Combat involving vehicles takes place on a larger scale. Characters and vehicles can be separated into different groups that are too far apart for normal long range attacks like shooting and blasting. Vehicles can easily move between groups, but characters can only move between groups by riding vehicles or escaping. | Combat involving vehicles takes place on a larger scale.

− | The bounty hunters Chokestar and Flipfire pursue outlaws with the Sadisto - a War Bird 1000 which bears the scars of bounties | + | The bounty hunters ''Chokestar (2 piloting, 3 wrestling, 3 stalking, 2 toughness, 1 tgh/2, 13 defense)'' and ''Flipfire (2 shooting, 2 healing, 2 fighting, 2 acrobatics, 2 toughness, 1 tgh/2, 12 defense)'' pursue outlaws with the ''Sadisto (3 stalking, 3 grapple, 5 spaceflight, 5 guns, 4 missiles, 2 range, 16 toughness, 8 tgh/2, 15 defense)'' - a War Bird 1000 which bears the scars of bounties its crew has collected over the years. |
+ | A ''War Bird 1000 (1 stalking, 1 grapple, 3 spaceflight, 3 guns, 2 missiles, 2 range, 16 toughness, 8 tgh/2, 13 defense)'' is civilian-class security-shuttle armed with gatling guns, light homing torpedoes, and a tow cable. It is has high speed thrusters and great maneuverability, and has life support capable of sustaining three crew members for two months. It also has security sensors that detect unexpected activity. | ||
− | Chokestar | + | The Sadisto is a standard War Bird 1000, but it has higher ability levels because Chokestar operates the vehicle, adding his piloting ability to the Sadisto's grapple, stalking and spaceflight abilities, and Flipfire is the vehicle's gunner, adding her shooting ability to the Sadisto's guns and missiles abilities. |

− | 2 | + | The notorious mutant-cyborg outlaw ''Breakhelm X-19 (1 piloting, 4 shooting, 4 fighting, 6 toughness, 3 tgh/2, 13 defense)'' pilots and controls the weapons of the ''Final Horizon (5 guns, 2 spaceflight, 4 range, 30 toughness, 15 tgh/2, 12 defense)'' a K90 Light Freighter he captured thirteen months ago. The Final Horizon is now used for piracy and smuggling. |
− | + | A K90 ''Light Freighter (1 guns, 1 spaceflight, 4 range, 30 toughness, 15 tgh/2, 11 defense)'' is an industrial-class cargo ship, meant for transporting medium sized loads or large numbers for personnel for long-range trips, and has artificial centrifugal-force gravity throughout most of the inhabitable portions of the ship. It has small defensive lasers meant for deflecting debris, but which can also be used for self-defense. | |
− | + | Aside from new secret rooms and compartments added for smuggling purposes, the Final Horizon is a standard K90 Light Freighter. It has higher ability levels because Breakhelm X-19 adds his piloting ability to the vehicle's spaceflight ability and his shooting ability to the vehicle's guns ability. | |

Combat begins as Chokestar and Flipfire catch up with outlaw Breakhelm X-19. Each vehicle is in it's own separate group. The Sadisto rolls a 7 for initiative for a total of 37 after adding 10 times it's 3 stalking ability. The Final horizon rolls 13 and has no stalking ability. So the Sadisto goes first. | Combat begins as Chokestar and Flipfire catch up with outlaw Breakhelm X-19. Each vehicle is in it's own separate group.
