Starfox, the Starfox logo, and all Starfox characters and resources are © Nintendo. 3 s s r r e e t t c IntroductionIntroduction c a a r r a a h d20 Lylat provides the building blocks for a campaign based on Nintendo’s ever-popular series of video h C games, Starfox. Set in the future and far from Earth, races bearing more resemblance to animals than humans C use technology far in advance of our own. Why? You decide. Perhaps an interplanetary war threatens to destroy two clans of Wolves, and a few soldiers have figured out how to turn the tide. A rogue geneticist may be creating an army of cyborg clones, unaware of the group of friends who have uncovered his plot. You could even construct a campaign around one or all of the Starfox games themselves, where the players take control of their favorite heroes from the Nintendo consoles. The choice is up to you.

What You Need to Play

This product requires the use of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game and d20 Future to play, uses the d20 Modern rules for character creation and advancement, combat, and monster design, and uses the d20 Future rules for starships, combat, cybernetics, and other futuristic elements. All PL6 weapons, items, vehicles, starships, and other material in d20 Future are compatible with this setting. In addition, you will need many dice of various types: one four-sided, four six-sided, one eight-sided, two ten-sided, one twelve-sided, and one twenty-sided. Additional dice may be needed as circumstances dictate, but this is the bare minimum required to play a campaign. Some scratch paper and pencils will also be useful for notes, mapmaking, and other uses as the game unfolds, but are not required.

What is d20 Lylat ?

This book is a Progress Level 6 campaign setting for use with the d20 Future add-on for the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game. It gives the basic rules and information necessary to create a campaign in the fictional world of Starfox, using the rules of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game and additional rules and materials presented in d20 Future. The Setting

The star system, Lylat, is 40 light-years from Earth, and has no contact with humans. The timeframe is somewhere around 2700-2800 A.D., several centuries in the future. They have discovered and implemented laser technology, and have some rudimentary plasma as well (PL6, bordering on PL7). They do not dabble in time manipulation, but are researching lightspeed travel (though it has not yet been attained). There are two main central governments, each of which is allied with several of the planets in the system. There is a single, universally-accepted currency, the Lira. Travel between planets is commonplace, as demonstrated by the millions of Cornerian citizens who vacation on Zoness every year. Recently, there was a large series of conflicts referred to as the Great Lylat Wars, in which the Cornerian Armed Forces fought the Venomian Empire. The war was won by a team of mercenaries under the name of Starfox, who defeated the head of the Empire, Dr. Andross Oikonny. Since then, much effort has been put into rebuilding the shattered worlds of Zoness and Corneria, the two main battlegrounds. Corneria still maintains a strong military, and keeps tabs around the system – just in case…

Variant: Interracial Marriage

Though few campaigns involve marriage or even romance, many people feel the dynamics of Lylatian reproduction need to be laid out. Though the final mechanic is fully up to the GM (hopefully after consulting players) several quick solutions follow.

 The children, regardless of gender, are consistently the same race as one of the parents, though minor characteristics such as eye or fur color may be inherited from both. For example: Falco, an Avian, marries Katt, a Feline. Their children are all Felines, but some have blue fur. This approach is useful when the marriage is between a PC and an NPC, and the player wants the children to take after their character.

 All children take after the parent of similar gender. For example, Bill, a Canine, marries Fara, a Fennec. Their sons would all be Canines, and their daughters Fennecs. This is the most popular approach, and works well for marriages between two players.

 The children are crossbreeds, mixing all characteristics of the two parent races. The mix is usually 50/50, so die rolls could be involved when determining genetics. This is perhaps the most realistic solution, but it would be very bizarre to see a half-Avian, half-Beaver walking around.

 The children are crossbreeds, as above, but only parents of the same family can reproduce. Therefore, a Squirrel and a Vulpine could have children (perhaps just Vulpines with bushier-than-average tails), but a Canine and a Delphine could not.

 Love and marriage between races are possible, but reproduction is not. Couples must adopt children. This is the simplest approach, but the most likely to cause dissent among players.

The following skills in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game are expanded to include new uses unique to the Lylat System.

Bluff (CHA) You can use the Bluff skill to feint in starship combat. Check: With a successful Bluff check, you mislead another starship so that it can’t dodge your attack effectively. This check is opposed by the other starship’s pilot’s Sense Motive check. If you succeed, the next attack your starship makes against the target ignores it’s pilot’s Dexterity modifier to Defense (if it has one), thus lowering the target’s defense score. You cannot use this tactic against a starship that’s flying on autopilot. Using Bluff to feint in starship combat is an attack action. Special: If you have the Starship Feint feat, you gain a +2 bonus to Bluff checks to feint in starship combat.

Computer Use (INT) In addition to all the uses described in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game, this skill can be used to operate shipboard sensors as well as send, jam, scramble, and unscramble transmissions sent through space. Check: The following applications of the Computer Use skill may be used untrained: Conduct Active Sensor Scan: Using a starship’s sensors to analyze another ship or object within sensory range requires a Computer Use check (DC 15). An active sensor scan conducted over a vast distance (for example, from one side of Meteo to the other) or subjected to some form of disturbance (a solar flare, for example) takes a –5 or higher penalty to the check, at GM’s discretion. Send Transmission: Routine communications (hailing a nearby ship, sending messages over LT/SN, etc.) are accomplished by a Computer Use check (DC 10). Communications sent over incredibly long distances (such as from one planet to another) are subject to distortion; correcting such distortion to ensure an understandable message reaches its destination requires a successful Computer Use check (DC 20). The following uses of the Computer Use skill can NOT be used untrained: Jam Transmission: This skill can be used to prevent a ship or facility from receiving an incoming transmission. An opposed Computer Use check between the person receiving the message (usually the ship’s comm officer) and the person attempting to jam the message determines whether or not the message gets through. If an unmanned computer receives the message, the check has a DC of 15. Scramble/Unscramble Transmission: Computer Use can be used to scramble transmissions. This is done with an opposed check between the person sending the message and anyone attempting to intercept and unscramble it. Time: Scrambling or unscrambling a transmission are full-round actions. Conducting an active sensor scan or sending/jamming a transmission are move actions.

Disable Device (INT) You can use this skill to disable an Android, Mech, or piece of Cyberware. Check: Disabling an Android is a full-round action and requires a successful Disable Device check (DC 30). The Android must be pinned (see page 153 of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game) or otherwise immobilized before the check can be made. Disabling a Mech requires one round if the Mech is one size category larger than the creature attempting to disable it (or smaller), and one additional round for each size category over that. It also requires a successful Disable Device check (DC 30), increased by 5 for each size category over Large. The Mech must be pinned or otherwise immobilized before the check can be made. Disabling a piece of Cyberware is a full-round action and requires a successful Disable Device check (DC 30). The creature to which the Cyberware is attached must be pinned before the check is made. You cannot disable internal Cyberware (such as Nanites). Special: A disabled Android, Mech, or piece of Cyberware can be reactivated with a successful Repair check (see below).

Navigate (INT) t c You can use the Navigate skill to plot a course with a starship’s onboard computer. c a Check: The rules for plotting a course over a great distance work as described in the Navigate skill a r description (see page 68 of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game). Aboard a starship, you need a functional class r a I sensor array (or better) to plot a course through space. You don’t need to make a Navigate check to travel a h along a pre-established space route. h C Time: Plotting a course is a full-round action. C

Pilot (DEX) You can use the Pilot skill to fly any kind of spacecraft. Check: Unless you have the Starship Operation feat (page 19), you take a –4 penalty to Pilot checks when trying to pilot a starship. The pilot of a starship can make a Pilot check to escape or avoid being held by another starship’s grappling systems (see Grapplers, page 143 of d20 Future). Special: For modern-day (PL5) spacecraft, such as the Space Shuttle, the Aircraft Operation (Spacecraft) feat is sufficient to negate the –4 penalty on Pilot checks. However, this feat does not apply to PL6 or higher spacecraft.

Repair (INT) You can use this skill to repair vehicles, starships, Mechs, Cyberware, and constructs (including Androids). You can also use the Repair skill to safely remove the brain of a destroyed or disabled Android. Check: Repairing damage to a vehicle, starship, or Mech takes one hour of work, a Mechanical Toolkit, and a proper facility (such as a workshop or hangar). Without a toolkit, you take a –4 penalty to the Repair check. At the end of the hour, make a Repair check (DC 20). Success repairs 2d6 points of damage. If more damage remains, you may continue to make repairs for up to as many hours as is necessary to restore the vehicle or starship to full HP. The same rules apply to Androids, other Constructs, and Cyberware, except that each successful application of the Repair skill restores 1d10 points of damage (instead of 2d6) and the Repair is more difficult (DC 30). This skill may also be used to transplant the brain of an Android into a similar, but intact, frame. Special: A vehicle, starship, Cyberware, Mech, Android, or other Construct that is reduced to 0HP cannot be repaired. It can be salvaged for parts, however (see the Salvage feat description, page 18).

Expanded Feats

With the advent of spacefaring technology, a wide range of new feats became available to Lylatians. Some are dependant upon previous feats, which can be found in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game.

Archaic Weapons Proficiency You are proficient in the use of ancient weaponry, such as the sword and bow. Benefit: You take no penalty on attack rolls with archaic weapons. Normal: A creature without this feat takes a –4 Nonproficient Penalty when making an attack with any archaic weapon.

Armor Proficiency (Powered) You are proficient with powered armor. Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (Light), Armor Proficiency (Medium). Benefit: When wearing powered armor, you may add the armor’s entire equipment bonus to your Defense. Normal: A character not proficient with powered armor adds only a portion of the armor’s equipment bonus to her defense. Special: A Shock Trooper (see Advanced Classes, page 20) gains this feat for free, regardless of whether she meets the prerequisites or not.

