==BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE SETTING/HISTORY==
This is a bit of a mix between FASA old Star Trek, the Cartoon, Starfleet Battles/Prime Directive and some of the changes that have happened to the Cannon over the years and various shows. To get a feel on where everything fits, TOS was set around the 2260’s, the first three movies around the 2280’s and Star Trek VI set around 2295 the present setting for the game BUT very different…</br>
Around the turn of the 21st century environment problems caused many of the major powers of the '''Earth''' to start a limited scale war over resource, food, clean water, etc. From this, someone created various superhuman soldiers to help with their wars. These men and women were stronger, faster, smarter, better conditions than normal humans but they were flawed in one important way – they were supremely arrogant in not only their own abilities but their right to rule over everyone lesser then them. This caused the '''''Eugenic Wars''''' that almost destroyed the planet. In the end (sometimes around the 2050’s) the various supermen where killed or imprisoned. There were rumors some escaped into outer space but not generally believed.</br>
The world’s governments were mostly destroyed and small localized powers where all the remained at least for the next ten years or so as the people recovered. Much of this changed in 2063 when an independent scientist by Zefram Cochrane, launched his experimental warp transport for the first time. The '''Vulcans''', who happened to be passing close by, detected this warp signature and initiated first-contact between the two races. The Humans started exploring outward fairly quickly and inspired and united by Cochrane and the appearance of the Vulcans lead to the formation of a world government (first called the '''Earth Alliance'''). For the next hundred years the Earthlings made contact with the '''Andorians''' and '''Tellarites''' and greatly expanded trade and shared scientific research. While most of these contacts where fairly peaceful the Earthlings also first encountered the '''Romulans Empire''', which lead to war. The two side never meet face to face and the Romulans came close to destroying the Earth. In the end a peace treaty was negotiated between to two powers creating the ''Romulan Neutral Zone'' over sub-space raido (as the Rumulans still refused to meet or even be seen by their enemies). The Romulans retreated behind their borders for almost 100 years before reappearing to the Fedeatrion.</br>
At the end of this war in 2161, the Earthlings pushed for the formation of a '''United Federation of Planets''' to be created and to include all of Earth’s colonies along with the Vulcans, the Andorians and the Tellarites. Within a year of its formation they also created '''Starfleet''' which would be a mutual defense and research group that would aid all members of the Federation. Both of these institutes are based on Terra but each member has extensive representatives here and on offices on their home-worlds. Starfleet in the early years was made up individual world’s ships based on common designs and crew by individual races with a few special individuals serving on other racial ships. Over the last century and a half most ships have become even more uniformed as the members of shared their technology with each other extensively.</br>
During this period the Federation explored their region of space extensively and encountered many new species of intelligence beings, although not all had reached warp-capacity yet. There was no ''Prime Directive'' at first and Starfleet make it up as they went along. They also encountered the '''Klingons Empire'''. At first they were non-aggressive towards the Federation but there were a few border disputes. Two other species that had resulted in hostilities right away where the large cat like beings known as the '''Kzin Hegemony''' and non-humanoid '''Tholians Assembly'''. With the Kzin the Federation fought a short but bloody war that lead to the empires surrender and serious restricts placed onto their society. With the Tholians after the initial hostile encounters negotiated a peace and non-interface treat with the Assembly and a promise not to cross their board.</br>
The Klingons became more aggressive when dealing with the Federations in the 2220-40’s that lead to a breakout of full scale war (the '''''Four Year War''''') in 2248. Both side suffered horrible loses in both lives and resources such that they signed a peace treaty that established a thin ''Klingon Neutral Zone'' between them in 2252. This created something like a cold war until 2267 when the Empire crossed the Neutral Zone to invade the planet '''Organia'''. Hostiles had almost broken out when suddenly the natives of the world revealed themselves to be highly advanced incorporeal beings whom instantly incapacitated both sides and imposed the '''''Organian Peace Treaty'''''.</br>
Other hostile races had been encountered in the following years including the '''Gorn Confederation''' and '''Hydran Kingdom'''. The Federation fought small scale wars with both before signing various eace treaties with them. This created some stability for the next two decades and the Federation and Starfleet focused much of its resources to exploration and research.</br>
In 2291 this all changed when the Kzin sent a pirate like fleet in attacks against both the Klingons and Gorn regions, along with the Federation. Their ships where disguised as Starfleet’s in both Klingon and Gorn space, along with Klingon’s in Federation space. This led the three governments to being open war between them (the Organians seeming to have disappeared two years earlier) and the Romulans, Hydran and Tholians to also attack their borders with the Federation, testing its strength. By the time peace was achieved two years later most sides had lost millions (if not more) of lives and untold resources. The Kzin were severely punished by the Federation and Klingons and to this day they are not allowed warp capable ships and most starship weapons. They must rely on others for starship travel and trade even within their worlds of control.</br>
This would come to be called the '''''General War''''' (or First General War) and all sides seem to be ready for peace again but also many lingering distrust and hatred among the various governments and citizens of the region. </br>
The game is set in 2295, two years after the war’s end. While there is an uneasy peace throughout the quadrant there are new threats that could shatter this. </br>
The recent destruction of the Klingon moon '''Praxis''' which has resulted in the destruction of the Klingon’s home world of '''Kronos''' ozone layer that has thrown the Empire into turmoil. Starfleet '''Intelligence''' fears that of two factions forming in the turmoil, those that wish to sue for peace and those who wish to seize vital worlds for the Empire to conquer and resettle, that the hostile faction is the most influential right now. Despite their concerns, Starfleet and the Federation Diplomates both have a strong delegations presence in the Empire working hard towards peace. Intelligence is also worried (of coures) that the '''Orions''' and Romulans both do not want this peace and are activelly working against it. </br>
Another problem is the '''Zinn Collective'''. These are a nomadic humanoid xenophobic race whose scout ships have been encountered by Starfleet on the very edge of Federation space. These encounters have been hostile as the Zinn ships have attacked without warning and have refused most hails and offers to negotiate. Starfleet Intelligence again believes that the Zinn Collective is made up a billions of beings on the huge world ships that have yet to enter Federation space but seem to be on a direct heading towards a number of colonies and planets of primitive sentient species under the Prime Directives protection. The Zinn seem to be seeking suitable worlds to colonize themselves and their apparent hatred of all other species is very concerning.</br>
Two other major issues have also become concerns of Starfleet – the first are reports from '''Starbase 47''' (the ''Vanguard'') about major troubles within the '''Taurus Reach''' between them and the Tholians who have ordered all colonies within the Reach to be immediately removed. The Tholians had never made claim to this region of space before when it was settled some 10 years ago and includes some 20 colonies and another 60 outposts. The Klingons and Gorn both also have boarders along this region and this has peeked their interest in the region as to why. The other issue is Orion pirates have been making increasing raids within both the Federation and Klingon Empire using Kzin as shock troopers to terrorize their targets. The Orion government claims these pirates to be reneges and has publicly denounced them but Starfleet Intelligence is not convinced.</br>
Unknown to the Federation or Starfleet at large is a new treat of the '''Seltorian Tribunal Swarm'''. The Seltorians resemble large humanoid insects. This species sees all other sentient beings as possible food sources and hosts for the lava spawns that eat their way out of the host when they hatch. The Tribunal travel in large hive fleets that have raved multiple worlds just outside of known space of the present local powers.</br>
There is also the mystery of where the Organians have disappeared to. Starfleet Intelligence believes that it might be another even more powerful race of beings. They have had multiple dealings with these so-called Godlike aliens before and this could be one of them interfering, but why?</br>

