MARS: Shield Modulation, Torpedo Spook 

Author: Pok 

Arachne class gunships, named after the master weaver of mythology, are a variation of the 

Zenith carrier hull, built by one of the Hawker subsidiaries after it became clear the old 

carriers are simply too vunerable in the face of the Dindrenzi blitz. The extensive flight bays 

were replaced in this design with torpedo magazines numerous enough to rival battleships of 

other races, while the C&C capability previously used by the flight command were 

repurposed towards electronic warfare, which coupled with the E/W warheads whose first 

batches were field-tested by the Titan dreadnoughts, granted them unprecedented 

accuracy. 

Conventional weapons of the vessel are based on the Hawker corporation designs, favoring 

turrets to broadsides, and supplementing them with modest fixed fore mass drivers. 

Unfortunately the sudden increase in mass stored onboard as the largely hollow interior was 

filled with torpedoes, proved impossible to offset and ships of this class are best 

characterized as sluggish and unresponsive to steering. 

This lack of speed, coupled with predominance for torpedoes rather than guns, earned 

those repurposed vessels a nickname of "space katyusha". The name was unofficially 

adapted through the fleet and some ordinance officers are known to program the E/W 

warheads to transmit the hymn of the long-dead Soviet Union to enemy vessels, a fact that 

seems to infuriate especially the Dindrenzi officers for some reason.

Although the ships of Arachne class are based on outdated hull designs and slower than 

typical combat vessel, no one that ever saw the torrent of blazing death that a full squadron 

of the gunships can produce doubts their effectiveness and the long-range firepower they 

add to the fleet proved invaluable in defense of the Terran strongholds of the Fathoms 

Reach.

Author: Alexmann 

The Thorn Class was the predecessor of the Razorthorn, a traditional design with standard 

broadside arcs, without the innovation of any-arc turrets to increase versatility. One of the 

first standard battleships to carry an energy shield as standard, the Thorn is still pressed into 

service in desperate situations or technological backwater worlds.

The Guardsman was one of the best ships in its class for its time. The hull design was basically 

almost unchanged for the current Sentinel class, showing how good it was at the time of its 

introduction. The Sentinel upgraded the weapons fit, increased the PD & torpedo coverage, 

introduced shield generators and an increased compliment of marines, but the basic design 

was sound. Although sometimes still pressed into service today, the Guardsman is starting to 

show its age, it's limited firing arcs, vulnerability to torpedoes and lack of a defense 

generator making its use one of necessity rather than choice. It is also seen in planetary 

defense forces, where it is known as the Gatekeeper - in this case the FSD is stripped out and 

replaced with a modern shield generator, making it ideal for planetary security operations 

and repelling pirate incursions.

Author: Pok 

With the establishment of the Terran Satellite Network, Terran Navy has commissioned a line 

of modified cruisers to service the satellites. Armed more lightly than proper combat ships, 

these ships were crucial to maintaining the supply and communication lines within the Terran 

Space. With the onslaught of the Dindrenzi, ships serving in the Storm Zone were quickly 

refitted to serve as combat tenders, replenishing munitions and aiding in repairs, as well as 

delivering the new “Spookums” warheads directly to frontline units which might otherwise 

wait to be restocked with the newest weapons. Due to their construction, each ship is 

capable of towing up to three satellites, invaluable to bolstering system defenses in the 

Storm Zone.

Author: 011121 

The Aquan Nautilus is designed to be a very fast light battleship with tremendous mine laying 

capability. It's designed to travel with a light compliment of frigates and cruisers laying vast 

mine fields to limit enemy movements. During an allied offensive the Nautilus moves behind 

enemy lines to cut off retreat. During enemy offensives it withdraws before the enemy 

leaving one field of mines after another. To maintain the high speed the Nautilus sacrifices 

some firepower and armor as well as the fighter wings and marine compliment of a 

Poseidon. It's largest drawback is also it's greatest weapon- the ordinance it uses to mine 

space. The experimental devices provide a bigger bang than the typical Aquan mines but 

they're also prone to detonate if the ship takes internal damage.

Following traditional Aquan design philosophy, and to combat the increasing escalation of 

conflict in the Storm Zone, the Aquans have built the Whaleshark Dreadnought. This mighty 

ship draws heavily on upscaled design systems from the Poseidon and Manta classes, whilst 

also incorporating technology applied in the Medusa. Commanders familiar with the 

traditional Aquan tactics of close range fighting welcome the focus of the Whaleshark, 

which is designed to get into the heart of an enemy fleet and deal out devastation. As such 

(and due to experiences combatting the Dindrenzi Federation), the desicion was made to 

forego any flights on the ship, and instead strengthen her construction to resist damage - 

keeping the massive ship in the fight for longer. Concentration on heavier, short-range 

weapons batteries and cutting-edge energy transfer systems make the Whaleshark a 

purpose-built ship destroyer, fulfilling a different niche in Aquan fleets to the all-round 

Medusa.