Starfox, the Starfox logo, and all Starfox characters and resources are © Nintendo. Craft Cyberware You can construct cybernetic attachments. Prerequisites: Craft (electrical) 10 ranks, Craft (mechanical) 10 ranks, Knowledge (life sciences) 5 ranks. Benefits: you can build any of the cybernetic attachments described in chapter 11. You must first be able to afford the attachment to acquire the necessary components, then invest 24 hours in its construction. At the end of that time, you must succeed at both a Craft (electrical) check (DC 30) and a Craft (mechanical) check (DC 30). If both Craft checks succeed, the cybernetic attachment functions properly and can be installed anytime (see the Cybernetic Surgery feat, below). If either or both checks fail, the attachment’s design is flawed. Another 24 hours must be spent fixing the problems, and both skill checks must be repeated at the end of that time. Special: This feat does not allow you to build a cybernetic attachment of a higher progress level.

Cybernetic Surgery You can graft Cyberware onto living tissue, as well as safely remove them. Prerequisites: Treat Injury 8 ranks, Surgery. Benefit: You can make a Treat Injury check (DC 20) to install or remove a cybernetic attachment. If you do not have a surgery kit or access to a medical facility, you take a –4 penalty to the check. Cybernetic surgery takes 1d4 hours. The consequences of failure are severe: If your check result fails by 5 or more, the installation or removal of the Cyberware causes sever physical trauma to the patient, who suffers 1d4 points of Constitution damage. If the check result fails by 10 or more, the Constitution damage is treated as Constitution drain instead. A character who undergoes cybernetic surgery (successful or not) is fatigued for 24 hours. Reduce this time by two hours for every point above the DC the surgeon achieves. The period of fatigue can never be reduced below six hours in this fashion. Normal: Characters without this feat take a –8 penalty to Treat Injury checks made to perform cybernetic surgery (-4 penalty if they have the Surgery feat).

Cybertaker You can have more Cyberware than normal without suffering ill effects. Benefit: The maximum number of Cyberware attachments you can have without suffering negative levels increases by one (see number of attachments, page 193). Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Jack-of-all-trades You’ve picked up a smattering of even the most obscure skills. Prerequisite: Character Lv8+. Benefit: You can use any skill untrained, even those that normally require training and those that are exclusive to classes you don’t have. You cannot, however, gain ranks in a skill unless you are allowed to select it.

Mastercrafter You are adept at creating mastercraft electronic and mechanical devices, including tools, weapons, vehicles, Android parts, and armor. Prerequisites: Craft (electrical) 8 ranks, Craft (mechanical) 8 ranks. Benefit: When successfully completed, a mastercraft object provides an equipment bonus on skill checks made to use the object (in the case of vehicles, this includes Drive or Pilot checks). A mastercraft weapon provides a bonus on the attack or damage rolls (crafter’s choice). A mastercraft suit of armor improves the armor’s equipment bonus to Defense. In each case, the bonus can be +1, +2, or +3 and no single object can have more than one mastercraft feature (for instance, you cannot build a mastercraft weapon that gains a bonus on attack rolls AND damage rolls). On average, it takes twice as long to build a mastercraft object as it does to build an ordinary object of the same type. The cost to build a mastercraft object is equal to the cost of the object (or its components) plus the bonus provided by the mastercraft feature: +1 costs and additional 100ℓ, +2 costs 250ℓ, and +3 costs 500ℓ.

In addition to the cost, you must also pay a cost in XP equal to 250 times the bonus provided by the t c mastercraft feature. The XP points must be paid before making the Craft check. If the expenditure of these XP c a would drop you below the minimum needed for your current Lv, then the XP cannot be paid and you cannot a r make the mastercraft object (until you have enough XP to remain at your current Lv after paying the cost). r a Apply the following modifiers to the Craft check DC for mastercraft items: a h h C Mastercraft Feature DC modifier C +1 +3 +2 +5 +3 +10

You can add the mastercraft feature to an existing ordinary object, or a lower grade mastercraft object by paying costs and making checks as if you were crafting the object from scratch.

Planetary Adaptation Your physiology has been altered by life on a planet with a harsh climate or adverse environmental conditions. Examples of each type are given in parentheses. Benefit: You gain one of the benefits listed below, depending on your homeworld: Barren World (Aquas, Titania, Venom): You gain a +4 bonus to all Survival checks and to Constitution checks against starvation and/or thirst. Cold World (Aquas, Fortuna): You gain a +4 bonus to Fortitude saves vs. extreme cold, as well as Cold Resistance 5. High-G World (Venom): you gain a +2 bonus to your Strength. Reduce your base height by six inches. Hot World (Katina, Papetoon, Titania, Venom): You gain a +4 bonus to Fortitude saves vs. extreme heat, as well as Fire Resistance 5. Low-G World (Fortuna, Macbeth, Papetoon): You gain a +2 bonus to your Dexterity. Increase your base height by six inches. Water World (Aquas): You gain a +4 bonus to Swim checks and can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to twice your Constitution score. Special: You may only take this feat at 1st level. You may take it more than once at this time, however, if you are allowed more than one feat. Each time you choose this feat, you gain a different benefit. All benefits are subject to GM discretion.

Salvage You can salvage gadgets from wrecked Androids, Mechs, Starships, Vehicles, and Cyborgs. Benefit: Salvaging takes time as noted in the following table. At the end of this time, make a Search check. If the check succeeds, you gain ℓ as noted, either from selling the parts or putting them to use in a future project.

Type Time DC ℓ Vehicle ------ Huge or smaller 30min. 15 100  Gargantuan 1hr. 20 200  Colossal 3hrs. 25 300 Mech ------ Huge or smaller 30min 25 200  Gargantuan 1hr. 30 400  Colossal 3hrs. 35 600 Starship ------ Huge 1hr. 30 300  Gargantuan 3hrs. 35 500  Colossal 6hrs. 40 800 Android ------ Tiny or smaller 10min. 20 100  Small to Large 30min. 25 200  Huge or larger 1hr. 30 300

Starfox, the Starfox logo, and all Starfox characters and resources are © Nintendo. Cyberware ------ Replacement 10min. 15 100  Attachment 30min. 20 200

Special: A particular Android, Mech, Starship, Vehicle, or piece of Cyberware can only be salvaged once. Any further attempts to salvage parts from the wreckage fail automatically.

Spacer You have a special affinity for spacecraft and space travel. Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Computer Use checks made to use onboard spacecraft systems, Navigate checks to pilot a capital ship, and all Pilot checks made to fly a spacecraft.

Starship Battle Run You are skilled at starship skirmish tactics, zipping in and out of an enemy’s sights. Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Starship Dodge, Starship Mobility. Benefit: When using an attack action with a starship ranged weapon, you can move both before and after the attack, provided that the total distance does not exceed the starship’s tactical speed. Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender you are attacking (though it can provoke attacks of opportunity from other nearby starships).

Starship Dodge You are adept at dodging attacks while piloting starships. Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Pilot 6 ranks, Starship Operation (of the appropriate type). Benefit: When piloting a starship of a type with which you are proficient (see Starship Operation, below), you apply a +1 Dodge bonus to your ship’s Defense against attacks from one enemy starship you designate during your action. You can select a new enemy starship on any action.

Starship Feint You are skilled at misleading your enemy in starship combat. Prerequisites: Pilot 9 ranks, Starship Operation (of the appropriate type). Benefit: When piloting a ship with which you are proficient (see Starship Operation, below), you can make a Bluff check in starship combat as a move action. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on Bluff checks made to feint in starship combat. See the expanded Bluff skill (page 15) for details.

Starship Gunnery You are proficient with starship weapon systems. Benefit: You do not take a penalty on attack rolls when firing a starship weapon. Normal: Without this feat, you take a -4 Nonproficient penalty to attack rolls when firing a starship weapon.

Starship Mobility You are adept at dodging attacks while piloting starships. Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Starship Dodge. Benefit: When piloting a starship with which you are proficient (see Starship Operation, below), you apply a +4 Dodge bonus to your ship’s Defense against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a starship’s threatened area. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity modifier to Defense also makes you lose your Dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses (such as this one and the one granted by the Starship Dodge feat) stack, unlike most other bonuses.

Starship Operation Select one of the starship classes detailed on page 62. You are proficient at operating starships of that class. Alternately, your GM may allow you to use the starship types detailed on page 118 in d20 Future. Prerequisite: Pilot 2 ranks. Benefit: When operating a starship of the selected class, you take no penalty to Pilot checks made when operating the starship, and you also apply your full Class Bonus to AC to the ship’s Defense.

Normal: Without this feat, you take a -4 Nonproficient penalty to Pilot checks made to operate a starship, t c and you only apply ½ your Class Bonus to Defense (rounded down) to the ship’s Defense. c a Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat, it applies to a different class a r of starship. r a a h h C Advanced Classes C

In the vast realm of space, there is never a shortage of jobs. You might find your calling as a shock trooper on the front lines in the Great Lylat Wars, or perhaps as a wing commander in the Cornerian Space flight Academy. The Advanced classes from the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game still apply, but now there are a few more options open to Lylatian adventurers. Shock Trooper

Description Shock Troopers specialize in powered armor melee tactics. A shock trooper can take huge amounts of damage and charge into situations which send many soldiers running for cover. These troopers are the highest- ranking and most revered soldiers in the army, and are feared in the enemy ranks. The fastest path into this class is through the Strong Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Base Attack Bonus: +3 Skills: Knowledge (technology) 3 ranks, Knowledge (tactics) 6 ranks. Feats: Armor Proficiency (Medium), Personal Weapons Proficiency.

Class Information Hit die: 1d10 Action Points per Level: 6 + ½ character level. Class Skills: Climb, Drive, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (current events, technology, popular culture, tactics), Listen, Profession, Repair, Spot, Survival, Tumble. Special: All Shock Troopers are issued a Powered Flight Garment. This armor is specially sized to the wearer, so it cannot be used by anyone else, and if the wearer gains or loses more than 20 pounds, she must have the armor resized (or a new set made).

Class Features Bonus Feats: These feats can be taken at 1st, 5th, and 9th level. The list includes: Acrobatic, Combat Reflexes, Combat Throw, Elusive Target, Improved Combat Throw, Unbalance Opponent, Weapon Focus (any melee weapon that can be used with one hand).

