Starship Valkyrie

Version 2.04October 4th, 2013

by Christian Brown

All Rights Reserved

IntroductionThis version of the rules for Starship Valkyrie is much closer to complete. It includes character creation instructions, combat rules, Abilities and instructions for Consoles, as well as additional character types, drug cards, wound and recovery cards, science experiment tiles, and 'enemy decks' for combat. There is a smattering of world background, however, and it is still missing the many supplemental materials (damage deck, initiative deck, radiation markers, falling debris, malfunction deck, etc) that are needed to play a full game of Starship Valkyrie. Overall, this release is a moderately good tool for learning to play Starship Valkyrie, and an inadequate one for figuring out how to run one.

This is probably the last major (review everything, edit everything, add lots of new stuff) release of Starship Valkyrie. From her out new releases of the rules will be smaller and will focus on a single area of gameplay.

Personal thanks to Robert Prag, Lisa Schaefer, Rob McDiarmid, and Alejandro Komai for their enthusiastic support over the last three years. Thanks also to the players like Laura Bishop, Blake Mayer and Jason Hutchins for breathing new life into game. If you've played, even once, thank you, too.

Finally, I'd like to dedicate this version of the rules to my wife Roselle, who creates the consoles and does so much more.

General Rules

When there are multiple advantages, apply the least effective bonus or advantage FIRST, and the most effective bonus or advantage LAST.

Character Abilities

If, in the course of play, something happens to cancel or block one or more of your Abilities, that does not affect your pre-requisites. Ex; you lose all your Abilities except for Starfighter Maneuvers. Starfighter Maneuvers has a pre-req of Shuttle Pilot, which you no longer have. That doesn't matter - Starfighter maneuvers will work normally.

Some Abilities may be renewed. This means that the Ability acts as though it had not previously been used.

An Ability that is Exhausted acts as though it has been used normally, whether it has been used or not. For example, a mind attack that "exhausts" all the Tactical or Psi Abilities of the target.

Coin Flips

When a coin flip is called for, HEADS is always good for the individual depending on the outcome; TAILS is always bad.

To be a legal flip, the coin must turn end over end in the air and land on a flat surface. If it hits the floor, it must be reflipped.

Refereeing

DAISS Control

The Referee at DAISS Control should not allow enemy ships to focus fire and combine their damage unless specifically requested to do so by the GM. Ideally, when a single timer is used for multiple ships, the enemy should give a 'rolling fire' that impacts the player ship once every few seconds, allowing the players to react and resolve damage between attacks. Obviously, this requires the referee to use his or her own discretion. The important thing for the referee to understand that they are not obligated by the rules of the game to allocate all damage immediately, without interruption.

Timing

Away Missions take time to resolve. Especially when they involve an investigation, serious decision-making or adjudication of combat. Although it is permissible to 'freeze time' in one part of the game in order to allow another part of the game to catch up, this is not ideal. Another solution is to skip over things that would take time to do but which involve no player action. For example, if the players are flying to the away mission location unopposed, and it will take them 5 minutes to get there, start the away mission immediately but don't allow them to report to their command center for 5 minutes. If an effort is made to telescope elapsed time down where practical, it will help to make up for the fact that other things seem to take longer than they should.

Character CreationStarship Valkyrie

New characters are built with 10 character points. Players generally receive a character point for each game they participate in. These points may then be used to improve their characters. Each skill point costs one Character Point, which grants one Ability.

To be complete, a character needs to have the following:1. Type2. Rank3. Allocate remaining points to Skills4. Select Abilities

New characters may not choose a rank above Ensign. The Captain of your ship may have additional character creation guidelines.Point Caps are listed on the Card for the Type.

Character BackgroundBackground information of Valkyrie

characters is intentionally sparse. Nevertheless, if you want to help determine your character's background, answer the following questions and send them to the GM:

Where does your character originate from? Earth. Tau Ceti. Cetians only. Sirius Protectorate. An orbital station of 10,000 people.Mars Protectorate. A city network of one million.Kapteyn's Star. A long-established military starbase of a few thousand.Epsilon Eridani. A planetary colony of several million.Stein 2051. A MaxiCorp mining colony.Omicron Base. A planetary base with a biodome and a few hundred inhabitants.

