Despite their threats and posturing, they have yet to disintegrate the Earth, just a few ships here and there.

These winged aliens, long thought extinct by the Europans, were just hiding and waiting for the time to emerge. Their culture is based around competing philosophies of martial virtues and pragmatism, and they promise to change the balance of power in the Jovian System. | + | '''Jovians''': the depths of Jupiter have many secrets, but one has been uncovered.

'''Martians''': Martians are different than the others. If the Europans are Elves in attitude, then the Martians are Elves in sub-species. Millennia ago, a near-extinction event on Mars resulted in the creation of the Martian caste system. This involved the creation of actual subspecies of Martian divided by caste, only fertile within their own caste. They all lay claim to the name "Martian" but there's more to them than that. There's more specific nuance to it all because there's quite a bit about Martian politics and bureaucracy but the seven types of Martian are... | '''Martians''': Martians are different than the others.

Halve the Space Speed (round down) but count full atmosphere speed, including Speed Mods. Reduce Engergy to Half Size. Most also that the Short Term Life Support Mod. Adds Size back in additional Mods || n/a || 50% base cost | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | '''Passenger Pods (U)''': Small and Medium ships only. These are rows of fairly spacious seats with safety harnesses, personal vid-screens, and other amenities designed for short travels (typically less than 24 hours). Full life support and a days worth of food and water is also include for each passenger. Each pod seats 20. || 2 || $10K | ||

− | | ''' | + | | '''Sensor Suite, Galactic (1)''': Light, chemical, motion, and other active sensors allow detection of targets up to one light year away with a ''Electronics'' roll. Sensors can also detect Spike Drive warping out to 5 light years with a check (+2 within 1 light-years; or -2 out to 10 light years). Can also aid ''Science'' rolls for planetary data when in orbit. Within 10K miles, the sensors add +2 to the roll. Illumination penalties are ignored. Targets don’t have to be in direct line of sight, but asteroid or powerful energy fields may cause inaccurate or false readings at the GM’s. discretion. || 2 || $1M |

− | | ''' | + | | '''Shields (3)''': The craft is protected by an ablative energy field that absorbs its Size in damage each time it is hit before applying the damage to the ships Toughness (and armor). The shields can take a maxmimum of 10×Size per mods (1/2 Size) in points of damage before it’s depleted. Active shields detonate missiles and torpedoes before they hit, reducing their damage total by half. A craft may regenerate its Size in shield points if it makes no attacks in a round || ½ Size || $50K xSize |

| '''Speed Reduction (3)''': This ship trades power and speed for additional room. Each time this mod is taken, reduces the ship's speed by 1 and gain one-half the ship's Size in Mod slots. Cannot be taken with Speed and the minimim speed is 1 unless it is stationary (like a space station) || n/a || n/a | | '''Speed Reduction (3)''': This ship trades power and speed for additional room.

− | | '''Stealth System (1)''': Radar-absorbing paint, heat baffles, scramblers, and other devices make the ship difficult to detect by vision or sensors. Those trying to spot, attack, (or lock on to) the ship subtract 4 from their rolls. The effect is triggered as a free action, but is negated any round in which the ship fires a weapon or emits some other nonstealth signal such as radio signal or active sensor search. || Size || $10K xSize | + | | '''Statis Field Sleeping Pods (U)''': These add statis tubes that can sustain a human life for years (theoretically) and can be added to both vehicles and starships (and found in a few medical facilities planet side). Each unit holds 4 individuals whom can be keep within for long term without requiring food, water and oxygen. Each unit of pods uses one Energy of the vessel per month (30 days) that it is running. || 1 || $50K |

+ | | '''Superstructure (U)''': Superstructures are massive extensions that add great amounts of space to Greater Size or larger ships, typically to accommodate more passengers or cargo. Each superstructure adds one to the fuel used per day, consumes 10 regular Mods, and subtracts 1 from the ship’s base Toughness (not Armor) as it reduces overall structural integrity. Choose the type from the Superstructure sidebar (SFC pg. 47). || 10 || $5M | ||

+ | | '''Targeting System (1)''': The ship’s internal sensors and computers are linked to all attached weapons. This compensates for movement, range, multi-actions, and the like, negating up to four points of ''Shooting'' penalties. || 1 || $10K xSize | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | '''Tractor Beam (U)''': Tractor beams are specialized starship weapons designed to hold an enemy ship in place and pull it to the “attacker”. Ships can only affect vessels of smaller Size. Their range is short or 4 on the starship scale, so they must get a Short Range result on the Chase table to use the weapon. This is an opposed attacker's ''Electronics'' roll at –4 vs the target’s ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' or ''Piloting''. If the attacker is successful, the enemy ship is caught and pulled into contact in 2d6 rounds. A captive’s ship’s life support systems remain active, but all locomotion and weapons are shut down. || 5 || $1M | ||