Starfox, the Starfox logo, and all Starfox characters and resources are © Nintendo. Weapon Specialization: The Shock Trooper may select a melee weapon she already has Weapon Focus for. When she does so, she receives a +2 Misc. Modifier to damage with that weapon. Extra Melee Damage: You can pound targets with your gloved fists and take advantage of the power from your armor. Your unarmed attack goes up by one die type and is always lethal (if you are medium-size, you deal 1d4 lethal instead of the normal 1d3 subdual, small characters deal 1d3 lethal instead of 1d2 subdual, and large characters deal 1d6 lethal instead of 1d4 subdual). This ability may not be used without powered armor. Knockdown: When you make a bull rush attempt against an opponent which pushes him back at least 10ft., you can forgo five feet to make a trip attack that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Each additional 5ft. of push forgone in this way gives an additional +2 bonus on the trip attempt. Thruster Burst: This ability uses one action point. When in a zero-G environment, the Shock Trooper may temporarily double the thruster speed of her armor for two rounds when heading into combat. This ability cannot be used out of combat or when fleeing. Topple: The Shock Trooper can push foes back harder than expected. If she scores a critical hit, the enemy must make a reflex save equal to the damage dealt from the critical or fall prone. Shield Boost: The Shock Trooper knows her personal shielding system’s intricacies extremely well. Her personal armor’s shield points are increased by 50%, and she gains a +1 Equipment Modifier to AC when shields are active. Supreme Critical: When the Shock Trooper threatens a critical hit, she can roll twice to confirm and take the highest result. Flight Ace

Description This nimble hero delights in flying air and spacecraft of all varieties. His main strength is his “familiar” vehicle, which he has flown for enough time to adjust it to perfection. Fighter Aces fly rings around most other characters, much to their frustration, even in bulky old garbage scows. They tend to live dangerously when flying, using their knowledge of physics and Technology to calculate maneuvers other pilots wouldn’t dream of. The fastest path into this class is through the Fast Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Skills: Pilot 6 ranks, Knowledge (technology) 3 ranks, Knowledge (physics) 3 ranks. Feats: Spacecraft Operation

Class Information Hit die: 1d8 Action Points per Level: 6 + ½ character level Class Skills: Bluff, Computer Use, Craft (mechanical, electronic), Drive, Gamble, Hide, Knowledge (current events, physics, technology, tactics), Navigation, Pilot, Read/Write Language, Repair, Spot, Survival, Tumble.

Class Features t c Fighter Dodge: A combination of nimble, darting maneuvering and pure velocity make the Fighter Ace a c a difficult target. When flying any fighter craft, either in air or space, he gains a +2 to Defense. a r Familiarity: Starting at 2nd Level, a Fighter ace gains a bonus on pilot and repair checks when used on a r a vehicle he designates as familiar. The same bonus is applied to his attacks with his fighter’s weaponry, and to a h the vehicle’s Defense. This bonus starts at +1 at 2nd level, and increases by +1 every two levels thereafter. The h C Fighter ace must have operated his vehicle for at least 3 months, and if he switches to one of a different size or C new model family (or any test craft), he must spend 3 months becoming familiar with it. He can be familiar with only one craft at a time. Fly-By Attack: Starting at 3rd level, the Flight Ace can take a move action (including a dive) when piloting any flying craft, and an attack action at any point throughout the move. The Flight Ace cannot take a second move action in that round. Evasive Action: At 5th level, the Flight Ace can make a Pilot check opposing an enemy attack roll. If this roll is successful, the damage dealt to the Flight Ace’s craft is halved (minimum 1 pt, round down). This ability may not be used in conjunction with the Arwing and Wolfen “Shield Roll” maneuver. Engine Override: At 7th level, the Flight Ace knows his engines well enough to cautiously overstep safety limits for a short period of time. He can increase his flight speed by ½ for one round per Flight Ace class level. This deals 2d6 points of damage to his vehicle per round, ignoring hardness and shields. Improved Evasive Action: At 9th level, Flight Aces’ evasive action improves. A successful Pilot check negates all damage (normal only halves it). Cyborg

Description The cyborg breaks the boundaries between animal and machine. Cyborgs are either soldiers or scientists who have fused cutting-edge equipment to their bodies, sometimes even becoming more machine than animal as equipment is added to keep their damaged bodies functioning. Cyborgs may implant or develop only so much “Cyberware” at a time, due to the physical stress placed on one’s body. This class can soak up damage like a sponge, but most people are wary of them – they appear too “foreign” and unnatural. The fastest path into this class is through the Tough Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Base Attack Bonus: +2 Feat: Endurance Skill: Knowledge (technology) 3 ranks Special: Must have been reduced to -1 or fewer hit points, then restored to full health in a high-tech hospital (including well-equipped sickbays with micro- and nanosurgical tools).

Class Features Cyberware: Each time this class feature is earned, the Cyborg may choose to add a new piece of Cyberware or upgrade an existing one (see Chapter 8: Cyberware). Bonus Feats: Bonus feats can be taken at 2nd, 5th, and 8th level. They must be from the following list: Alertness, Athletic, Blind-fight, Builder, Cautious, Cybertaker, Focused, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, Meticulous, Toughness. Engineer

Description As the years have passed, the large corporations which built military aerospace vehicles have looked to design and build new craft in a more organic, aesthetically pleasing manner. You are one of those people, either with or without a contract, and you may have a few specialized components to your name. People from all around the system call on you for special work, and you make more money than your old boss ever thought possible. The fastest path into this class is through the Smart Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Skills: Computer Use 7 ranks, Craft (electronics) 7 ranks, Disable Device 5 ranks.

Extreme Weapons System: This ability uses one action point. At 2nd level, the Engineer knows vehicle weapons systems enough to push them beyond their limits. By making a Craft (electronics) check, the Engineer can temporarily improve the performance of the weapon, but at the risk of it short-circuiting. The DC and chance of failure are in the table below. The work takes an hour, and it is impossible to take 10 or 20 on the check.

th C Build Weapons System: At 4 level, the Engineer can build either a vehicle weapon or its requisite fire C control system from off-the-shelf parts, time, and elbow-grease. The cost in Liras is halved, and it costs 1/10 its price in XP. It takes one day to build the device per 1,000 Liras of the original price. Extreme Avionics/Engineering: This class feature, obtained at 6th level, functions similarly to the Extreme Weapons System, except it only works on Craft (avionics) and Craft (engines). If repairs are needed on the vehicle’s onboard Avionics, all pilot checks take a -10 until the craft is repaired. If you took the speed boosts below, your engines could cut out completely until repaired. In the atmosphere, the pilot is required to make a Pilot check each round (DC 15). If it is successful, the vehicle drops 1 flight square in altitude, and glides 2 flight squares forward. If failed, the craft tumbles, falling 2 squares downward each round until control is re- established with a Pilot check (DC 20). To land when gliding, a Pilot check (DC 25) must be made. If this check fails, or the craft is falling out of the sky, a Dexterity check (DC 10) must be made to rapidly yank the eject handle. If the craft hits the ground, it crumples and may explode (20% chance), most likely killing the occupants.

Build Avionics: This feature works just like the Build Weapons Feature, and is gained at 8th level. The rules are just the same as above. Craft Design Genius: The Engineer can build vehicles from scratch, at 10th level. The construction cost is 1,000ℓ per point of CR, and no Credit Rating is required. Construction time is three factors higher than the factory-produced model (2-4 weeks for a Fighter, 2-3 months for a Mech or Bomber). Also, these vehicles are slightly more prone to accidents than the factory-built ones, so it must spend one hour in maintenance for every ten hours in the air (or space). Sleeper Agent

Description The sleeper agent is one thing the Cornerian government rarely talks about. This spy, created by a combination of hypnosis, psychology, nanomedicine, and neuroscience is the most capable espionage tool, capable of being deployed to a position years in advance. This is a spy who does not know it. Sleeper agents are “programmed” with hundreds of code words, cover identities, drop points, and other tools of the spy trade. Only a coded message can unlock this knowledge, and it is forgotten when the assignment is over. This works well only in theory, as the brain is not perfect. Player characters are “imperfect” – they dream of people they have never met, and a casual conversation could potentially unlock a torrent of classified information. The Venomians used huge numbers of these agents during the Lylat Wars, but many had identity crises and spurned the regime that birthed them. The fastest path into this class is through the Dedicated Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Skills: Concentration 4 ranks, Sense Motive 6 ranks. Feats: Alertness or Attentive.

Class Features Extra Occupation: At 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th level, the Sleeper Agent gains access to one of her alternate identities. In addition to a crushing amount of personal material, she can gain the knowledge associated with the occupation, such as the added class skills and feats. Despite this, there is no wealth bonus gained for occupations other than your starting one. Autohypnosis: At 2nd level, the Sleeper Agent obtains Autohypnosis as a class skill (she may buy ranks normally for this skill):

Autohypnosis (Wis) You have trained your mind to resist certain injuries and threats while also gaining a few select benefits. Trained only Check: The DC and effect depend on the task you attempt.

Task DC Memorize 15 Tolerate Poison Poison’s DC Willpower 20 Scour deep memories 20

Memorize: You can attempt to memorize a long string of numbers, a long passage of verse, or a particularly difficult piece of information. Each successful check allows you to memorize up to 250 words or the equivalent of what could be comfortably contained on a single sheet of paper. You always retain this information; however, you can recall it only with a successful autohypnosis check. Tolerate Poison: In response to being poisoned, you may make an autohypnosis check on your next action. A successful check grants you a +4 morale bonus on your saving throw to resist the poison’s secondary damage. Willpower: If reduced to 0 hit points (disabled), you can perform a strenuous action without taking one point of damage. A failed check has no penalty; you may choose not to perform the action. If you fail and decide to take the action anyway, you take one point of damage (as normal). Scour Deep Memories: If you fail at a Knowledge check or similar check that does not allow for a retry, you can take a full round action to search your trove of implanted memories for something helpful. If you succeed at a DC 20 Autohypnosis check, you may retry the check with a +4 morale bonus. You may only scour deep memories once per check. Try Again? For Memorize and Scour Deep Memories, you can attempt it once per round. You cannot try again for Tolerate Poison, and only once a round for Willpower. Special: You can take 10 on Autohypnosis, but not 20.