How does your character feel about the Earth Republic? Most are patriotic supporters of the institution that eliminated war and hunger in the 22nd Century. If you aren't a patriotic supporter, why not?

How does your character feel about the World Church? The World Church is

more of a civic organization than a spiritual one. Most appreciate the World Church as an institution actively promoting tolerance of all faiths, even if they aren't religious themselves.

Name a single defining incident of your life, if you want to. No details are needed at this time. The death of a parent or sibling, for example, joining the Star Navy, or leaving home.

Name an interesting idea that you are working out, if you want to. You are not stating a commitment to this idea. In fact, you may be challenging it. Loyalty versus Principles, for example, the meaning of Honor, or Betrayal and Forgiveness, for example.

Name a simple, ongoing goal for your character, if you want to. Make friends, do your best, save the Earth, become spiritual, explore the unknown or command a ship of your own are examples.

TraitsA Trait is a fact about your character

which could be good or bad. It might be a personality trait, like loyalty, or an addition to combat drugs. Traits that are entirely negative raise cost nothing and raise the point cap on your character by one. So, a 25 point character could accept an 'old wound' negative trait for no cost, and raise his or her point cap to 26.

The Trait Skill Category should always accurately reflect the point total so that the CP expenditures add up correctly. This means that a character could have a zero in the Skill, even though her or she has multiple traits.

Not all Traits are negative. Positive Traits cost 1 CP, just like Abilities.

Character NameThe Earth still has problems, but

sexism and racism are things of the past century. People are encouraged to intermarry, or to foster and keep their own culture, as they prefer. A common naming formulation for Valkyrie characters is a

unisex first name, followed by a culturally significant or international last name. Examples;Holland KwanIndigo ZoricJesse Barwegen Jordan Kaluža Another acceptable form is to have an intercultural name, such as: Carmen Liu Artyom MaJames Kurosawa Dumaka NejemHasanati Lennox

Character Backgrounds are written in the second person voice ("You were born...") as a story about the character's life so far, usually bringing them up to the point that they joined the Star Navy. Backgrounds should be about 100 to 110 words. Here are some sample character Backgrounds:

Sample Personal Background 1You were raised on Earth as a

patriotic citizen of the Earth Republic, and a believer in the good work of the World Church.

As a child you read Cetian literature which is dream-like and inspired. To Earth-people, Cetians seem very religious or spiritual. You aren't sure how to explain them, but you appreciate their culture.

You have been practicing Psychronalogistic techniques for several years. You joined the Star Navy when the war with the Praezorians broke out last year. You just want to do what you can to ease the suffering of the men and women of the Earth Republic Star Navy. Sample Personal Background 2

You were raised on Earth as a patriotic citizen of the Earth Republic. You are the first of your family to enter the Earth Republic Star Navy and you have worked hard to make a name for yourself in the service. You've worked your way up through the various grades of tactical officer to get where you are now. It is unlikely that you'll ever command a Destroyer like Valkyrie, however. Star Navy Destroyers are only

given to Captains who have influence back on Earth.

You have served in the Earth Republic Star Navy for 15 years, and were promoted to Commander a year ago. You've just been transferred to Valkyrie.

Sample Personal Background 3You were raised on Earth as a

patriotic citizen of the Earth Republic and your family has a strong tradition of military service. Your father made Lieutenant on the ERS Hydra before retiring. You joined the Star Navy six years ago, and recently requested to transfer to the Valkyrie, to serve with your brother Rorie.

Defending the Earth Republic in the Star Navy is the greatest honor there is. You strive to be worthy of that honor every day.

Your brother Rorie was killed in action a few months ago, but you let the transfer go through. You're proud to serve on the same ship he did.