Shorthanded on their ability to patrol the vast space between themselves and the 

Directorate, Aquan engineers turned to better ways of controlling the border. The Demolition 

cruiser was the answer to this. Able to deploy massive quantities of mines in a short stretch of 

time, and allow them to exert limited control over the drift of the fields to keep them in 

proper place. Raiders have begun to founder near these fields, as their ships take 

progressively more damage before they are forced to turn back. Unfortunately, to make 

room for the vast mine bay, the torpedo launch systems had to be removed, making this 

cruiser somewhat under gunned for its class.

Author: veritechc 

Due to unacceptable loses the Aquan Sebrutan had dictated a change in tactics and 

command and control in their frigate core. Through the use of better communications 

equipment and diligent training the much maligned Piranha Class Frigate has come out 

even better than before. 

Although there has been no real change in any of the defensive or offensive systems this 

class of frigate has been designated with a MKII status. Through their "schooling" formation 

they are able up their coordinated squadron size to six frigates. 

This yet untried designation is nevertheless being rushed to the front lines in the hope of 

stemming the Zenian League push for the Aquan home stars.

It has not gone unnoticed in the Aquan high command that the use of small craft in all 

engagements has been increasing as the conflict in the Storm Zone continues. To combat 

this the Delphis engineers have turned to their maligned frigate hulls for an answer. 

The Pterois (Lionfish) Frigate is a stop gap measure trading the characteristic aft weaponry 

for three times the point defense guns. Also included is an upgraded targeting and control 

node and communication package. 

The planned use of the Pterois Frigates is as an anti-aircraft frigate to clear space of 

interceptors for the Aquan bombers now in use on many carriers. It is hoped that a squadron 

of the Lionfish can take the place of interceptors allowing for a bomber only follow-on force 

to shred the enemy.

The Aquans have long established the use of wings to maintain space superiority, and their 

researchers have labored to maintain this advantage. The Typhoon is an attempt to create 

what is essentially a flying factory, producing swarms of drone controlled craft to fill 

space. Possessed of impressive speed, and protected by efficient shield systems, the 

typhoon is an able support cruiser, able to rearm fighters quickly, and affect repairs to 

damaged craft. First deployed in test runs against the Directorate, the Typhoon achieved 

resounding success, crippling the advancing Directorate cruiser forces with bombing runs, 

and acting as a rearming platform for local support craft, as well as for those remaining from 

a destroyed carrier. Several stages of further testing must be performed before the Sebrutan 

offers their final approval on the craft, but the future of the design looks to be bright.

The Charybdis class cruiser is the culmination of the Aquan development of mine 

control. Possessing vast stores of munitions on board the ship, they bring incredible 

destructive capability. Traditional weapons cover three arcs, allowing them to engage foes 

on all sides, but the fore mount carries a launch system allowing the delivery of mines from 

far longer distances than normally capable. Early field testing of the Charybdis has shown it 

to be devastatingly effective against frigate classes, able to annihilate entire squadrons in a 

single sweep. Working in tandem, a full squadron has been able to lay low even opposing 

cruiser groups, leaving enemy ships with crippling damage, if not outright destrustion. Any 

that survive the volley from the fore often run afoul the vast sweep of mines that show in the 

wake of these ships. Time is proving that the Charybdis may well be the next ship destined 

for mass production in the Sebrutan.

Designed as a refit to make use of the aging Storm class cruiser hulls these ships were fitted 

with a shield system and mounted with forward facing mine launchers. Enhancements to the 

power system allowed for a slight increase in overall firepower. 

Nicknamed "Inkers" by Dindrenzi captains for the clouds of black mines they lay down before 

them they quickly earned the respect of enemy forces for their ability to create dangerous 

minefields and funnel enemy ships into awaiting Aquan traps.

With the war in the Storm Zone raging, even the slow to act Sorylian Collective recognizes 

the need to upgrade their fleet. In a joint venture between themselves and the Terrans the 

Collective has created a ship that fills in a void in their battle plan. The Yumi, named after the 

Japanese word for bow by the Terran engineers working on the project, discards the 

advanced guns and energy weapons of the Scythe Frigate for a suite of advanced long 

range torpedoes. This ship, in simulations, has been used as a standoff weapon in large 

formations coordinating attacks on larger capital ships to devastating effect. It is believed by 

both the Alliance and the Collective that the Yumi will provide fire support early in 

engagements were the Sorylians are currently lacking. Soon this ship will be entering service 

in the Collective's navy and it is hoped to blunt the Dindrenzi's early thrusts into the region.