Contact: A Sleeper Agent of 3 level or higher knows passwords and other secret signals that tie her into t c a network of associates and informants. Each time the Sleeper Agent gains a contact, the GM should develop a c a supporting character to represent the contact. Not all of these contacts may be sleeper agents themselves, but a r they could be lesser agents with an order to give the customer what she want if she gives you the three-fingered r a handshake. Contacts include journalists, black marketers, street people, store clerks, air taxi drivers and others a h who can provide limited aid and information. A contact will not risk his or her life, or accompany the Sleeper h C Agent on a mission. Contacts may be called once a week, and compensation is required, either as a favor for a C professional, or money for underworld or street contacts. The compensation is 500 Liras for a low-level contact (Lv1-5), 2500 Liras for mid-level (Lv6-10), and 15000 Liras for high-level (Lv11+) contacts. Extra Talent: At 5th and 8th level, the sleeper agent gains a bonus talent, which can be chosen from a base class in which the character has at least one level. The character must meet the prerequisites normally. Wing Commander

Description Due to the cost and trouble of equipping and deploying small fighter units, a leader with a decisive, strategic mind is required – it can be hard to plan tactics and come away with as little damage as possible to your craft. Wing Commanders are the jack-of-all-trades “coach” for a fighter wing, powered armor team, or even a space combat infantry unit. They are entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the vehicles in order, overseeing repairs when they take damage, and see that the pilots make it home safely. There is a loss of specialization associated with this class, but it should be of little consequence. The fastest path into this class is through the Charismatic Hero, though other paths are possible.

Requirements Skills: Diplomacy 6 ranks, Knowledge (tactics) 3 ranks. Feats: Spacecraft Operation or Armor Proficiency (heavy or powered), Renown.

Class Features Leadership: By directing the actions of others, a Wing Captain can increase his chance of strategic success. This requires a Diplomacy check (DC 10 + the number of allies to be influenced) and a full round action. A success grants a competence bonus on all of his allies’ skill checks for one minute, or a single task if it takes longer than a minute to complete (the bonus is equal to the Wing Captain’s Charisma modifier). All allies to be affected must be within visual and/or audio range of the Wing Captain, and must be able to understand him (not jammed or garbled).

Starfox, the Starfox logo, and all Starfox characters and resources are © Nintendo. Exploit Weakness: At 2nd level, the Wing Captain can designate one opponent and use superior tactics to gain an advantage in a dogfight. The Wing Captain uses a move action and makes an opposed Knowledge (tactics) check. If the check succeeds, the Wing Captain can use his Intelligence modifier instead of his Strength or Dexterity modifier as he finds ways to outthink his opponent and notice weaknesses in their tactics. Bonus Feat: At 3rd and 7th level, the Wing Captain gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must be selected from the following list: Attentive, Confident, Educated, Iron Will, Jack-of-all-Trades, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Toughness, Trustworthy, Vehicle Expert. Prerequisites must be met. Plan: Prior to a dramatic situation, either combat- or skill-related, the Wing Captain can develop a plan of action to handle the situation. Using this talent requires preparation, and the Wing Captain cannot use this ability when surprised or otherwise unaware of the situation. The Wing Captain makes a Knowledge (tactics) check (DC 20). The result of the check provides the Wing Captain and his allies with a circumstance modifier on skill checks and attack rolls (the amount of deviation from the DC is the modifier – if the check is failed, everybody takes a penalty for following a poor plan). This bonus lasts for three rounds. Small-Unit Tactics: Beginning at 5th level, the Wing Captain can use his tactical knowledge to direct his allies during battle. By using an attack action, the Wing Captain can grant any ally (not including himself) a competence bonus on either attack rolls or vehicle Defense. The bonus is equal to the Wing Captain’s Intelligence bonus, and lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1d4 + the Wing Captain’s Charisma modifier. No Sweat: When the Wing Captain spends one action point to improve the result of a die roll, he adds an extra 1d6 (stacks with other bonuses from feats and/or talents). Uncanny Survival: Beginning at 8th level, the Wing Captain can add his Wing Captain class level to his vehicle Defense for one round, once per day. He can declare this as a free action, and it lasts until the start of his next turn. Fast Tactics: At 9th level, the Wing Captain requires less time to direct his allies. He can direct a single ally with a free action, or all of his allies with an attack action. Regardless, the Wing Captain can only use fast tactics once per round. Premonition: At 10th level, the Wing Captain becomes a legendary commander who seemingly knows what the enemy will do before even they do. Whenever the Wing Commander spends an action point to improve a die roll, he rolls an extra 1d6. This ability stacks with No Sweat and any talents which allow you to improve the result of a die roll.

Tips and Tricks

Surrender yourself to metaphor. I've written the plots in the language of (typically very physical) action-adventure genres, because that's the basic form of roleplaying adventure - but if you're playing on more levels than that, the list can still punch its weight. Just remember that every thing, place, and foe can really be a piece of information, person, and unhealthy attitude, as surely as a space station can be a dungeon and a magical residue can be a fingerprint. Double up. A nice basic method is the chameleon game, where an adventure presents itself as one type of story in the "hook layer" but reveals itself as something else. Sometimes, the switch is innocent and natural - Don't Eat the Purple Ones, for example, makes a good hook for Running the Gauntlet, and Most Peculiar, Momma is a logical lead for Pandora's Box. Sometimes, the switch is something more sinister or deliberate, with NPCs selling the adventure as one thing when it's really another. This can still be innocent, in its way, if the NPCs have been duped themselves, or if they're just desperate for help and worried that nobody will be eager to tackle the real problem. Throw yourself a curve. Your players will, anyway, so practice early. Pick two random entries from the Big List and make your adventure on those, no matter what comes up - the first one is the hook layer; the second is the meat of the adventure. If the same entry comes up both times, go with it! Two layers can have a similar structure but very different roots or details. Double up, part two: Some very satisfying adventures weave two separate (or thematically-related) plots together. An easy way to make this work is to make one plot physical and the other plot personal. That way just one of the plots puts demand on the PCs' location, while the other one can tag along anywhere.

Don't Panic. A lot of GMs come to the Big List only once they've begun to panic. Don't crucify yourself just yet! In particular, don't fuss too much over plot, as many GMs do. All of the plots here can provide a tried-and-true, simple structure, and structure is all you need a plot for in a roleplaying game. Remember to play to the strengths of the medium - most all of which are about character, not plot. Only in an RPG can you experience a fictional character on a personal, first-hand level. Outline your adventures to make the most of that. Any plot that contains more than a basic structure is more likely to pull attention away from character, and that's burning the bridge for firewood. All you need to do is be ready to roll with the curves and have fun hamming it up. Relax. Game.

And finally, here's the Little List of Nearly-Universal Plot Twists That Work With Almost Any Plot Ever:

 The PCs must work alongside an NPC or organization they'd rather not pal around with (those who are normally rivals or villains, or just a snooty expert sent along to "help" them, etc).  The victims are really villains and the villains are really victims.  The PCs meet others who can help them, but won't unless the PCs agree to help them with their own causes.  The villain is somebody the PCs know personally, even respect or love (or someone they fall for, mid-story).  The PCs must succeed without violence, or with special discretion. The PCs must succeed without access to powers, equipment, or other resources they're used to having.  The villain is a recurring foil. Another group comparable to the PCs has already failed to succeed, and their bodies/equipment/etc provide clues to help the PCs do better.  There are innocents nearby that the PCs must keep safe while dealing with the adventure.  The adventure begins suddenly and without warning or buildup; the PCs are tossed into the fire of action in scene one.  The PCs must pretend to be someone else, or pretend to be themselves but with very different allegiances, values or tastes.  The PCs can't do everything and must choose: Which evil to thwart? Which innocents to rescue? Which value or ideal to uphold?  The PCs must make a personal sacrifice or others will suffer.  The PCs aren't asked to solve the problem, just to render aid against a backdrop of larger trouble: get in a shipment of supplies, sneak out a patient that needs medical help, or so on.  One of the PCs is (or is presumed to be) a lost heir, fulfillment of a prophecy, a volcano god, or some other savior and/or patsy, which is why the PCs must do whatever the adventure is about.  There is another group of PC-like characters "competing" on the same adventure, possibly with very different goals for the outcome.

In the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game and d20 Future, equipment uses the Wealth Bonus system. Characters have a Wealth Bonus, and use it to make checks against an items Purchase DC. In Lylat, a currency called the Lira (ℓ, based on an old Earth currency) is used. To facilitate the purchase of items from either of these books, use the Purchase DC table on page 145 of d20 Future – the prices given are the same in Dollars as they are in Liras.

Weapons

Weapons are greatly varied equipment designed to damage objects and life forms. Such devices range from an axe, sword, or club to railguns, firearms, and laser weapons. Every weapon has its flaws and strong points, and there is no true “best gun”. When you want a job done right, you have to make sure you know your equipment beforehand – many a recon mission has failed because of improper choice of sidearms. Several types of weapons are given below just as they are in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game; this is simply to make it easier for players to find information quickly. All costs are in Liras (ℓ).

Sidearms

Your average, every day, Joe-blow-off-the-street weapons. These can be found anywhere, everybody has one, and they are easy as pie to conceal. All military personnel are trained in their use, and most people have had some experience with them, if only in self-defense.

Mini Laser Pistol 30ft. Laser 2d4 20 S 30 box T 650 1lb.

Laser weapons are the tried and true staple of most military forces and mercenaries. The prime advantages over projectile weapons are their better range and accuracy due to lack of projectile mass – they are unaffected by gravity and wind. Laser weapons are known to be relatively reliable, and pack a 30ft laser sight. Laser weapons draw power from Sarium Krellide power cells, and don’t really have much in the line of magazine limitations – though they do occasionally need recharging. Taim & Beck Corp. is Corneria’s chief supplier for laser weapons. Plasma weaponry is mostly useful against personnel. The plasma bolt deforms on contact with flesh, causing massive damage for its size. On metal armor such as the side of a starship, however, all it does is heat and perhaps warp the metal slightly before dissipating. This is very useful for crewmembers aboard starships, as you don’t want to accidentally punch a hole in the hull if your weapon misfires.

