The scenario can be played again under different condi- tions by making one or more of the following changes: (8CM61b) INITIAL SETUP 1. Alternative Ships: Replace both ships with ships from Map: Set up the map with three panels across and two any empire. The two player ships should be equal to each other panels high if using small hexes (four wide and three high if in point value. using large hexes). 2.

Barring that, collect 200 points of labora- by Nick Sandberg. tory information (100 in Fleet Scale) for the techies at Star Fleet R&D. Time Limit: The scenario ends when the Cyndarian battlewagon is destroyed, or when one player has forced the other player to leave and has captured the battlewagon. Victory: If the Klingon player destroys both the Cyndarian ship and the Federation ship (or the Federation player has not accumulated 200 lab points when the Cyndarian ship is destroyed), then the Klingon player has won. If the Cyndarian ship is destroyed and the Federation player has accumulated 200 lab points, it is a draw. If the Cyndarian ship survives, the Federation player wins. (8CM61d) SPECIAL RULES 1. Cyndarian Battlewagon: The derelict Cyndarian battlewagon cannot move. It has no transporters or tractor beams. (While it could be towed, the location map is centered on the battlewagon so this has no practical value.) It has 24 robot boarding parties (12 in Fleet Scale). The shields are not functional. The Cyndarian battlewagon has six phaser-3s (three in Fleet Scale, all 360°) which will fire (within the rules) against any drone or shuttle which impacts the ship. The Cyndarian battlewagon has one ion cannon (4R) and three phaser-1s (all 360°); in Fleet Scale, the phaser-1s are phaser-2s. On Impulse #2, #4, #6, and #8 of each turn the Cyndarian will fire all four weapons at a random target. (Roll 1d6; odd numbers are the Klingon ship, even numbers are the Federation ship. In vari- ants with more ships, assign each ship a number and re-roll if an unassigned number appears.) 2. Destruction: The Cyndarian battlewagon will be destroyed by 200 points of damage (100 in Fleet Scale). After receiving 50(25) points of damage, the ion cannon and one