Character Creation InstructionsCreate a new character or respec an

existing character using these rules. 1 Ability costs 1 Character Point as always, and new characters start with 10 CP.

If you are respecing an existing character, do not change the background or the character's basic type. For example, do not change them from a human to a Cetian.

If you want to create a character that isn't human, Cetian, half-Cetian robot or Cyborg, you need both Captain and GM approval. (Technically, all characters require Captain approval.)

Next step: Build your character, print it, and cut out the cards. Your cards should print out to 3.5 inches high by 2.5 inches wide. Make sure the entire text of the Ability appears on each card. Bring your printed character to the game.

If you want a copy of your current character built with the old rules, just email me. I'll send it to you as an attachment.

If you need to know the number of banked CP you have, let me know.

If you need help developing your character, there are several players on your

ship who have studied the rules carefully and can assist you.

Character Creation Clarifications1. This will be a messy process. No one will be penalized for making mess. A second respec will be allowed for characters that get built wrong because the rules weren't clear. You will not need to qualify for the second respec - if you want it, you can have it.2. The basic - advanced - expert ability notation will be awesome, but is currently broken. The appearance of the word basic, advanced or expert on your ability card currently means nothing in and of itself.3. Pay attention to pre-reqs at the bottom of the character card. This matters, and will be enforced. Some abilities have a pre-req, meaning you must take certain abilities before you can get others. 3.1 If a pre-req is fairly obvious, but seems to be missing, please observe it. (Ex; Telepathy requires you to be Cetian or some other telepathic race.) If pre-reqs are not obvious (I'm a Cyborg, how many robot

abilities do I get?) then there are no limits for now. 4. The only limits on what Abilities you can take are the explicit ones. That is, point caps on each skill group. If you want to take 8 personality abilities, knock yourself out. 5. These are the skill categories now.Tactical: 0Piloting: pilot skills are now their own category. Combat: 0Engineering: 0Machinery: 0Science: 0Psi: telepathy, etc. no longer makes you great at Science. Medical: 0Personality: being unstable no longer makes you great at Science. 6. Remember to print out your own character and bring it to the game. We have not done it this way before, so please check with everyone else and make sure they understand what to do.

Humanoid - Health Loss

If reduced to 0 Health you are immediately helpless, and will die in 3 minutes if you do not receive medical attention.

You may not use any Abilities while at 0 Health. They are limited to moving their head and speaking in a low voice. It is always permissible to inform a medical character what your current health total is.

After your 'death timer' runs down to zero your character is clinically dead. Do not announce this

Cyborg - Health Loss

If reduced to 0 Health you are immediately helpless, and will die in 3 minutes if you do not receive medical attention.

You may not use any Abilities while at 0 Health. They are limited to moving their head and speaking in a low voice. It is always permissible to inform a medical character what your current health total is.

After your 'death timer' runs down to zero your character is clinically dead. Do not announce this

Robot - Health Loss

If reduced to 0 Health you are rendered inert. You cannot communicate or use any Abilities. You are not aware of your surroundings. Inform a GM of where your deactivated robot-body is.

You may be repaired as long as your body is recoverable.

Robot repairs are performed by an engineer in the Machine Shop of a technical facility.

Combat System

Starting CombatIf you declare an attack on someone you are then engaged in combat with them. Anyone who has not declared their intention to join the combat at that time must sit out the first round of combat. Anyone standing by to join combat joins it at the conclusion of the current round.

Initiative OrderThere are three phases of combat: Very Fast, Fast and Slow. The Very Fast phase is resolved before moving on to Fast. The Slow Round is resolved last. All damage is dealt and the dead cleared before moving on to the next Slow round. You act at Very Fast Initiative if you have a 11+ Combat score.You act at Fast Initiative if you have a 5 to 10 Combat.You act at Slow Initiative if you have a 0 to 4 combat. You can still plug somebody with a laser rifle, but not if they draw first. Simultaneous Combat Cards: All characters who fight in the same Initiative Round act simultaneously, which means that all declared actions occur, regardless of what they are or what order they are announced. If combatant A deals three damage and combatant B disarms combatant A, both things occur. The disarm does not prevent A from making his or her attack. Combatants should reveal their actions simultaneously, or else make a binding selection before everyone reveals in order.If a character elects to leave combat, then they do so on their initiative round. If they are targeted by a combat card, then that takes effect in addition to their departure from combat.