The Andorians are a blue skinned bipedal humanoids with two antenna on their foreheads that grant them heightened alertness. Within Starfleet they often serve on Andorian vessels only because they are not comfortable in most humanoid environmental conditions but there are many famous exceptions.

They have only recently joined the Federation and there are few members of the species serving in Starfleet. However a number of students have recently joined the Starfleet Academy so it is expected that more and more will be seen throughout the Fleet, serving in various functions.

Theirs is a culture noted for being abrasive and argumentative, with a stubborn pride, quick tempers, and little patience. However, this is only a superficial view: while Tellarites are argumentative, it comes from a sense of intellectual honesty and rigorous skepticism. To a Tellarite, no idea, concept, or person is beyond challenge or analysis, and any notion that cannot stand up to scrutiny is an unworthy one. Tellarites revel in debates, and tend to greet one another with criticisms, complaints, and even insults; failing to respond in kind is poorly-regarded, as it displays a weakness of character and an unwillingness to confront flaws.
:Tellar Prime is a very geological activite planet with wildly different environments. This lead early Tellarites as a species to developt a strong adaptive resistance to a wild ranged of conditions.
:'''Driven''' (Minor) [-1]: Tellarite are driven by the need to question and debate. This can come off as stubborn or arrogant but those that understand them understand that they question everything.

The Vulcans themselves are a stoic, rational people. Widely claimed to be emotionless, inmtruth the Vulcans feel deeply and intensely, to their own detriment. Their stoicism comes from a culture of logic and self-discipline, where emotions are analyzed and dissected to rob them of their potency, so that they cannot overwhelm or control the individual. Vulcans embrace science and reason, but their lives are not purely devoted to logic: they also have a deeply philosophical side, with art and music as vital to their culture as logic. They are also an intensely private people, with many aspects of their culture — such as the rites of pon farr — which are not discussed amongst outsiders.
:'''Bright''' [2]: base Smarts of a d6 and maximum starting of a d12+1.

===PSIONICS===
While the powers section from SWADE are ok as is, it does not completely reflect how Psionics works in Star Trek. First and foremost, psionics cannot share their psionic powers with others. The number of powers available is also limited.</br>

The most commonly known powers are Mind Link, Mind Reading and Mind Wipe. Anyone taking the psionic powers arcane background must chose at least one of these as one of their starting powers.</br>

The following powers are not allowed in Star Trek – Banish, Barrier, Blast, Bolt, Lower Trait, Burrow, Burst, Damage Field, Divination, Entangle, Fly, Growth/Shrink, Intangibility, Resurrection, Shape Change, Summon Ally, Telekinesis, Teleport, Wall Walker or Zombie. These powers not normally allowed for most characters or normally encounters but can still be found among powerful godlike beings and super psionics.</br>

'''Modified Powers''' Arcane Protection, Boost Trait, Darksight, Environmental Protection, Farsight, Invisibility, Protection, Relief, Sloth, Speed, Smite, Read Language and Warrior’s Gilt – all change to Range: Self only.</br>

Drain Power Points, Fear, Mind Link and Mind Reading, Mind Wipe, Puppet, Slumber and Stun – all change that they suffer a -2 Penalty and a increase in Power Points of +1 for user with range greater then Touch. </br>

NEW POWER</br>
'''SUGGESTION'''</br>
'''Rank''': Novice</br>
'''Power Points''': 2</br>
'''Range''': Smarts</br>
'''Duration''': Instant</br>
'''Trappings''': Implant Suggestion and Thoughts</br>
:''Suggestion'' allows you to make unbelievable suggestions that do not threaten the target. Make an opposed Psionic vs. Spirits roll, on success the target believes your lie or follows your suggestion like it was his idea. You can also make a small illusion that distracts your target. Make a Psionic test, on success your target is distracted for one round and you may attempt a Stealth roll even if he was watching you before or you can attempt to get ‘The Drop’ on him. Your target gets a Notice check (-4 if you scored a raise on your Psionic test) to avoid surprised.</br>
:*'''Additional Targets''': The same suggestion can be sent to additional targets with range for every additional Power Point. Each resists the suggestion separately against the original test.

==PERSONAL GEAR==
You can purchase items from he core SWADE rulebook (as per a Wealth die check. see SWADE pg. 147)  
===STANDARD STARFLEET GEAR===
The following are some of the more common various of hand devices and technology employed by Starfleet.</br>
'''Adhesive Patches''': small squares made of the same material as enviromental and space suits, adhesive patches are a quick puncture repair kit for both environmental suits and vacuum suits.