Auto Laser Pistol This pistol can fire at a much higher rate than other Laser Pistols. The added cooling makes it twice as heavy as the Laser Pistol, but the Auto Laser is more accurate than an automatic projectile weapon. This weapon has a Burst Fire mode.

These are the standard-issue sidearms for all starship-bound forces throughout the system. The MkI fires m p

a small bolt of plasma, and has very little recharge time between shots (2d4 damage, semiauto fire). The MkII p i variant, however, sacrifices this recharge time in return for a more powerful shot, and is often used for personal i u defense and in situations where the first shot is the only one that counts (2d6 damage, single fire). Also u q available is a downgraded MkIa, only capable of temporarily stunning an adversary (deals 2d4 subdual damage) q E – these are usually issued to cadets at military academies, for personal defense. These weapons give way to E lasers on the battlefield, as they have little use against armor and are only effective at short range. This is the only ranged weapon that does not require ammunition, at the cost of low damage and range. All Blasters suffer a –1 penalty on attack rolls vs. armored targets. All characters in the Military, Police, or Adventurer careers who are stationed on a starship or space station are issued this weapon for free upon creation or when they are assigned to their spacefaring vessel.

Heavy Laser A beefier version of the Laser Pistol, the Heavy Laser has a greater range and a more damaging beam. This weapon is a favorite among bounty hunters and large races.

Holdout Laser The Holdout Laser is a weapon of last resort due to its short range, tiny power supply, and anemic emitter. Also known as a “Lady’s Pistol”. It is sometimes used as an off-hand weapon for people who dual-wield pistols.

Laser Pistol The Laser pistol is a well-balanced sidearm and the most commonly seen weapon in the Lylat System. It is commonly used by mercenaries, officers, and non-military personnel who want something a little more powerful than a holdout laser. This item is standard issue to all military and police forces.

Mini Laser Pistol Mini Laser Pistols are a common sidearm, but most non-combat personnel use it as a primary weapon. The emitter is weak, but it has decent range. Sometimes used as an off-hand weapon. Longarms

These are larger than sidearms, and are carried mainly by military personnel. They are difficult to conceal, usually require two hands to use, and make large flashes when fired. They are, however, amazingly powerful in combat, and most capital ships of any size will have an armory with a few of these. These weapons require the Personal Firearms Proficiency feat.

Laser Hunting Rifle The Laser Hunting Rifle is a long-ranged and somewhat bulky weapon, but it reduces size and complexity by using a simple cooling system and an internal power pack. This method reduces magazine size and rate of fire, but the weapon is actually less expensive to manufacture than the laser rifle. It includes an electro-optical scope.

Laser Rifle Laser rifles are the primary weapon of the Cornerian and Venomian Armies. This gun is proven, durable, and possesses both Automatic and Burst Fire trigger groups.

u u Laser Sniper Rifle

p p Laser sniper rifles are small and light for something of this power and complexity. It is

m m constructed from plastic composites, and the only metal parts are the actual laser itself, and the scope – an electro-optical scope, like the .50 Sniper Rifle (pg.45).

n n Light Laser Rifle

t t This scaled-down version of the laser rifle packs a decent punch, great range, and Autofire capability, with a modest price for a laser weapon.

Plasma Rifle Plasma rifles use a new technology to compress almost any fluid medium (usually air) into a tiny hollow cartridge, inject a spark of over 500,000 volts, and discharge the cartridge using electromagnets in a fashion similar to the Railgun. When this round hits a target, it fractures, discharging the superheated plasma into the surface of the target. The advantage of this cartridge system over that employed in blasters, is that it is equally effective against armored targets due to the hardness of the steel cartridge – and therefore does not suffer a penalty against armored targets.

Railgun Rifle The Railgun Rifle is the new kid on the block, based on a failed Terran weapon prototype of the early 21st Century. The device uses electromagnets to accelerate a fin-shaped Aluminum dart to approximately Mach 3.2. due to the amazingly high velocity and sectional density of the projectile, this weapon has terrific armor-piercing capability; it may ignore 1 point of vehicle Hardness, and also gets a +1 Circumstance Bonus to attack rolls vs. armored targets. Firing rate is appallingly slow due to the single-shot magazine, but it makes up for it in raw firepower. Due to the wear on the rails, this weapon wears out after ten shots – though it may be fully repaired by replacing the rails (Repair DC 25). These rare and powerful weapons are not available for sale to the public, nor are they found among military forces. There are rumors of them cropping up on the black market, however… Heavy Weapons

Weapons from this class are certainly the most powerful weapons one could carry. Price and weight are big problems with such equipment, and the reason why so few parties without large wallets and an Ursine carry them. These cannons tend to be high-maintenance tools. An electronics package similar to the one on Heavy Projectile weapons is carried. For Large creatures, these require the Advanced Firearms Proficiency feat to use without penalty; for Medium-size creatures, they each require a separate Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat.

Gatling Laser Gatling lasers are capable of rapid automatic fire, and have a large magazine. The weapon operates by alternating between four or more ionization chambers, rather than one. While one chamber is recharging, the next one fires, dramatically increasing the firing rate. This weapon often sees use on small military vehicles.

Laser Cannon Laser Cannons are chopped-down versions of the Argon-fueled Laser Cannon sported by many vehicles and starships. As a result, their range suffers, and the smaller cooling unit cannot cope with more than one shot per round. The necessary modifications to the power input make the weapon slower to reload.

This p i weapon suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls vs. armored targets. i u u q Rail Cannon q E Impressive range and power mark this unusual weapon. Capable of firing an Aluminum dart at up to E Mach 6, the Rail Cannon punches through armor easily. Loading a new projectile without accidentally discharging it slows the rate of fire. Rail Cannons may ignore 1 point of vehicle Hardness when applying damage, and gets a +1 Circumstance Bonus to attack rolls vs. armored targets. This weapon is not available for sale to the public. Melee Weapons

These weapons are manufactured commonly, or can be adapted from tools and miscellaneous gear.

Stun Gun -- Electricity 1d3 20 S 30 1lb.

Baton This metal rod is a convenient melee weapon for striking at close range.

Brass Knuckles These heavy metal rings allow you to do lethal damage when unarmed. For all other effects, attacking with brass knuckles counts as an unarmed strike.

Chain 7 feet of steel chain. When used as a double weapon, it counts as a light offhand weapon. You may make a trip attack with this weapon. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you may drop the chain to avoid being tripped. Some have iron spikes on the chain links, changing the damage type to “slashing”.

Chainsaw Cuts wooden doors rapidly. Rarely used as a weapon, but could do some ugly things to an arm, leg, or tail.

Club Easily crafted out of a heavy object like a baseball bat or hard wooden branch.

Knife Knives come in many styles, from an aviator’s survival knife, to a knife cobbled out of obsidian or sheet metal scraps. Survival Knives are discussed in greater detail under Survival Gear.

Stun Gun Actually shaped like a baton or radio transmitter, not a gun. when a foe is hit, they must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + Damage Dealt) or be paralyzed for a number of rounds equal to twice the damage dealt. The Taser is a ranged weapon with similar effect. Explosives

u u How to make things go BOOM…let me count the ways. Explosives are critical in breaching blast doors,

p p undermining tank treads, and knocking down large amounts of troops. In short, most of these weapons use a

m m chemical process to explode, others use matter/antimatter reactions, others use advanced plasma burst technology – at a steep price.

Dynamite This stick of chemical explosive is a centuries-old standby. It has a fuse that can be trimmed to go off in 2 rounds to 20 minutes, or it can use an electrical igniter. The fuse will NOT light in a vacuum. it comes in boxes of 12 sticks, and the damage and blast radius can be increased by adding more sticks (+1d6 and 2ft. per stick), to a maximum of 10d6 and 20ft.

Detcord This pliable orange cord can be used to cut trees and fence posts, or link charges together. The blast is 1d6 per 5 ft of cord in a square, with a maximum of 4d6.

Grenade Rounds These bulky cylinders fit into the chambers of a Grenade Launcher, gaining range and accuracy. These cannot be thrown.

Grenade, Fragmentation These grenades can be thrown and they can inflict massive wounds on personnel, and bruise lightly armored craft. The problem is that the increased range of the fragments poses a threat to the user, as well.

Grenade, Plasma Burst Your average, ordinary, everyday explosive grenade. Instead of conventional explosives, such as gunpowder, Lylatians use a plasma core. When armed, the grenade sets off a chain reaction that results in the core rupturing about 3-5 seconds later, in a very violent – and deadly – burst.

Grenade, Smoke These grenades create a 20x20 ft cloud of smoke that lasts for 6 rounds, giving total concealment to creatures inside it. Strong winds disperse it in 3 rounds. These are often used as signals, and come in white, blaze orange, red, green, purple, and many other colors…

Grenade, Tear Gas Tear Gas grenades create a 20x20 ft cloud of irritating vapors that blind a target for 2d10 rounds if they fail a Fort Save (DC 15). The cloud disperses in 6 rounds. A gas mask, Powered armor, pressure suit, or NBC suit renders you immune to tear gas, and a wet cloth wrapped around the muzzle will provide a +2 bonus on saves.

Thermite grenades are one sparkler, king size, with a detonator. Throw one of these down an artillery m p

cannon barrel for a nice light show. Very nasty effects on personnel, but better served as an anti-material p i device. A reflex save (DC 20) prevents those within the burst radius from catching on fire. i u u q Grenade, WP q E The dreaded white phosphorus grenade. This is an incendiary weapon, and allows a Reflex save (DC 15) E for half damage.

Plasma Demolitions Charge A small brick-shaped charge designed to demolish small buildings or vehicles. It sets off a small fusion reaction, generating plasma and obliterating anything within the blast radius. Each additional charge adds 4d6 to damage, and 2 ft to the burst radius, to a maximum of 20ft.

