is 11 instead of 9.
**'''Grav Mufflers''': The drone is made exceptionally quiet in operation. It is now inaudible by ordinary hearing from more than five meters away.
**'''Holoskin''': The drone can drop a filmy hologram over it- self, one convincing at a distance. The difficulty of visually spotting the drone becomes 10 at weapons range or 12 at observational range. Weapons fire always draws attention.'''
*'''Free Merchant''' - '''Rowanfruit (DA5C33)'''
**Speed: 3, Armor: 2, HP: 20, Crew: 1/6, AC: 14, Power: 6/10, Mass: 10/15, Hardpoints: 1/2, Class: Frigate
**'''Fittings''':
***'''Atmospheric configuration''' - A ship designed for atmospheric flight can land on most solid or aqueous surfaces. [1 Mass]
***'''Smuggler's hold''' - Carefully-designed storage space in- tended to conceal illicit cargo from customs inspection. Each installation of this fitting adds 2 tons of cargo space in a frigate. Cargo in a smuggler’s hold will never be found by a standard customs inspection. Careful investigation by a suspicious official can find it on a difficulty 10 check using their Wis/Notice skill, and a week-long search one step short of disassembly will find it on a difficulty 7 check. [1 Mass]
***'''Drive-2''' - A spike drive can travel as many hexes as its rating - Drive-2 means it can travel up to 2 hexes per jump.[1 Mass, 1 Power]
**'''Defenses''':
***'''Hardened Polyceramic Overlay''' - A complex glazing process can harden the surface of a ship’s armor to more effectively shed incoming attacks, decreasing the armor-piercing quality of any hit by 5 [1 Mass]
**'''Weapons''':
***'''Sandthrower''' - Projecting a spray of tiny, dense particulate matter, sandthrowers are highly effective against lightly-armored fighters. [2d4 damage, 3 Power, 1 Mass, 1 Hardpoint, Flak]