Wt. 2lbs, Price -1 (-2 for Specialized units).</br>

===PROTECTIVE GEAR===
This includes armor and environmental protection. Armored protection is fairly rare in Starfleet and most of the other local species due to the advent of such advanced weapons. There are still some cases of it being employed by specialized units such as Starfleet Security and the Marines.</br>

'''Laser''': weapons are one of the earliest energy weapons available, used in the very early days of Starfleet but were phased out around 80 years ago. The use internal Energy Cell. For pistols the price of a replacement cell +2 and wt. ¼lb. For rifles they are price +1 and wt. 1lb each. Use rules Cauterize, Overcharge and No Recoil. </br>
'''Plasma''': weapons are also a fairly primitive energy weapon that in Starfleet up until 10-15 years ago and replaced by phaser technology. They use external power packs that are attached to the weapon and the users belt via a power cable. The pistol's replacement cell costs +1 and wt. 2lbs each. For the rifle they cost +0, and wt. 5lbs each. Use rules Cauterize and Overcharge.</br>
[[File:SWADE.STPD.Phaser.jpg | 300px | right]]
'''Phaser''': are one of the most advanced forms of energy weapon and really only used by Starfleet and the Federation. Phasers allow the user to set the weapon on different settings. Base deals 1d6 and uses one shot. This can be used to heat surfaces or even as an energy drill (causing 3d6 damage and AP 10 for every minute held up next to a surface). The 'Kill' setting deals 3d6 base damage and uses 3 shots, while 'Heavy Kill' deals 6d6 damage and uses 10 charges. Heavy Kill counts as a Heavy Weapon. Heavy Kill also uses the Disintegrate rule. Phasers can also be set on ‘Stun’ where target must make a Vigor trait check (-2 with a raise) for 1 shot or ‘Heavy Stun’ requiring a Vigor -3 check (-5 with a raise) and uses 3 shots. There is also wide beam option that changes the range to 0 and uses a Blast template and uses +3 shots for any of the above settings (all but Heavy Kill setting). All kill-settings use the Cauterize rules and all settings use the No Recoil rules. Phasers use an internal Energy cell. A replace cell for a Type I palm pistol cost +0 and wt. ½lb each, a Type II pistol costs -1 and wt. ½lb each. For the Tyoe III rifle is costs -2 and wt. 2lbs each.</br>
'''Disruptor''': are also fairly advanced energy weapons but they do not have the flexibility of phasers. However they are cheaper to develop and maintain and as such are very common outside of the Federation in the time leading up the '''''First General War'''''. A disruptors can also deal ‘Heavy Kill’ setting dealing 3d10 damage and using 10 shots. Heavy Kill counts as a Heavy Weapon and uses the Disintegrate rules. Disruptors use internal Energy Cells. Replacement pistol cells cost +1 and wt. 2lbs each.. For rifles price is +0 and wt. 5lbs each.</br>

Energy Weapon Rules...
*'''''Cauterize''''': Anyone Incapacitated by a this weapon adds +2 to his Vigor rolls to keep from Bleeding Out.
*'''''Overcharge''''': These weapons can overcharge to cause an extra +1d base damage dice, but if any of the ''Shooting'' dice of a 1, the weapon must cool down for a full round before it can be fired again.
*'''''No Recoil''''': These weapons ignore the Recoil penalty.
*'''''Disintegration''''': if a phaser's or distrutor's damage deals more wound that the target can normally take (i.e. a Extra taking 2 wounds while a Wild Card suffering 4 wounds) it disintegrate them (Wild Cards that soak even one wound are not disintegrated).

==SFC UPDATES==
These modification and notes are from the Science Fiction Companion, to bring them in line with Star Trek and the Adventure edition of Savage Worlds. Acceleration is no longer used. Climb is replaced by Handling.</b>

Starfleet and the Federation enjoy a high enough technology level that their vehicles and ships use the normal Modifiers for a vessel of its size listed below. The Gorn, the Zinn and the Seltorian are at around the same technological level as the Federation and also use these Mod spaces. The Klingons and Romulans are not as advanced and instead have only 80% of a vessel’s basic Mods listed (round to the nearest). The Tholians and the Hydran are more advanced and should receive 50% over a vessel’s base Mods.</b>
For other races it depends but the heroes may or maynot have an idea on how advanced another species might be.

'''Starship Notes'''</br>
For Tabletop combat in Space 'Impulse' is the squares are the same as table top personal combat. This is how may squares (or inches) it can move each round.  Also the Space Scale speed of a vessel is about how may AU it can travel in am hour. If measured in planetary scale x the Speed by 100 miles per hour.</br>

Ship Scale Penalties: For every +/-8 in Size scale, -2 to the larger vessel's attack rolls and add +2 to the smaller ships attacking rolls.</br>

Warp Drive Navigation: Plotting a Warp course a ''Science'' skill check at -1 per 20 lightyears to destination and takes 1d6 minutes.</br>

===MODIFIERS===
These are the basic Modifiers that can be added to any vessel (federation or otherwise). They maybe called different things but they tend to operate the same. 

