1/18

Vehicle RulesVehicles have the same stats as Characters or Ships. Vehicles occupy thespace in-between the two when it comes to combat.

Brawn = Offensive power of a vehicle. 0 Brawn means no integral weapons.

Finesse = Typical crew quality of a vehicle. If a character is driving the

vehicle, they substitute their Gunnery or Driving scores.

Resolve = Inherent durability of a vehicle. A vehicle takes and deals with

Dramatic Wounds just like a person. 3x Resolve in Dramatic Wounds means

the vehicle is obliterated and no salvage may come from it.

Wits = Agility of a vehicle, how hard the vehicle is to target. A Wits of 0*

means that the vehicle has no Passive Defense.

Panache = Speed of a vehicle. A Panache of 0* means the vehicle has no

means of self propulsion.

Dramatic Wounds: Vehicles may sustain a number of Dramatic Wounds

equal to there Resolve before becoming crippled. When a vehicle becomescrippled, none of its dice may explode. When a vehicle receives 2x its

Resolve in Dramatic Wounds it is totally disabled, no systems will work. 3x

the Resolve in Dramatic Wounds obliterates the vehicle.

Starship vs. Vehicle: When a vehicle is facing a starship (not starfighter) its

Brawn is considered halved (round down, minimum of 1). When a starship

attacks a vehicle, its brawn is considered doubled).

Vehicle Advantages:

Smart Weapon System: Allows a Drama Die to be spent to re-roll a miss.

Armor Piercing Weapon: Every 10 (not 20) a Wound Check is missed by

results in an additional Dramatic Wound

may remain concealed until the weapons are fired.

if they were Brute Squads.

Attacks and Initiative

ground speed.

Old: The vehicle is ancient and held together with bailing wire. The vehicle

vehicles Panache dice may explode.

Undergunned: The vehicle has a flawed weapon system. Non of the vehicles

Brawn dice may explode.

having 10 times its cargo value in reloads for any weapon system. (This

does not include Machine Guns, this does include Energy Weapons that rely

easily detectable, even when compared to other vehicles its size. Add +1 to