Plasma Railgun Round A specially-designed round for the Railgun. It has a Teflon backing, and is made of a special alloy of Antimony and Aluminum to promote vaporization. Upon firing, the round plasmifies. This round adds +1d4 to damage, but loses the normal bonuses against armor. Exotic Weapons

These weapons are unusual in some way, and don’t fit in the other categories. Some are makeshift weapons, others are simply too rare or difficult to use. Each of them requires an Exotic Weapon Proficiency, or else the user suffers a –4 to all attack rolls.

Concussion Rifle This device is bulkier than a stun rifle, but also has more firepower. It operates by firing concentrated sound waves, having about the same effect on a target as hitting it over the head with a two-by-four.

Flamethrower This weapon mixes two chemical compounds to produce a 20ft long cone of fire 10 ft wide at the end (DC 20 to evade). Targets hit must make a reflex save (DC 20) or catch on fire for 1d4 rounds. While on fire, a creature takes 2d4 points of damage per round.

Flare Gun This large diameter pistol fires a signal flare that is visible from about 18 miles away. This device can be put to use as a weapon that causes the target to ignite, regardless of a reflex save. The target is on fire for 1d4 rounds, and takes 2d4 points of damage each round.

Laser Cutter This device is found in most toolkits and machine shops, and suffers a –4 penalty to attack rolls due to its makeshift nature. It is ineffective beyond one range increment.

u u Pepper Spray

p p This eye irritant spray, with a maximum range of 5 feet, is small and inexpensive. When hit, the target

m m must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be blinded for 1d8 rounds.

e e Plasma Cutter

n n This unreliable cutting tool has a maximum range of one increment. It is not as efficient as the Laser

t t equivalent, but it does get the job done. This is the only plasma-based device that does not suffer against armor. Stun Rifle Stun rifles use a burst of sonic energy to immobilize the target.

Taser This pistol-like device uses compressed air or springs to launch a pair of darts at a target. When the darts penetrate, the target is electrocuted. When hit, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + damage dealt) or be paralyzed for a number of rounds equal to twice the damage dealt. Archaic Weapons

Weapons from Terran history, these weapons are true museum pieces. Most people don’t know how to use them, but they are no less effective than they were on Earth. They are all covered by the Archaic Weapons Proficiency feat.

Axe A sharp cutting head on a wooden or metal shaft. Usually used by woodsmen, but can be turned into a weapon if one finds the need.

Greatsword A Longsword on steroids. These are over 4½ feet long, and weigh a ton. They are ungainly and difficult to use, but do massive damage if you hack something with them.

Katana Ancient Japanese sword. Only sharp on the leading edge.

Longsword Weapon of old Terran knights, decent sized sword. Average length is about three feet including hilt and blade, and is equally good at piercing or slashing. Blade is sharp on both edges.

Rapier A fencing foil gone bad. These are used for lethal duels, and can be acquired for “other” uses as well. Sharp point, but poor slashing ability.

Shortsword Sword that is small and pierces (can slash too), but only useful a close range weapon. Blade is sharp on both edges.

Sling A leather pouch and some string. Uses rocks as ammo, and therefore can be used effectively when you’re out of SK fuel cells. Projectile Firearms

To some, these weapons may seem outdated. Nevertheless, to the Lylatian adventurer on a tight budget, they are a boon. The Cornerian Army sometimes trains its soldiers in the use of these weapons as sidearms, because only armor can protect against them, not shields – most shielding systems are designed for use against Laser- and Plasma-type attacks. All handguns except the holdout pistol include a laser sight, which gives a +1 to attack rolls made within 30ft. in low-light conditions. These weapons can be difficult to find at a local weapons dealer, but pawn shops and junk sales often have some lying about. Ammunition can be found in the most unlikely of places – junkyards, abandoned buildings, and dumps – in addition to wherever the weapons are sold. These weapons are unsafe in a Zero-G environment, due to the recoil of internal combustion. Alternately, players can purchase the weapons found in the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game, or any of its supplements – though they may be a little behind the tech curve. All Projectile Weapons are considered Exotic, as most people do not train in their use. They are all covered by the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Projectile) Feat.

p p .22 Holdout Gun

m m A compact revolver designed to function as a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW), or as a concealable handgun for espionage. It is small enough to carry in a pocket or similar compartment, and cannot be

e e discovered unless a Search or Spot check (depending on circumstances) is made against the Hide check used to

n n conceal the weapon. This weapon is mainly made of plastic, and can pass by sensor scans when unloaded.

t t Fires .22LR ammunition.

.38 Revolver This revolver was designed for police forces, and is a capable sidearm. The slow reload time (unless one uses a speedloader) makes it impractical for combat use, but it has decent firepower. The round has the same rim dimensions as a 9mm, but a longer cartridge and no copper jacket. Fires .38 Special ammunition.

.44 Magnum This is a handheld cannon. It fires the single most powerful round of all handguns, but at a cost. The immense recoil makes it difficult to use without proper training, and the fantastic flash and thunderclap of firing make it extremely dangerous in close quarters. It has good armor penetration, and large stopping power. Fires . 44 Magnum bullets.

.45 Pistol This powerful handgun is a true workhorse. Trouble is, a big round in a handgun will make it kick like an irate mule. The .45 is unreliable if badly maintained, but with regular cleaning, jams will be very rare and the weapon could last a lifetime. This weapon sacrifices armor penetration for superb stopping power, and is a sure bet when you need to put down a target with one shot. Fires .45ACP rounds. This weapon suffers a –1 penalty on damage vs. vehicle Hardness and to attack rolls vs. armored targets.

9mm Pistol This recoil-operated weapon is used by the Cornerian Army for training, but is only given out in emergency situations. Some 9mm Automatic guns have a burst-fire setting to use with the feat, but cost an additional 150ℓ (and are much more difficult to find). Fires 9mm Para ammunition.

These weapons have more her Blaze Gun sophisticated onboard electronics than Sidearms, which include a rangefinder (out to 12 range increments), a friend or foe ID receiver, and a 30ft. laser sight. Anyone with a good toolkit or machine shop and a college engineering course can refurbish one of these weapons – many Toads enjoy doing it for “nostalgia”. Refurbishing a junked Projectile Longarm requires a Craft (Mechanical) check, DC 25, and 100ℓ for materials. These weapons gain a +2 Circumstance Bonus to attack rolls against shielded targets, and take a -2 penalty to attack rolls against an adjacent target.

4.7mm Rifle A new spin on an antique weapon used in the early days of Corneria, the 4.7mm Rifle is a well-rounded projectile weapon firing caseless ammunition. This gun has a burst-fire mode. This weapon is commonly manufactured on Macbeth, because its factories are smaller and less advanced. Fires 4.7mm Caseless rounds. .375 Hunting Rifle This longarm has a long barrel, and an electro-optical scope that can increase range increments by a factor of 1.5 with a full round action. Anyone who hunts dinosaurs on Fortuna will have used one of these on several occasions. The weapon has an extremely simple bolt action with few pieces. It is easily repaired and cleaned, but it slows firing rate dramatically. Despite that, it remains reliable under the worst conditions. The internal magazine is clunky to some, but monitoring ammo usage will save you much pain in the field. Fires .375 Magnum rounds.

.50 Sniper Rifle A bulky, bipod-mounted rifle, this gun is unmatched by most projectile weapons in damage and is king of range, except when compared to some lasers and the rocket launcher. An electro- optical sight (same as the Hunting Rifle) increases range by 1.5 times when a target is acquired. It loads from a box magazine, and fires on semiautomatic. This is a maintenance-heavy weapon when conditions are very poor. Fires .50BMG ammunition.

12-ga. Shotgun Military forces and mercenaries use this venerable firearm rarely. It creates a 30ft. long cone of shot that is 15ft. wide at the end (Reflex save for half damage, DC 20). When it is used, it is mainly for door breaching and room clearing. Fires Shotgun Shells.

Heavy Projectile weaponry does loads of damage, but costs more, and more importantly weighs more. Some accelerate ammunition to speeds where it effectively pierces armor. These weapons are used primarily against shielded vehicles and troops, as shields easily stop the majority of damage from other weapons. In addition, these weapons are generally easy to fix. A computer package equivalent to that on a longarm is standard, minus the laser sight. Falco shows off his new Rocket Launcher and Grenade Launcher Laminate Suit This stocky piece of equipment can carry many types of grenade rounds in its revolver-style loader. A grenade round can travel a very good distance this way, so it is much safer than throwing hand grenades in an open area. This weapon may only be purchased by the Military or Police professions.

Rocket Launcher Humans perfected this recoilless rocket launch tube during the late 20th century. The rocket is fin-stabilized and uses solid jet fuel.

e e .50 Machine Gun

n n A throwback to the days of old, this heavy gun needs to be set up on a tripod for most to use it. The entire

t t magazine can be fired to create a 20x20 area affected by auto. This gun is used by some militias, and is used as a vehicle weapon in some old-style helicopters and ground vehicles – even a few hovercars sport these. This is the only weapon to still use linked ammunition in a belt, and requires a second person to feed the belt through. If no second is present, the weapon may only be fired on semiautomatic. Fires .50BMG ammunition.

1.2” Antitank Rifle This very large, smoothbore rifle can punch through light armor. Ammo loads through a box magazine, and a tripod mount is needed, unless wielded by a Large-size creature. It uses a special type of ammunition, similar in appearance to a small steel nail with fins. These have an effect very similar to the Rail Cannon when fired, and have an almost flat trajectory. This weapon may ignore 1 points of vehicle Hardness when applying damage. Fires 1.2” Flechettes. Ammunition

All ranged weapons other than Blasters require some form of ammunition. Laser weapons need a Sarium- Krellide fuel cell to provide the energy necessary to generate light, and projectile weapons need projectile ammunition. These can be found anywhere the weapons are sold, for a price. Fuel cells can be recharged only at a proper recharging unit, usually found in a weapons storage area. This process takes 1 minute per shot recharged, and they may be recharged at any time (not just when they are empty).

Getting shot is not fun. Getting shot without armor is sure to ruin your day. Therefore, a variety of i i protective items have been produced by various companies to put the odds in your favor. Most armor is u u

classified as one of three classes: q q E Light Armor E Light Armor offers minimal protection, but is lightweight and comfortable. Usually made of ProTech ® Laminate plates or layered Kevlar. It is often used by VIPs and undercover personnel who don’t want to go unprotected, but can’t afford to look conspicuous.