Mods (x) is how many times it maybe taken; i.e. 1=Once, U=unlimited, etc. (up to all the mods the vehicle has) 
{| class="wikitable" border="0"
| '''Updated Starship Mods''' || '''Mods'''  
|-
| '''AMCM (1)''': Anti-Missile Counter Measures are integrated jammers and decoys. They add +2 to ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' checks made to evade missile and torpedo locks and attacks plus skill checks to avoid Tractor Beams. || 1
|- 
| '''Armor (U)''': Increases a ship’s Armor value by +4. Due to the nature of space and the size and shape of starships, all Armor is considered Heavy Armor. || 1 per 10 Size 
|-
| '''Artificial Intelligence (1)''': The ship’s AI (or Ship's Computer) can operate all systems— from locomotion to weapons to opening or closing hatches. It has a skill level of d10 in these tasks, but is an “Extra” and does not receive a Wild Die. The AI does not suffer from multi-action penalties if given simultaneous tasks. In combat, the AI acts on the captain’s Action. Giving the AI a short verbal command is a free action.|| 2
|-
| '''Atmospheric (1)''': Allows the ship to enter planetary atmospheres. This includes heat shielding and additional work to handle the stress and strain of entry. All starships have vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability. || ½ Size 
|-
| '''Crew Space (U)''': "Living space" for an additional 4 long term crew or passengers, including sleeping area, kitchen, rec area, oxgen and food requirements etc. || 1 
|-
| '''Deflector Screens (1)''': vessel is protected by an energy field that deflects incoming ballistic and phsyical missile attacks (it has no effect against lasers, pasma or phasers). Attackers must subtract –2 from their ''Shooting'' rolls. Mod cost is 1 for Small to Large ships, 2 for Huge to Gargantuan vessels, and 3 for all larger vessels. It is also important for ship's traveling at warp speed as it 'pushes' debris etc. out of the vessel's path || 1/2/3
|-
| '''Electromagnetic Shielding (3)''': Adds +10 to the ship’s effective Toughness vs. EMP attacks. || 1 per 10 size
|-
| '''Energy Reserves (U)''': Impluse drives and back up fussion banks can provided additional energy to the ship. Each energy reserve adds 100% of the standard Energy rating to the ship || ¼ Size
|-
| '''Fewer Crew or Passengers (U)''': For every 8 fewer crew or passengers the ship has, it gains an additional 1 modifer. || n/a 
|-
| '''Fixed (U)''': “Fixed” weapons cannot rotate. On the table-top, they have a 45° firing arc. Fixed weapons must chose an arc -- Forward, Port (left), Starboad (right), Aft (back). For ships that are 14 or greater can only fire at most craft with weapons facing that side (arc). Smaller ships can make a contested ''Pilot'' skill test, beating the target ship grants two arc or they face the worst arch of weapons (winner's choice), a raise three aches and two raises all arch in the same round. Total all like Fixed weapons first, then halve their combined Mod cost. || n/a  
|-
| '''Handling (2)''': The vehicle is precision crafted and very maneuverable. Add +1 to the vessel's Handling score. || ¼ Size
|-
| '''Hanger Bays (U)''': A small hangar (or garage) can carry up to two size 6 vehicles or one size 8 vessels or vehicles. For double the mods can carry up to ten size 6 or five size 8 vessels or one size 12 vessel. || 5 or 10
|-
| '''Impulse Drive Enhancer (U)''': each level increase the base speed by +1. || ¼ Size
|-
| '''Impulse Speed Reduction (3)''': This ship trades power and speed for additional room. Each time this mod is taken, reduces the ship's Impulse 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
|-
| '''Life Support (1)''': base is 365 days for base crew and passengers for ¼ Size in mods. To increase to 3 ½ years (1,368.75 days) is ½ Size in mods and for 5 years (1,825 days) is Size in mods. Emergency Life support can be added for twice the base duration for half the Mod (round down). Short Term Supplies last for a week with all standard crew and passenger uses 1 mod per 10 ten passengers (round down, min 1). || see text
|-
| '''Linked Weapons (U)''': Up to four direct-fire weapons (non-missiles) of the same type may be linked and fired as one, increasing the damage by +4 per additional weapon and reducing the total number of Mods required -- total all Linked weapons in a set first, then halve their required Mods (If Linking Fixed weapons, halve the total again) || n/a 
|-
| '''Luxury Areas (U)''': Found only on Huge or larger ships, this might be a restaurant, commissary, or specialty store. Each increases crew and/or passengers moral by +1 || 5 
|-
| '''Missile Launcher (U)''': Allows up to four Light or two Heavy missiles to be fired at once. || 1 
|-
| '''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). Each pod seats 20. || 2
|-
| '''Reinforce Structure (Size)''': Each time this mod is taken add +2 to the ship's Toughness. || ¼ Size
|-
| '''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 Warp Speed 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
|-
| '''Sensor Suite, Planetary (1)''': This functions exactly like the Sensor Suite (SFC p. 16) but has a range of 10K miles. It can also detect Warp Speed at 1 lght year away. || 1 
|-
| '''Shields (¼ Size)''': The vessel protected by an ablative energy field that absorbs the ship’s Size x10 point of damage before being depleted. The threshold, or maximum amount of damage that the shield can stop from each individual shot is the ship’s Size. Apply this damage first and all remaining to the vessel. Each additional time this Mod is taken add an additional amount of maximum damage to the shield equal to the ship’s Size x5 and increase the threshold by ¼ the ship’s Size. Shields detonate missiles and torpedoes before they hit, reducing their damage by ½ (but see EMPs). A craft regenerates ½ is Size back in points on any round that it does not suffer any damage. || ¼ Size 
|-
| '''Stealth System (1)''': Not true Cloaking tech. 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
|-
| '''Superstructure (U)''': Superstructures are massive extensions that add great amounts of space to Large or greater Size 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 p. 47). || 20
|-
| '''Sub-Space Radio (1)''': This communicators travel at Warp 15 but even so Starship far from base can take many hours to send and receieve messages back || 1
|-
| '''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
|-
| '''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
|-
| '''Transporters (Standard)''' (U): Can transport 6 size 0 targets up to 100 miles. This is an ''Electronics'' skil check and various factors can add bonuses or penalties to this roll. Generally takes 2d6 rounds to program a safe teleport. -2 to the check for just 2 rounds or -4 to the check for just one round. || 1
|-
| '''Transporters (Emergency) (U)''': Used for emgencies only. Can transport 22 size 0 creatures at a time up to 100 miles but the basic ''Electronics'' skill roll is at -2 (and could be more). The standard time to program a emergency transport is 1d6 rounds. To do it in one rounds is an additional -2 to the check. || 3
|-
| '''Transporters (Cargo) (U)''': Cargo only with the transporters able to handle up to 50 tons at a time with a range of 100 miles. To transport living beings is a base -2 to the ''Electronics'' skill roll. Standard time to program a safe transport is 1d6 minutes. || 3
|-
| '''Torpedo Launch Tube (U)''': Each tube allows a torpedo to be fired each action (ROF 1). || 1
|-
| '''Torpedo Tubes. Advanced (U)''': These tubes have a ROF of 3. || 2
|-
| '''Warp Drives (1)''': The Federation has access to six levels of Warp Drive at this time. Type I - cruising speed warp 4, emergency warp 6; Type II - cruising speed warp 5, emergency warp 7; Type III - cruising speed warp 6, emergency warp 9; Type IV - cruising speed warp 7, emergency warp 10; Type V - cruising speed warp 8, emergency warp 11; Type VI - cruising speed warp 9, emergency warp 12.</br> 
Cruising speed uses 1 + Warp Drive level in Energy point a day of travel, while emergency uses a vessel’s (Size +Warp Drive level) x2 in Energy points per day of travel. Each day of travel at emergency warp requires a ''Repair'' -4 check. Failure destroys the engine’s dilithium crystals resulting in a loss of ½ all remaining Energy and no warp until they are replaced. </br> 
Slow cruising is ½ cruising Warp speed (round down) and uses 1 Energy point for every 2 days of warp travel. Slow cruising also imposes a -4 to ''Electronic'' sensor scans to detect warp travel. || Type I = ¼ Size; Type II = ½ Size; Type III = ¾ Size; Type IV = Size; Type V = 1½ Size; Type VI = 2 x ship's Size.