Continuing CombatExactly the same as Initiating Combat. Players who use the same Ability on successive rounds of combat take a -1 to their Combat each round.

Combat AbilitiesEach Advanced and Expert Combat Ability may be used once per Combat. Basic Combat Abilities may be used every round.The Attacker is the character that is playing a combat Ability against you, or otherwise doing damage to you. The Defender is the character that you are playing a Combat Ability against or are otherwise damaging. Unless otherwise specified Attacker or Defender is singular - choose one if there are multiple Attackers and Defenders.

Doing DamageLaser Pistol: 1 damage. Laser Rifle: 2 damage.Stun Grenade: 1 Damage. Stuns everyone in the combat except the attacker for three minutes (1 Combat Round). Explosive Grenade: Base Damage 2. Affects everyone in the combat except the attacker.

StackingWeapons and Combat Abilities both do damage in Combat. Some Abilities add their damage to that done by weapons, some do not. The combat card will indicate whether it stacks with weapons or not. If an ability doesn't stack, then the combatant may choose to deal the damage from the combat card or the weapon, but not both.

GearCombat Armor: Stops 1 damage per attacker, per round of combat. Prevents stun and subdual.

Note a Robot is also an Armored target, for purposes of targeting them with Abilities, although being a robot does not automatically stop damage as combat armor does.EV Suit: Flip a coin twice every time damage is dealt, once for armor and once for integrity. If the armor flip comes up HEADS, then the suit stops 1 damage; TAILS means it doesn't. If the integrity flip comes up HEADS, the integrity of the suit is not compromised; TAILS means that it is.

Injury and DeathCharacters who are reduced to 0 or less Health are immediately incapacitated, but death

timers do not start until combat ends.Anyone reduced to 0 Health is immediately helpless, and will die in 3 minutes if they do

not receive medical attention. Medical attention may restore health, or it may extend or restart the three minute timer. They may not use any Abilities. They are limited to moving their head and calling for help. It is always permissible to inform a medical character what your current health total is.

If a character is reduced to negative health equal to their starting Health, they are killed instantly. (The regenifacient timer would start from this point.) A robot reduced to negative four Health is irreparable.

Dead characters are immediately out of the game. Medical Science may or may not be able to bring them back, but the player of that character may not make requests or comments of any kind. (It is considered bad form to comment on the manner of your death before the end of the game.)

Death should always be reported to a GM in case that character's death has an impact on the overall plot. In addition, the GM may authorize the player to return to the game with a new character, or ask them to portray a specific NPC for the remainder of the game.

Characters who are reduced to 0 or less Health are immediately incapacitated, but death timers do not start until combat ends.

Types, Orgs, Abilities and TraitsA character is made up entirely of cards. Even the background is intended to be

summarized briefly enough to fit on a small card. Different types of cards help to define the character when lengthy blocks of prose are absent. (You can have a long character background, but it should probably be left out of your character booklet if you do.)

To clarify, your type is what you are at the most fundamental level: human or robot? Cetian or Praezorian? It is possible to have more than one type, though not all types are compatible. For example, a human can become a cyborg (part machine), but a robot cannot.

If you are playing in a straightforward game of Starship Valkyrie as crew aboard a star destroyer or Valkyrie-class ship, the Earth Republic Star Navy Organization is the only one you need to worry about. Starship Valkyrie is built from the perspective of Star Navy Personnel, and exceptions to that norm cost Character Points. So if you are a star navy lifer, don't worry about organizations.

If, on the other hand, you want to play a MaxiCorp game, run a science vessel operated by the Science Directorate, or be on a Cetian ship, then it will help to have some of these organizations named even if they aren't fully fleshed out.