Medium Armor This is the next step up, in both protection and bulk. It is substantially heavier than comparable lighter armor, and usually made from ProTech® layered Kevlar combined with steel or ceramic composite plates.

Heavy Armor This is the best protection money can buy. It will stop all but the most powerful weapons, but it has about as much maneuverability as a lead brick. Armor this heavy is rarely used, but sometimes finds service in the hands of special forces for bomb disposal or forced entry, and starship boarding crews.

*Ballistic plates Steel or Duramic® brand ceramic composite plates can be added to Kevlar armor, increasing the protection against all threats at the cost of added weight and less maneuverability. The given stats are cumulative with the armor’s usual statistics – therefore, a Flak Vest with a Ceramic Plate has an AC Bonus of +6 and a MAX DEX of +2, and is classified as Heavy Armor. The prices and statistics given are for a pair of plates, one each covering the front and back of the torso.

Laminate Vest This vest, imbedded with ProTech® composite plates, is not the most durable armor, but it is light, flexible, and cheap. It is the most commonly found armor, as it is no less comfortable than an ordinary outerwear vest, while providing some slight protection. Some “inconspicuous” models are designed to look like an ordinary outerwear vest, and require a Spot check (DC 15) to distinguish; These models cost an additional 15ℓ.

u u Hazard Vest, Type 1

p p This is simply a Laminate Vest with extra pockets and snaps to attach more equipment, and a few items

m m included. You may not wear a Load-Bearing Vest over this armor, and it does not come in an “inconspicuous” model. Included items are:

n n  ReBreather

t t  Flash Goggles  Flashlight  Multitool

Laminate Suit This bodysuit, fundamentally similar to the laminate vest, tightly covers one's torso, arms, and legs. this armor is appropriate when stealth is necessary, due to its light weight and flexibility. From a distance, this often looks like a wetsuit or flight jumpsuit. This armor includes gloves.

IUA Shirt This seemingly normal T-shirt has a band of protective material attached on the torso area. It is less encumbering than a Laminate Suit, but it has a higher cost. No Sleight of Hand check is required to conceal this armor, as it is worn in place of a shirt – when attempting to discern the protective nature of this shirt, the Spot check DC is 18. The acronym in the name stands for “Integrated Undercover Armor”.

Concealable Vest This is a close-fitting vest made of several layers of Kevlar, with an inner layer of refractive gel to soften blows and protect against Laser-type attacks. This armor may be concealed underneath ordinary clothing – to do so, make a Sleight of Hand check. The number rolled is the DC required for a successful Spot check to detect the presence of the armor. These vests are issued free to all members of the Police profession.

Flak Vest This is an outer vest made of the same layered Kevlar as the Concealable Vest. It has more layers of protective Kevlar, a second ceramic layer, slightly thicker gel lining, all of which combine to give it a better chance against any attack. These vests are issued free to all members of the Military profession.

Hazard Vest, Type 2 This is a Flak Vest with extra equipment attached via Velcro straps and belt pouches. You may not wear a Load-Bearing Vest over this armor. Included items are:

 Rebreather  Flash Goggles  Flashlight  Multitool  Combat Rations (2 days)  Space Blanket  TerSat Receiver  HEV Scanner

Tactical Vest ProTech®’s layered Kevlar torso jacket and ballistic helmet provide protection from a variety of attack types. This armor offers a permanent friend-or-foe identifier (ID imbed required for target acquisition) that can be disabled if necessary. The helmet visor is our new FlashGuard™ auto-darkening carbon nanotube composite, which is as good as a pair of flash goggles. A HyperGlo™ illuminator is installed on the helmet. The Kevlar helmet does not have a layer of ceramic powder or refractive gel, so it provides no protection to energy attacks directed at the wearer’s head (no AC bonus on called headshots).

These suits offer some protection against attack, but most of them are designed to protect the user from an entirely different threat – explosive decompression. Few living beings can live in the vacuum of space, as their body’s internal pressure causes them to die an agonizing death by explosion. These suits are reinforced and designed to allow characters to venture forth from the confines of their spacefaring vessel, for whatever reason. All these suits include gloves, boots, and a full-face helmet. Some of these suits are also Powerized, meaning that they have servos and motors to facilitate ease of movement despite immense weight – obviously, this has little effect in zero gravity, but is a terrific boon when onboard a starship. They are often used by boarding crews and heavy assault teams, as they offer the utmost protection along with pressurization, should a mistake cause a hull breach. Like vehicles, these suits have unusual statistics. Speed is given in Character Scale, with the number of rounds of fuel capacity given after. When wearing one of these suits, regardless of armor class, a character’s speed on foot is 15. Each suit has its own Hardness, reflecting the durability of the material and construction. Consumables describes life support systems, including breathing apparatus and a water bladder for drinking. Character cannot eat while in a pressure suit, unless they remove the helmet – assistance. Some suits even include shields, but they are much weaker than those used on vehicles.

It always pays to have the right tool for the job. It doesn’t hurt to have a place to put it, somewhere to i i spend the night, and something to eat, either. In this section, you’ll find everything your character could u u

possibly need to get on in the world, from backpacks to silencers to hotels to medical expenses. q q E E General Equipment

This section covers the wide variety of general gear available to adventurers of all sorts. Many of the objects in this section are battery-operated. Any device that uses batteries comes with them. As a general rule, ignore battery life – assume that heroes (and their antagonists) are smart enough to recharge or replace their batteries between adventures, and that the batteries last as long as needed during adventures. If battery life is important in the game, roll 1d20 every time a battery-operated item is used. On a result of 1, the batteries are dead and the object is useless. New batteries cost 5ℓ and can be changed as a move action.

Equipment Tables Size: The size category of a piece of equipment helps to determine how easy that object is to conceal, and it also indicates whether using the object requires one hand or two. In general, a character needs only one hand to use any object that is of his or her size category or smaller. Weight: This column gives the item’s weight. Cost: the price tag for the item, in Liras (ℓ). Credit: Some larger items, such as housing, are too costly to measure in Liras. Instead, use a Credit Rating check, with this as the DC.

ReBreather This apparatus covers the face and connects to a chemical air filter canister to protect the lungs and eyes from toxic gases. It provides total protection from eye and lung irritants. The filter canister lasts for 12 hours of use. Changing a filter is a move action. The Cost for one extra filter canister is 6ℓ. This item does not permit underwater breathing, and cannot be used in conjunction with SCUBA gear.

Survival Knife This knife is specifically designed to aid in wilderness survival. It has a sharp leading edge, a serrated trailing edge for cutting rope (+2 to Use Rope checks involving cutting), a sharpening stone in the sheath, and a survival kit hidden within the grip. This kit contains:

 Compass  Fishing kit  Litmus paper (1)  Matches, waterproof (3)  Sewing kit

This kit may be removed, and the grip can then store one object of Diminutive size, or one Chemical Light Stick. In addition, the knife may be used as a weapon, with the same stats as an ordinary knife.

Scope Nightvision: This functions the same as the electro-optical scope in daylight, and allows the user to see as if with darkvision during the night. Infrared: This scope functions the same as the electro-optical scope, except when activated. When activated (via a button on the side, as a free action), the scope shows the world in a deep blue, with living beings displayed as heat signatures in various shades of red and yellow. This allows the user to see as if with darkvision, even through thin doors and walls (though the weapon may not be able to penetrate them). This negates any and all benefits the target may normally receive from cover, including total concealment.

Suppressor Suppressors may be purchased for laser weapons; add 50ℓ to the base cost.

s s The Lylat System

The Lylat System is a star system approximately 40 light-years away from Earth. It consists of nine planets, listed in order of their proximity to the Lylatian sun, Solar. Each planet has its own calendar system, climate, native races, and four of them have independent governments. The Lylat system is rather compact, with some planets sharing orbits. Katina and Venom share the same orbit, always on opposite sides of Solar. Macbeth shares a similar orbit perpendicular to the two, and Zoness has a similar relationship with Corneria. The entire system is about the size of the Terran System, out to and including Saturn. Papetoon Government Papetoon does not have an independent Size government, instead functioning much as a colony Papetoon is the smallest planet in the Lylat under Cornerian rule.

This greatly reduces the planet’s gravitational Titania field (.25g), and all citizens must wear weighted Size boots to facilitate movement with any efficiency. Titania is roughly the same size as Corneria, These boots are usually sold for a minimal fee at putting its diameter at about 7,500 miles. spaceports.

i i Classifications

e e Because of the variety of vehicles found in the Lylat System, they have been further classified based on

s s their various strengths and abilities – this will hopefully make it easier for both players and the GM to find the proper vehicle in any given situation. These classifications have no effect on stats.

Starship Construction Times Class Size Time Fighter* Ultralight Hours Mech Ultralight Days Bomber Ultralight Days Light Cruiser Light 1-2 weeks Frigate Medium 2-4 weeks Heavy Cruiser Heavy 2-3 months Battleship Heavy 6-8 months Dreadnought Ultraheavy 12-18 months Superdread Ultraheavy 2-3 years *Advanced Fighters are not available for mass production.

Pod Unmanned drone fighters or escape pods (like a detached Arwing cockpit). If they have weapons, they are only the least powerful energy weapons available, and for propulsion, only multiple directional thrusters for maneuvering possibly with a main thruster for relocation. Possibly with shields, but that is stretching the limits. Size is 4 meters or less.

Mech Usually a sort of mechanical suit worn by an individual, may also include small robots or vehicles that do not fit into other categories. These are usually highly specialized, very heavily armored, and slow. Size is 4 meters or less.

Fighter Fighters are light aircraft designed primarily for the destruction of other fighters, bombers, and at the limit, small gunships. They're all one-man craft. Squads are almost always given the same type of craft, though squad leaders and aces are often granted improved equipment such as more powerful weapons, shielding, or other special capabilities. Size is 10-20 meters.