====Starship Weapons====
These weapons are considered Heavy Weapons. Weapon range is in Starship/Table top scale. In an atmosphere or on planety scale multiple the range by x1,000 ft.</br>

For Energy Weapons 'Shots' this is the number of shots that a ship can fire before 'recharging' the weapon's banks. It cost the weapon's Mods required x2 to fully recharge a bank. Linked weapons are considered one weapon bank (after the Mod reduction).</br>

Engergy weapons on a starships can also be fired down onto the planets. These attacks can be precise, dealing base damage and effecting a Large Burst Template. </br>
Distruptors and Phaser tech can spread these attacks out to effecting everything within 20 ft. x the base number of damage d (i.e. a Distruptor that deals 6d10 can attack a planatry target within 120ft). For truly wide beam is instead upgraded to 1000 ft x the base number of dice.</br>
Phaser can also use Stun damage vs. planets also. Standard wide beam use the same AOE as above. All targets within the area of the lower AOE requires all targets to make a Vigor check minus the one-half base number of dice, round up (i,e. Type II requires a Vigor -3 or be knocked out). At the wide beam AOE requires a Vigor check.</br>
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 then its own. This is an opposed attacker's ''Electronics'' check at –2 vs the target’s ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' or ''Piloting'' check. If the attacker is successful, the enemy ship is caught and is reduced to a Impulse speed of 0 and its weapons suffer -2 on their attack rolls. Each round after that it can be pulled into contact with the "attacker" at 5 squards per roind. 

'''Missiles and Torpedos'''</br>
For direct fire against a target, Attackers make a ''Electronics'' or ''Science'' opossed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' skill. Success by the attacker means that the ship has a weapons-lock the target. On the following round as an Action a successful ''Shooting'' check strike the target. Without weapons-lock the attack roll is at an additional -4 in addition to any other penalties. Targets can try to break weapons-lock each round after but as an opposed roll where they suffer a -2 penalty to their ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' check (until the weapon's lock is broken when the checks suffer no penalties).</br>
For proximity or AOE fire at a target, Attackers make a ''Shooting'' check opposed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Piloting'' check. A win by the attacker means the weapon detenated nearby and the target veessel suffers 1/2 damage. The target could attempt a seperate ''Piloting'' check at -4 to 'dive out of the way' and suffer no damage.</br>

'''''EMP Warhead''''' any missile or torpedo can be fitted as an electromagnetic pulse warhead. For missiles this must be done for each missile before it is fitting onto a ship's missile bay. For Torpedos this can be done by Engineering or Science actions as an Action and a successful ''Repair'' or ''Science'' check. These don’t cause actual damage, but roll “damage” normally and compare to the vessel’s Toughness, including Armor (ignore shields of the target and the AP of the missile/torpedo). Damage from EMPs attacks are not long lasting but can still knock out a ship as normal. They can also cause '''Ship Crises''' but for Immedate and Acture the damage effect is halved and for Continual crises there is no additional penalty to ''Dealing with the Criss''. Recovering Wounds from such damage requires a '''''Damage Control''''' but the affects are not temporary (see '''Starship Actions''' and '''Ship Crises''' for more details)

: *''An entry such as 12/1 means 12 missiles take up 1 Mod slot.''

Nucular missiles and bombs are illegal by most stellar society but still occational used. They deal their base damage and then again as an EMP effect as a second pulse damage.

Plasma and Photon torpedos use 1 Energy point when firing the Mod size in rounds (i.e. Plasma torpedos use 1 Energy point for every 6 rounds fired).

==STARSHIP CREW COMBAT ACTIONS==
'''''Please Note'''''- I got most of this idea from the '''Stars Without Numbers''' Revised RPG. I expanded these rules to work for SWADE but just wanted to be upfront about this. 