Traits are either positive or negative. Positive traits cost a character point and raise the trait skill by 1, just like any other ability and skill category. Negative traits, however, cost 0 CP and raise the point cap on your character. They do not add to the trait total, or to the CP total of the character. They only raise the point cap.

PrivilegesIt should not be commonplace for a Star Navy personnel to have special privileges. In

fact, most of them would be inaccessible during a mission, and generally frowned upon by one's Star Navy superiors. These Abilities' primary use is for non-military personnel. The crew of a civilian cargo ship, for example, or an important passenger being transported by a military vessel.

Respecs

Every time a new rules revision comes out you are entitled to a respec of your character. This means that you may take the character point of the total and re-spend your points however you like. You cannot change your Type, however. If you are a cyborg, you are always a cyborg. You cannot suddenly discover that you are half-Cetian. Your type may be modified in play (somehow), but not during a respec.

A respec cannot be 'lost'. If you miss an opportunity to respec your character before another ruleset comes out, you store that respec until you want it at a future time.

objects or perform minor tasks (cleaning up,

organizing, etc).A coinflip is required if the attendant is asked to do

anything particularly strenuous or dangerous.If HEADS, the action is

completed with no problem. If TAILS, the Attendant fails, is injured, or killed outright in

Clean RecordBasic Privilege Trait

The holder of this card has a defense against any attempt

to frame, discredit or incriminate them via Ability or

any other means.

A coinflip determines success. If a referee flips HEADS, Clean

Record is effective and the allegations fall apart and

appear ridiculous.If TAILS, Clean Record is

ineffective and cannot help with this issue.

Clean Record may be invoked as often as desired.

Code of SilenceBasic Privilege Trait

The player is part of a group that does not do anything to

defame or disadvantage each other. Even associates who

are not explicitly part of this group do not cross it.

Non-player characters will not testify against or give

incriminating information about any character who

possesses this card.This Ability always works. A

coinflip is required if an outside party is attempting to

use an Ability to gain information. If HEADS, that

The GangBasic Privilege Trait

The player has people who look out for him or her, when

they can.If the player is reduced to

zero health, a member of the Gang may appear to bring

them to medical assistance.If the player is attempting a difficult or time consuming

(repair, construction, etc) job, a member of the Gang may

show up to complete that job for them.

A coinflip determines success. The Gang only shows up once

per game, maximum.Scuttlebutt

Basic Privilege Trait

May be used between games to either generate a rumor about a specific player or

non-player character, or to determine the truth about a

specific player.A coinflip determines success.

If a referee flips HEADS, Scuttlebutt determines whether the rumor is

essentially true or false.If TAILS, Scuttlebutt

determines that the rumor is true.

Generating a rumor is always successful.

SupplierBasic Privilege Trait

The character has a supplier of goods and services that he

or she can contact periodically.

A coinflip determines success. If a referee flips HEADS, the Supplier is able to deliver

something approximating the request.

If TAILS, the Supplier comes up empty and can supply

nothing.A reflip is allowed for each gift delivered in exchange.

Only one success per game is allowed.

Professional Network

Basic Privilege Trait

This Ability may be used between games to gain

information about another person, or send a message to

a difficult to reach person.The information travels

through the network, person by person, until it reaches the

appropriate contact. A coinflip determines

success. If a referee flips HEADS, the Network is

effective and the information or message is transmitted as

required.

Special DesignationAdvanced Privilege Trait

Whatever the character's type, organization, or

assignment, this character is an exceptional or unique

case.(It is up to the player to

define how the character is special. Examples: The first Cetian to speak to a human face to face. The only Robot

to be transferred from military to civilian use. The

first Human to marry a Tardek.)

The character will be famous in certain circles. Whether

Religious ExemptionBasic Privilege Trait

The bearer belongs to a religious group that does not

permit a specific type of activity. Examples of

prohibited activity are:Voluntary Combat.

Unnecessary Drugs.Vows and Pledges.

The player must designate one of the above or create another with approval from

the GM.