Superiority Fighter These fighters are made with maneuverability in mind. Shielding and armor is at most light- moderate, being able to withstand only a half-dozen at most shots from a standard laser weapon. Armament consists of either a single or double nose-mounted cannon. Used equally in offensive and defensive roles against other small craft. Atmospheric fighters of this type are all subsonic. Examples would include the Greenie or Invader I (Invader II takes the midground between this and the following Interceptor class).

Interceptor Interceptors are designed with speed in mind. Shielding and armor meet the same restrictions as for Superiority Fighters, however, maneuverability is significantly worse. Weapons could range from the same front mounted cannon to AA missiles, nova bombs, or a small torpedo. An example would be the Invader III.

Advanced Fighter These craft far outstrip all their conventional counterparts and are only granted to squads of the best (and most valuable) pilots. Contrary to their lesser brethren, these craft could withstand dozens of blasts before breaking apart with advanced weaponry, shielding, instruments, engines, and other systems as well as hulls made out of stronger, more expensive materials. The Arwing and Wolfen are perfect examples of this. All elite fighters are capable of atmospheric entry and launch.

s Devastator Remember the Destroyer, a giant weapon of mass destruction? This is bigger. Whether used for orbital bombardment or assaulting enemy capital ships of similar or larger size, the Devastator is a great trump card. Watch out, though – The Devastator must sacrifice much for this advantage, in that the gun may only shoot directly in front of the ship (Though on some rare crossbreeds it could be on a fully-rotating turret...There might even be one forward and rear, or top and bottom, etc) and Cruiser-class ships can easily outmaneuver this if they are wary. AA defenses are reasonable, though less potent than a battlecruiser's, so enemy destroyers are the primary threat, bombers secondary. Devastators rarely have enough hangar space for more than cargo ships and transports (which are required for all capital ships).

Carrier The carrier is meant for one thing and one thing only, as a mobile base for fighters and to a larger extent bombers, which find little room on other craft. These ships are often more boxy than others to provide more space at the cost of hull strength. Battlecruiser-sized Carriers may house from 10-20 squads of fighters as well as 4-12 bomber squads. Carriers have very modest armament, usually limited to AA turrets (a third as many as on a battlecruiser) but sometimes with one or two anti-capital ship guns for use against obstinate Frigates.

Battleship The Battleship is a huge capitol ship, spanning from 250-500 meters, and a crew of 300-800. It comes in the same three standard configurations as a Heavy Cruiser, except with four times the armament and fighter capacity. Some Carrier-class Battleships even have the ability to house and repair Cruiser-class ships! The gun on a Devastator-class battleship, in addition, is capable of crippling a Battlecruiser with a single shot.

Dreadnought/Superdread Dreadnoughts and Superdreads are not precisely classes of ship. Specialized configurations of these would be extremely rare as allowing such a massive undertaking to have that kind of vulnerabilities is a poor idea. A Devastator Dreadnought would have extreme difficulty targeting a Battlecruiser, and a Superdread would have equal difficulty tracking even a Battleship. However, both such weapons might make up for this by being capable of destroying entire cities in a single blast if left unchecked. All such ships would be dealt with on case-by-case basis, but guidelines for size and crew size might range from 600-1200 meters and 1000-4000 crewmembers for Dreadnoughts and 1500-5000 and 5000-25000 for Superdreads, respectively. At such a scale, Dreadnoughts would need to be treated less like ships and more like a full scale military installation, and on Superdreads, a military structure would be unfeasible and they would be literally a city, with civilian inhabitants, with biospheres and factories capable of producing their own fighters, even assembling capitol ships docked onto the side. It would be a mobile space station. Venom has one confirmed Superdread as of the Great Lylat Wars, named BOLSE. Corneria has none.

This vessel was modified to have extremely powerful engines, and is capable of outrunning almost anything if necessary. Weaponry includes 2 fire-linked Ion Cannons and 2 fire-linked Particle Cannons, all stationary and forward-firing.

Greenie Standard Cornerian Space Superiority Fighter. Weaponry includes one Laser Cannon, advanced versions can carry missiles and may be upgraded to have a second Laser Cannon (fire-linked with the first).

Landmaster A heavy assault tank built by Slippy Toad. Weaponry includes one Hyperlaser and a Nova Bomb Launcher, both firing through the main cannon.

Pegasus Series A high-quality Fighter/Bomber class built using many components from the Arwing. The first prototypes were tested around the same time as the Arwing MkI, and could be considered competitors. The stats shown above are for a generic Pegasus-class craft, but for a more detailed campaign, separate stats are given below. All craft were designed with G-Diffusers and FTL Drives, though the dependability of the technology implemented may be questionable.

AF-2A Pegasus The first design in the series, this craft was intended to serve as a new model of superiority fighter. Production proved to be too expensive, however, and it only got assigned to select elite squadrons and officers. Only weapon is a single Laser Cannon.

AF-2B Pegasus II This design picked up where the previous left off, using cheaper methods and lighter parts. It is consequently faster and more maneuverable, and is the most commonly seen variant in the series (along with the SE variant). It sports a single Laser Cannon, like its predecessor.

AF-2C Pegasus Duo This is a bomber variant of the basic fighter craft. It has a more powerful engine, more wingspace, and requires an additional crewmember to operate the targeting systems. It has a single Laser Cannon as its weapon.

AF-2D Pegasus D This is the most advanced entry in this series (excepting the prototype models). It is faster, more powerful, and more expensive than any other fighter craft except the Arwings and Wolfens. This comes at the cost, however, of amazingly expensive manufacturing, and only 29 were completed by the time the Great Lylat Wars broke out. It sports a pair of fire-linked Hyperlasers for its primary weapons.

Wolfens are capable of rolling to deflect enemy fire, increasing their Defense by ten – this may be done in direct response to an attack, and counts against a move action during their next active round. This effect lasts for the full round in which it was used. FTL- capable. All variants use the stats given. Armaments include twin fire-linked Hyperlasers and a Nova Bomb launcher, though Venom never actually acquired any Nova bombs for use.

Zeram Class of battlecruisers used to defend Area 6 during the Great Lylat Wars. Heavily armed (4d6 Laser Cannons, 2d4 Hyperlasers) and well armored. Other

Garuda Mechs used for demolishing buildings and vehicles. Often used in a “scorched earth” invasion. Only weapons are its arms, used to crush objects and sometimes throw them.

Rasco Similar to the Garuda, Rascos are used to throw pieces of demolished material at enemy forces, like a catapult.

h h You’ll note there are no plasma weapons for starships – plasma rapidly cools and turns into an ordinary

c c gas in space, making such weapons effective only for a few meters. As of the Great Lylat Wars, there are no

l l methods to deal with this problem effectively, so such technology is restricted to use in small arms.

s AA Missile Air-to-air missiles can be used in either air or space, and come in pods of four per attachment. They have enough fuel to travel for up to ten rounds, whereupon they stop, and float in space (or fall to the ground). If a vehicle comes into contact with a fired missile, the missile detonates upon impact. They use the normal rules for explosive weapons, and have a blast radius of 15 feet.

AG Missile Air-to-ground missiles function similarly to AA Missiles, but can only target objects or creatures on land (and thus, are only useful in atmosphere). They have enough fuel for 6 rounds, whereupon they fall to the ground and explode harmlessly (unless they fall on someone, which is unlikely). They use the normal rules for explosive weapons, and have a blast radius of 20 feet.

Antimatter Torpedo These powerful torpedoes are designed to disable or destroy large starships. They consist of a targeting system, solid fuel engine, and a packet of antimatter held in a magnetic field that deactivates on impact with anything solid, releasing the antimatter and causing the literal spontaneous combustion of the target. These are the most powerful weapons in the system, surpassed only by the rare Nova Bomb. They are carried individually by select starfighters and bombers (Pegasus Duo, Pegasus SE), and in launch tubes on destroyers.

Gatling Laser This is the only vehicle weapon that is fully automatic. It achieves this by using multiple (usually six) ionization chambers, rather than the usual one. While one chamber recharges, the next fires, enabling this cannon to fire continuously. While this does allow for effective suppressing fire, each individual shot is weaker due to the split power output. These are almost never found on spacefaring vehicles, mainly just on APCs and gunships. The occasional starship might have one on a turret, or it may be the main weapon for a Destroyer.

Hyperlaser These blue lasers are more high-powered than normal. They do not have any real drawback vs. Laser Cannons, but they are far more expensive and difficult to maintain. They are often installed on heavy starfighters (Arwing, Pegasus, Wolfen) or in turrets on capital ships.

Ion Cannon Ion Cannons are specially designed not to inflict damage, but to short out electrical systems. They fire a burst of highly charged Hydronium ions, which cause an electrical surge throughout any systems struck. Ion Cannons are affected by shield systems. When using an Ion Cannon, do not apply the damage to HP. If the damage is enough to exceed the vehicle’s Hardness, it disables the struck system for 1d4 rounds. If it doubles the vehicle’s Hardness, the system is disabled for 2d4 rounds. If the damage is more than the remaining HP, the vehicle is completely disabled, indefinitely. This prevents it from taking any further actions, and it is no longer a participant in this combat – treat it as a stationary object. To repair Ion Cannon damage, a successful Repair check must be made, with a DC equal to the amount of damage dealt. Temporary effects do not require a Repair check, and remedy themselves given time.

Laser Cannon Standard, everyday laser weaponry. The same technology utilized in Laser Pistols and Rifles, albeit on a much larger scale. These cannons are the standard weapon for all starfighters, as well as small capital ships and support vessels.

Laser Charge Unit This is an extra capacitor and ionization chamber to be added onto an existing Laser Cannon. It takes one full round to charge, and adds an extra 2d8 points of damage to the next attack (if the attack fails, this extra charge is still spent). These only work on Laser Cannons, but prototypes for Hyperlaser units are in the works.

e e FIGHTER/BOMBER

s Manufactured by Arspace Dynamics Co., Ltd. The Pegasus series was based on the Arwing, using a less expensive manufacturing process. Despite this, the use of a G-Diffuser system made the vehicle too expensive for mass-production, and only 29 were produced before the Great Lylat Wars. This model is designed for delivering a payload against a ground target, and is only an average starfighter.

The SE model has fixed wings and canards.