These rules are about giving players more options in a starship battle. Every PC can take one or more actions per ship round (some actions can only be taken once. Penalties for more the one action are listed on the Departments Action types). PCs who are department heads (or acting heads) can pick actions from their department. Any PC can pick from the general actions. All skill checks suffer a Wound Penalty if the ship has suffered any up to a maximum of -3 (with 3 or more wounds).</br>
Usually, PCs choose to '''''Do Your Duty''''' or go '''''Above and Beyond''''' to generate Command Points, while others then spend them on actions for their department. All unspent Command Points are lost at the round’s end. NPC ships usually have a base number of Command Points they can spend each round, and may pick actions freely to spend them. NPC vessels don’t generate additional points.</br>
The Captain or commanding draws the starships Initiative Card (other players do not), and determines the order in which the various crew actions, and distributes Command Points. The other player characters take their actions, generating or spending Command Points or dealing with crisis.</br>

[[File:SWADE.STPD.tarBattle.jpg | 700px]]

<u>CAPTAIN/COMMAND ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Into the Fire''''' (0 CP): Accept a ''Superstructure Damaged'' Crisis and gain ½ your ''Battle'' skill die in Command Points. You can do this once per round.</br>
'''''Keep It Together''''' (0 CP): Nullify a successful enemy hit and damage, rolling a Crisis instead. You can use this action in Instant response to an enemy hit. You can do this once per round.</br>
'''''Support Department''''' (0 CP): Choose a department. One action that department takes will require 2 fewer Command Points (minimum 0). You can do this once per round.</br>

<u>COMMUNICATION ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Confuse Systems''''' (2 CP): Make an opposed ''Hacking'' skill check against a targeted ship ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking''. On a success, it starts its next turn with a penalty to its Command Points equal to ½ your ''Hacking'' skill die. You can do this once per round.</br>
'''''Coordinate Crew''''' (1 CP): Make an ''Electronic'' skill check. On a success you grant one crew action a +2 bonus to their skill check if taken before the next round.</br>
'''''Defeat ECM''''' (2 CP): Make an opposed ''Hacking'' skill check against a targeted ship's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking''. On a success, all tactical actions this round gain a +2 bonus (+4 with a raise). You can take this action more than once, but it must be against a separate enemy each time.</br>
'''''Jam Comms!''''' (2 C): Make Make an opposed ''Electronics'' or  ''Hacking'' skill check against a targeted ship's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking''. On a success, you block that vessel's sub-space radio such that they cannot send out emergecy messages. etc. This lasts until the end of your next turn.</br>  
'''''Sensor Ghost''''' (2 CP): Make a ''Hacking'' check at -2. On a success, impose a -2 penalty the next enemy’s first attacks against your vessel (only one attack). You can take this action more than once, but it time it must be against a seperate attack.</br>

<u>ENGINEERING ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Damage Control''''' (4 CP or 3 with the Mr. Fix It edge): Make a ''Repair'' skill check. With a success you repair a Wound suffered by the ship, with an additional Wound repaired with any raises on the check. Each attempt of this action after the first in a combat has a cumulative -1 ''Repair'' penalty. These repairs least until the end of the scene and require a more ermanent fix with one day per Wound with a seperate successful check.</br>
'''''Emergency Repairs''''' (4 CP or 3 with the Mr. Fix It edge): Make a ''Repair'' check at a base -2. With a success a disabled system is restored or a degraded drive has its Speed increases by 1. Raises can increase the degraded drive by an additional 1 with each raise. Destroyed systems cannot be fixed this way.</br>
'''''Reroute Power''''' (2 CP): Make a ''Repair'' check. With a success you can boost one of the following systems as you route additional power into the system – (1) Restore lost Force Field overall points up to the ship’s Size; (2) Increase the shield Threshold rating for one arch area by ½ the ship’s Size until your next round; (3) Increase the ship’s space Speed by 2 until your next turn; (4) Increase a single weapon’s damage by +2d weapon die for one attack; (5) Grant a +2 skill bonus to any one Comms, Helms, Navigation or Science action due to enhanced power to their sensors/systems.</br>

<u>HELM ACTION</u></br>
'''''Bring Weapons to Bare''''' (2 CP): Make an opposed ''Piloting'' skill check. With a win, you can bring to bare one arch of fixed weapons against an enemy ship. You can take this action more than once in a round but all furture Helm actions are at a cumulative -2 that round.</br>
'''''Emergency Warp''''' (4 CP): This very dangerous maneuver requires a ''Piloting'' -4 skill check. With a success you vessel breaks to warp speed and out of combat. Failure disables the Warp Drive and it cannot be used until ''Deal with a Crisis'' is used for fix it. After a successful jump Navigation must make an ''Science'' -2 skill to plot a course or the ship suffers a ''Hull Breach Crisis''. And Engineering must make a ''Repair'' -2 skill or suffer the results of ''Emergency Warp Speed'' (see Starship Mods).</br>
'''''Escape Combat''''' (4 CP): Make an opposed ''Piloting'' skill check plus your ship’s space scale Speed against the fastest opponent’s skill check plus their ship’s space scale Speed. On a win, your ship gains one point of Escape. If your ship gets three points, after three uses of this maneuver, your ship gets away from them and are no longer in combat with that ship.</br>
'''''Evasive Maneuvers''''' (2 CP): Make an opposed ''Piloting'' skill check. On a success, you impose -2 penalty (-4 with a raise) against one enemy’s attacks against your ship until your next turn. You can take this action more than once, but it must be against a separate enemy each time.</br>
'''''Pursue Target''''' (3 CP): Make an opposed ''Piloting'' skill check plus your ship’s Speed against the enemy against a fleeing enemy vessel ''Politing'' and ship's Speed.. One a win, you shed one point of Escape rating the target ship may have on you. </br>

<u>NAVIGATIONAL ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Focus Shields''''' (3 CP): Make an ''Electronics'' skill check. Witj a success you focus the shields in to either forward, aft, port (left) or starboard (right). Increase the threshold of shields in that area by ½ the ship’s Size and lower then at the other areas threshold by ½ the ship’s Size until your next turn.</br>
'''''Plot Best Course''''' (2 CP): Make an ''Science'' skill check. With a success you plot the best maneuvering course for the ship granting a +2 bonus to all Helm operator’s actions until your next round.</br>