Personal EquipmentBasic Privilege Trait

The bearer starts each game with a laser pistol, a set of engineering repair tools and/or a hand scanner.

There is no coinflip for this Ability, but the character must have the Weapons

Training, Repair Protocol, and Hand Scanner Abilities,

respectively.The character does not have equipment that he or she is

not qualified for.

Personal WealthAdvanced Privilege Trait

May be used between games to attempt to make a single

major purchase. (Ex; a hyperspace shuttle, a

residence or business on any colonized world, a rare

artifact.)A coinflip determines success. If a referee flips HEADS, your Wealth is sufficient to make

the purchase.If TAILS, an appropriate item cannot be found for sale, you

cannot afford it along with your other commitments, or there is some unacceptable

Powerful PatronAdvanced Privilege Trait

May be used between games to prevent consequences of

minor infractions and political missteps. Major crimes or deliberate insults against

powerful people cannot be countered this way.

A coinflip determines success. If a referee flips HEADS, the Patron is able to hire expert representation, issue press releases and/or suppress

information.If TAILS, the patron is

ineffective or uninterested and cannot help with this

Gambits

Gambits represent the confidence, quick-thinking and resourcefulness of the individual. Gambits are collected at the beginning of the game and spent as circumstances dictate. There are nine pre-defined gambit Abilities, but they can also be used to purchase special opportunities or information from referees.

Each player receives a number of gambits equal to their tactical skill at the beginning of the game. Gambits are not replenished except through specific Abilities. Referees may also, at their discretion, award a gambit for excellent role-playing or clever action.

Hotzone Rules 2.04

Starfighters Turn: Starfighters rotate twice, move twice, and fire twice. Any order. (222 rule)Starfighters may fire into the hex in front of them before or after each move doing one point of damage.One Special Ability may be used per pilot, per turn.Pilots talk to each other (com chatter) during the enemy turn.

Praezorians’ Turn: Drone ships move two hexes and then do .5 points of damage to one adjacent hex.Droneships take 2 hits in 1 turn to destroy.

Other ships have different attributes.

Managing TurnsEach side must be given equal time to complete their move. Ideally, this is one minute. But the Hotzone Referee may change the allotted time at his or her discretion.

"Running" FirefightOn occasion, one side or another will want to move the combat (chase or lead the opposition) in a certain direction on the DAISS. Each side may flip a coin. If one side comes up HEADS and the other side comes up TAILS, then the HEADS result may move the Hotzone combat marker one LS in any direction. Otherwise, the Hotzone combat remains where it started, regardless of the desires of the pilots in the fight.

Missiles in HotzoneA missile strikes and does its full damage to that target and half damage, rounded down to every ship in a one-hex radius around the target.If there is no Hotzone combat, then ships are assumed to be flying in loose formation and only the targeted ship is damaged by the missile. (full damage.)

Starfighter vs large targetValkyrie is 5 spaces long and three spaces wide. A Praezorian Warship is 3 spaces long and two wide. To attack a large target, a starfighter must move adjacent to it as normal, but a starfighter cannot end its turn facing the target. (In the case of enemies attacking a Star Destroyer, each enemy starfighter does 1 damage every three minutes / Hotzone Turn.) Hotzone GM has a value for the Armor and Shields of the target ship. Armor stops damage from each attack. Shields stop damage but get lowered each time they get hit. A ship with no armor and no shields takes full damage from starfighter cannons. Starfighters on DAISSAny pilot that leaves Hotzone combat immediately appears on the DAISS on top of the starfighter combat marker. Starfighters move 1 LS per minute.

Consoles

General Rules

Once a reactor boost has been distributed, it cannot be taken back or given to a different system.

Lowering the Reactor reserve level to zero does not disable the Reactor. Allowing the Reactor to reach full reserve power is not dangerous in and of itself.

Systems receive damage from the damage deck, when the ship as a whole is attacked. If three damage is dealt to the ship, then three damage cards are drawn. If the stellar drive, laser turret one and the intermix reactor are drawn, then each of those systems would go from Nominal status to Control Failure. If the Stellar Drive were drawn again subsequently, then its status would go from Control Failure to System Failure.

