DEEP SPACE NEAR KALIST

[EmperorSeverus]

Intel summary:

Constant fighting with Zsinj's Empire and the arrival of Imperial Remnant forces has forced Admiral Corren Vang and his fleet to leave the vicinity of Dathomir for Prakith in the Deep Core. Vang is a minor Imperial warlord who recently allied with the Disciples of Ragnos, and his mixed fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers and Nebulon-B Frigates represents an emerging threat to the New Republic.

Vang is now making a move for Kalist (also in the Deep Core). If he succeeds, it will be the first time the Vang Empire has held control of multiple systems at once. Vang does not possess any SSD's. His flagship is the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Unbreakable, which is confirmed to be at Prakith currently.

New Republic forces have been dispatched by Admiral Ackbar to intercept. NR intelligence has provided coordinates in deep space near Kalist, and unverified reports suggests there is a single VE-aligned Victory II-class Star Destroyer that is to rendezvous with a bulk freighter. There is no intel on the freighter itself, which suggests that the contents of the freighter are probably standard freight such as fuel or auxiliary parts.

**** This is a mini-campaign event involving LordSeverus and SWSF Eidolon only. The purpose of this campaign is to test out a new dice mechanic with classic SWSF ship specs. ****

**** For this event, LordSeverus will assume command of Vang Empire forces, and SWSF Eidolon will assume command of New Republic forces. ****

**** GM for the event is LordSeverus. ****

**** Since this event takes place in deep space, we will be using a large square grid. ****

NR forces should exit hyperspace and initiate a ComScan first, after which the grid locations of VE forces will be revealed.

The NR fleet is comprised of one CCRV and one FRG for this event.

GM note: The warbook I'm using as a reference for this event is AERules107.zip. We'll be modifying the rules to incorporate the use of dice.

--------------------------------------------------

Shields and armor

Ships have shield points equal to their length. Armor points are equal to half their length.

--------------------------------------------------

Systems

A ship's systems points are equal to 2x the length of the ship.  Only Ion Cannons and Magnetic Pulse Torpedoes (see specs) can do damage to a ship's systems. Ion Cannons do not affect shields in any way.

--------------------------------------------------

Example:

A 150 meter long ship with normal (unmodified) shields and normal (unmodified) armor would have:

Shields - 150 HP
Armor - 75 HP
Systems - 300 HP

Intercepting warheads with lasers, turbolasers, and ion cannons

Warheads may be intercepted with lasers, turbolasers, or ion cannons. Refer to the below chart for the number of cannons required to intercept a warhead.

Warhead Type:                  # of Laser Cannons:                  # of Turbolaser Cannons:

Advanced Concussion Missiles      4 Laser Cannons                      5 Turbolaser Cannons

Space Bombs                       1 Laser Cannons                      2 Turbolaser Cannons

--------------------------------------------------

Intercepting warheads with other warheads

Alternatively, may also use other warheads to intercept inbound warheads; however, only missiles and torpedoes may do so, and they won't always hit.

Aganinst Advanced Concussion Missiles:
Warhead type                  Success rate:
Concussion Missiles                      50%
Advanced Concussion Missiles             25%

Heavy Rocket                    Same Grid
Heavy Space Bomb                Same Grid

--------------------------------------------------

Systems damage

A ship looses a system every time it looses 20% of its system points.  Systems are lost in the following order:

-Shields
-Weapons
-Sublight Engines
-Hyperdrive
-Communications

--------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- Capital ships are able to fire 100% of their laser weaponry, 100% of their ion cannons, or 50% of both. 50% means half of weapons, not half of one arc. 

- Auxiliary and fighters do not follow this rule. They can either fire a laser weapon or am ion weapon, and then a warhead (unless specs state otherwise).