<u>SCIENCE ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Analysis Foe''''' (2 CP): Make a opposed ''Science'' skill vs. the target's ''Electionics'' or ''Hacking'' skill. With a success you can determine any weakness in an enemy ship’s defenses. Until next turn any attacks by Tactical can either lower the Command Points cost to ''Target Systems'' to 1 point or lower the target's Shield Threshold by ½ your ''Science'' skill die.</br>
'''''Detect Hidden Threats''''' (1 CP): Make an ''Electronics'' skill. With a success your sensors can detected any possible hidden threats within the systems range IF it is there. This could include a cloaked vessel or mine, etc. but it does not pinpoint that item. That requires a seperate opposed check against the threat (i.e. a cloaked ship it’s opposed by the target you are minuses the vessel's stealth plenty vs. their ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' skill).</br>
'''''Sensor Scans''''' (2 CP): Make an opposed ''Electronics'' skill check against a target ship's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' skill. On a success, you learn one of the following details about it – (1) current Shield strength and Threshold level; (2) current Toughness and Armor rating; (3) base Speed of vessel; (4) Weapon systems and types totals; (5) current Wounds taken.</br> 
Each raise over the target’s allow you to learn an additional detail.</br>

<u>TACTICAL ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Fire All Guns''''' (5 CP): You fire all weapons mounted on the ship as a separate attack, designating targets as you wish. Turrets fire in all directions, fixed only in one direction.</br>
'''''Fire One Weapon''''' (2 CP): You fires a single ship’s weapon of your choice. Turrets and linked weapons count as one weapon fired. You can take this action more than once. This can include Tractor Beams.</br>
'''''Target Systems''''' (+2 CP): With a ''Fire One Weapon'' action you may target a ship’s weapon, engine, force field, or system. The targeted attack suffers a -4 penalty. With a success, roll damage. If this would cause a Wound, you cause the enemy vessel one of the following Crisis - (1) ''Communications Disabled'', (2), ''Fuel Bleed'', (3) ''Haywire Systems'', (4) ''Helm Lock'', (5) ''Impulse Engines Damaged'', (6) ''Life Support Breach'', (7) ''Navigational Array Disabled'' (8) ''Sensors Damaged'', (9) ''System Damaged'', (10) ''Targeting Decalibration'', (11) ''Warp Core Damaged'', (12) ''Weapon System Damaged''</br> 
These attacks deals no Wounds. Systems can be restored as normal.</br>

<u>GENERAL ACTIONS</u></br>
'''''Above and Beyond''''' (0 CP): Pushing yourself to help the ship or Life Support Breach its crew. Pick skill and explain how you’re using it to help the ship. If the GM agrees, roll it with a -2 penalty. On a success, gain your ½ skill level in Command Points. When you take this action you can do nothing else in the round, including actions for department heads, etc.</br>
On a failure, the ship suffers -1 Command Point.</br>
'''''Deal With a Crisis''''' (2 CP): Explain what you are doing to solve a secific ''Crisis'' and roll the relevant skill check. The difficulty is -4, plus or minus 0 to 4 depending on the situation and the effectiveness of your action (GM’s call). On a success, the ''Crisis'' is resolved. You may also use this action to aid another PC in resolving a Crisis, working like a Support check (SWADE pg. 106). As normal the maximum bonus that can be granted through Support is +4 no matter how many people aid. Normally when you take this Action you can do nothing else in that round (including those making a Support roll).</br>
'''''Do Your Duty''''' (0 CP): The ship gains 1 Command Point with no skill check required. PCs who head more than one department can only grant 1 CP; NPC department heads automatically take this action. PC can also take a different action, but they can only take Do Your Duty once a round.

===SHIP CRISIS===
Once per round, any PC may choose to accept a ''Crisis'' instead of taking an enemy hit and Wound damage. They must choose to do so immediately after damage is rolled, and only one player needs to request the ''Crisis'' to get it even if the rest of the party doesn’t want it. Once the ''Crisis'' is accepted, the hit is negated and the GM rolls on the table. This can only happen once a round for the non-Captain players (see below)</br>

The captain may also choose to voluntarily accept a Crisis through their '''''Keep It Together''''' or '''''Into the Fire''''' department actions. Use of these actions doesn’t count against the one-voluntary-Crisis-per-round maximum.</br>

Some ''Crisis'' are '''''Continuing'''''. They will apply a penalty to the ship that continues until a crewmember successfully performs a ''Deal With a Crisis'' action.</br>
Other ''Crisis'' are '''''Acute'''''. They inflict no immediate negative consequence, but if the PCs don’t resolve it by the end of the next combat round, an unpleasant consequence will ensue.</br>
A final ''Crisis'' has an '''''Immediate'''''. The aftermath of these effects must be dealt with by the crew (i.e. figure out how they will survive because of this).</br>

The same ''Crisis'' rolled more than once will stack on the ship, though hits to a destroyed section or dry fuel tanks may not be much of a problem to the ship.</br>

<u>CRISIS DESCRIPTION</u></br>
'''''Brace for Impact!''''': The ship suffers a hit in just the right location that is more than the gravity compensators can handle, throwing unbraces objects (and crew) around like dolls. If the commander makes a successful ''Battle'' check all PC can brace themselves with a basic Agility check. Failure and everyone suffers a -2 to their Agility check. Failure on this check and they are thrown away from their station and knocked prone and are automatically Shaken (or suffer 1 Wound if you critical failed). 10% of the crew (20% if the commander failed the Battle check) are also Shaken until the end of the next round and can be disabled if they suffer another impact or similar crew loss (which disables these crew members and an additional 10% from Crew Lost). The ship is considered an Unstable Platform (SWA pg. 109, but also -2 for all ship actions) for all action for the team’s next round.

'''''Communications Disrupted''''': The communication array is damage. Until resolve all comm actions suffer a -2 skill penalty. If this system is damaged again it is destroyed and most use secondary system. All actions now also cost 1 additional command points to work (along with the -2 penalty).