When a console is in System Failure and takes damage, remove 1 repair card and turn it in to Central Operations. When all repair cards are gone, the system can go from System Failure to Destroyed status. Consoles do not go from System Failure to Destroyed unless all repair cards are gone.

A Destroyed system cannot be repaired, nor can it give or receive boosts.

Damage at the ship/installation level is equivalent. If a starfighter does 1 damage, that is equivalent to a starship doing one damage. Ships have different ways of receiving damage, but all ships deal damage in the same way. 1 damage is 1 damage, no matter who is doing it. When a starship receives 1 damage, one damage card is drawn from that ship's damage deck to see the result. When a starfighter takes 1 damage, the craft goes down by one level on their starfighter board.

Damage at the personal combat/internal explosion/industrial accident level is equivalent. If a radiation leak causes a character to lose two health that is equivalent to a weapon blast that does 2 damage. Certain Abilities stop bad effects, which would avoid all damage, while other Abilities avoid only a portion of the damage.

Ship/installations and personal armament are not on the same scale. For reference, ship weapons would deal ten times their value in health loss if they were trained on a individual. (A single round of 1 damage starfighter ammo fired at a person would cause 10 points of damage. A 2 terajoule ship laser would cause 20 health loss, or complete obliteration.) The circumstances under which a starship or even a starfighter could plausibly attack an individual with ship weapons are of course, extremely rare. Ship weapons are generally not calibrated to lock onto a small biological signature, in any event.

A hull breach is a threat to the survival of the ship. When it is patched it staves off that immediate threat, but it not a perfect fix. A shipyard requires 1 day to repair one hull breach (even one that has been temporarily patched by engineers in the field.) A destroyed system takes 12 hours at a shipyard to rebuild, even if engineers have jury rigged it to work temporarily, or somehow brought it back from destroyed status.

When a Boost is used, it is consumed/expended, and must be turned in to Central Operations immediately.

It cannot be raised by any console function, Device or Ability.

Warp Shield Generator

To use this System you must be rated for Tactical Consoles.

The individual at this console may use a stored Reactor Boost to raise the Warp Shield Power Level by one. After raising the Power Level set the Recharge Timer to 5 Minutes.

The Warp Shield will stop ONE TERAJOULE of energy damage per Power Level. The Power Level then drops by one after a hit of any intensity.

Deflector Shield Generator

To use this System you must be rated for Tactical Consoles.

The individual at this console may use a stored Reactor Boost to raise the Deflector Shield Power Level by one. After raising the Power Level set the Recharge Timer to 5 Minutes.

The Deflector Shield will stop TWO TERAJOULES of projectile damage per Power Level. The Power Level then drops by one after a hit of any intensity.

Boosts and AbilitiesThe Shield Generator does not generate Boosts, but it can store and use Efficiency Boosts.

Reactor Boost (Store 2 Max)Store Reactor Boost here.The operator of this system may use a Reactor Boost to raise the Power Level of either Warp or Deflector Shields by one.

Return the Reactor Boost to Central Operations when used.

Efficiency Boost (Store 1 Max)

The operator of this system may use an Efficiency Boost to reduce recharge time by Half for a single Shield recharge cycle. Apply this modifier first, before applying other card or Ability effects. Only one efficiency boost can be used on the Shield Generator Console at a time. (Two efficiency boosts do not quarter the recharge time for the Shields.)Turn the Efficiency Boost in to Central Operations when used.

Abate ShieldsReducing shield power is not a standard

maneuver on Star Navy vessels. However, it is possible that some operations will require it.

Abating Shields is a rank restricted ability on any military ship. It requires 2 Ensigns working together, or 1 lieutenant to have security clearance for this operation.

The console operator may reduce either or both shield levels by any amount. After doing so set the recharge timer for the console to 3:00 minutes, and inform DIASS Control.