'''''Crew Lost''''': Brave crew risk their lives to keep damaged systems operating. Describe the danger they face. If the Crisis is not resolved by the end of the next round, 10% of the ship’s maximum crew are incapacitated. Half these crewmen are dead or permanently disabled, and the other half return to duty in a week. A successful ''Healing'' check at -2 by the Medicine head halves the number of dead and crippled and to lower the loss to none with at least two raises! If the ship has run out of NPC crew when it takes this Crisis, a random PC suffers. The PC must make an Agility or Vigor -2 check (player’s choice) or suffer a Wound (two Wounds with a Critical Failure). Incapacitated heroes require the Medical head to stabilize them as normal or they will die the following round.

'''''Fuel Bleed''''': The ship’s Energy fuel reserves have been damaged or emergency vents have been force-triggered by battle damage. If not resolved by the end of the next round, the ship will jettison 20% of its overall Energy points (round up). If reduced to 0 Energy the ship ceases to function and only emergency life support is even operational.

'''''Haywire Systems''''': Critical command links have been damaged or disordered by the hit. Until resolved, the ship starts each round at -2 Command Points. Multiple such Crisis can stack this penalty, crippling a ship until the Crises are resolved.

'''''Helm Lock''''': The ship’s helm system has been damage. Until resolve all helm actions suffer a -2 penalty. If this system is damaged again it is destroyed and most use secondary system. All actions now also cost 1 additional command points to work (along with the -2 penalty).

'''''Hull Breach''''': The hull has been damaged in a way that is currently non-critical but is about to tear open an important compartment or crumple on vital systems. If not resolved by the end of the next round the ship suffers a 1d4 Wounds automatically.

'''''Impulse Engines Damaged''''': The vessel’s main impulse engines have been damaged reducing the ship’s Speed by 1. If reduced to 0 the system is destroyed and cannot be repaired in combat. The ship can only to stationary maneuvering reducing Helm Action to ''Bring Weapons to Bare'' only.

'''''Life Support Breach''''': The hit has penetrated into life support. If not resolved by the end of the next round the ship suffers a loss of 1d6x10% of its overall remaining life support ‘days’. If knocked to 0 then the ship is on emergency life support and all actions suffer a -2 penalty and -2 Command Points.

'''''Navigational Array Disabled''''': The ship’s navigational systems are disrupted and disabled. Until resolve all navigation actions suffer a -2 skill penalty. If this system is damaged again it is destroyed and most use secondary system. All actions now also cost 1 additional command points to work (along with the -2 penalty).

'''''Sensors Damaged''''': The ships main sensors have been disrupted. Until resolve all science actions suffer a -2 skill penalty. If this system is damaged again it is destroyed and most use secondary system. All actions now also cost 1 additional command points to work (along with the -2 penalty).

'''''Shield Loss''''': One of the ship’s shield systems has been damage by the hit. The shields overall hits is reduced by the ship’s Size x2. If reduced to 0 point the system is destroyed and cannot be repaired in combat.

'''''Superstructure Damaged''''': The hit melted an important patch of ship’s armor, cracked an internal support, or exposed sensitive systems. Until resolved, the ship’s Armor rating is lowered by 1d6+4 and base Toughness is lowered by 1d6+1.

'''''System Damaged''''': One of the ship’s systems has been cooked by the hit. The GM picks a system covered under Notes for other basic systems; that system has been disabled as if hit with a ''Targeted Shot'' action. Disabled system hit by this Crisis again or ''Target Shot'' action are destroyed and cannot be repaired during combat.

'''''Targeting Decalibration''''': The gunnery computers are hopelessly confused and cannot lock the ship’s weaponry on a target until this Crisis is resolved. Until resolve all tactical actions suffer a -2 penalty. If this system is damaged again it is destroyed and most use secondary system. All actions now also cost 2 additional command points to work (along with the -2 penalty).

'''''Warp Core Damaged''''': The vessel’s warp core is damaged and the ship cannot engage the warp engines until fixed. As warp engines provide most of the ship’s power its’ Speed is reduced by 1 and all non-torpedo weapons deal 2d weapon damage less until restored. If the vessel suffers this damage again the engines are is destroyed and cannot be repaired in combat. The ship loses all but a maximum of 1d6 x ½ the ship's Size Engergy points (if lower then it loses an additonal number of Energy Points equal to the ship's Size). The vessel is now running on backup engines/power plants only.

'''''Weapon System Damaged''''': One of the ship’s weapon arrays/banks is damage. Pick a random one. If a turret all weapons linked are also damaged. Damage systems deal ½ damage until fixed. If the vessel suffers this damage again this weapon system is destroyed and cannot be easily repaired in combat (''Repair'' checks are at an additional -2 and take twice as many Command Points). Tractor Beams count as Weapons. The first time it is damage they suffer a -4 penalty to use. The second time its is destoryed and cannot be repaired easily in combat (''Repair'' checks are at an additional -2 and take twice as many Command Points)

'''''VIP Imperiled''''': Shipboard damage threatens a random PC or important NPC. That victim must immediately roll a Vigor check minus the ship’s wound level (maximum -3), and on a failure they are mortally wounded (4 wounds for Wild Cards). NPC crew can make a free attempt to stabilize the downed VIP using their usual NPC Healing skill check. If the NPC fails, and no PC takes a ''Deal With a Crisis'' action to successfully stabilize them by the end of the ship’s turn, they die. A Medicine PC head can make a normal ''Healing'' check but that is all it can do this round. A success stabilizes the subject while a raise heals one Wound.


<u>ADITIONAL NOTES</br></u>
At the end of the crisis the GM determines the rate at which crisis and damage is repaired or resolved, depending on how badly damaged the ship is and the crew personal remaining.

Regardless a ship reduced to 0 Wounds is fully disabled and reduced to emergency life support only. A ship that suffered x2 its basic Wounds is destroyed and all crew are dead unless they make a Smarts test at -2 to reach an escape pod or emergency transporter in time.

Edges that can be used for Starship Actions – the Captain can use various Leadership edges for crew and Quick and Level Headed for Initiative; Communications can use EMP Specialist; Engineering can use McGyver and Mr. Fix It; Helm can use Ace (but cannot soak); Navigation and Science can use Scholar; Tactical can use Trade-Mark Weapon. All can use Steady Hands.