The Lucern assault cruiser is an older model of warship, one that was very nearly

Skyhammer, the Lucern has been pressed back into service to fill gaps in the Collective war 

fleets. Structurally similar to the Skyhammer, the Lucern sacrifices a great deal of firepower to 

expand the internal carrying capacity to house more Sorylian marines for fast boarding 

actions. The bays for drop ships have also been expanded, and enhanced lunch tubes have 

been mounted, allowing troops to attempt boarding from much greater distances. Despite 

a venerable age, and being somewhat lightly armed for its weight, the Lucern has been a 

welcome addition in Collective forces, often driving hard into the heart of enemy fleets to 

launch daring raids at enemy flagships, often crippling the vessels in a single blistering wave

This is a recent ship design from the yards at Kalath, working to respond to long range threats 

with something more effective than the light grasers on the current Scythe class frigates. The 

superstructure was kept the same, but most of the gun decks were ripped out to make 

space for spinal mount fusion torpedo magazine and launch array. While not as flexible as 

the torpedo ships of other races, the Fang is still a potent threat due to the fact it operates in 

large squadrons. Additionally, the large torpedo magazine necessitated the removal of most 

of the ship's marine quarters, halving the complement normally available on a Scythe.

Dindrenzi Battle Cruisers have been common sights on the fringes of the Storm Zone long 

before hostilities have flared between the Zenian League and Kurak Allaince. Champion 

Class Battle Cruisers are among some of the finest vessels in the galaxy with its well-balanced 

design and clever use of space and component layout making it the perfect command 

vessel for low priority sectors. 

Champion class Battle Cruisers are well equipped with well-trained crew, a suite of 

advanced sensors and communications gear allowing them to function as system 

command ships. Systems plagued by Pirates or under the threat of incursions from alien 

powers usual have at least one such ship serving within their territories to deter enemy 

invasions. After a lengthy negotiation with the Directorate, the existing Champion Class 

Battle Cruiser is currently testing an array of prototype sensors and technology designed for 

electronic warfare. Also, due to the low energy requirements of other systems and the 

cutting edge engine technology employed, the Champion is one of the faster Battle Cruisers 

serving in the known universe. In the instance that the Champion cannot outrun enemy ships 

such as nimble marauder vessel that sometimes plague outlying systems, it houses a launch 

bay with enough room to house several squadrons of bombers or interceptors. 

It was decided that the Champion would have to forgo torpedo tubes and mines in order to 

include a satisfactory level of armored plating and other offensive weaponry. Like the 

Gladius Gunship, the Champion mounts impressive broadsides rather than dual directional 

38 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

Gunracks. Its primary weapon, the spinal mounted railgun has been calibrated for long 

ranged encounters. 

In game terms, the Champion is a decent alternative to the Conqueror or Retribution if you 

wanted a budget large ship to fulfill your army requirements. It would be great for keeping 

up with a fast or cruiser heavy army as it has good speed and is still great at shrugging of 

enemy hits. It also has better broadsides than the Battleships but that is compensated that it 

still has fewer crew, less hp and CR with a weaker forward weapon. It mounts a small 

contingent of tiny fliers that can provide CAP or bombers/assaulters to chase down lonely 

enemy ships.

The Rage class Torpedo Cruiser demonstrates the ingenuity of Dindrenzi science as well as 

the flexibility of their weaponry. The Rage Class Torpedo Cruiser is less of a retrofit and more 

of a complete redesign of the Fury Class Cruisers. 

The value of Torpedo weaponry in space combat is apart with the need for guided explosive 

munitions being incredibly vital, especially during inter planetary invasion where low yield 

explosives could destroy or cripple military targets while leaving the rest of the planet viable 

for occupation. The Dindrenzi have always maximized the strength of their torpedo 

weaponry against their narrow firing arc’s allowing them to be fired concurrently with their 

Railguns. With other factions demonstrating the effectiveness of dedicated Torpedo attack 

cruisers that overwhelm the targets point defenses, the Rage Cruiser was designed to 

provide accurate and powerful torpedo support to the advancing fleets. 

The Torpedo tubes on the Fury were removed, as was the Rail Gun and was replaced by a 

singular torpedo launcher that employed the same firing principles of the Dindrenzi railguns. 

The gun fires a salvo of Torpedo’s shielded with stealth metals allowing them to travel 

unguided at rapid speeds towards their target. As the torpedoes are fired so fast and in 

rapid succession, the odds of them directly hitting their target are astronomically small, 

therefore after they reach a pre-programmed distance, the torpedoes engage counter trust 

and a second stage rocket ignition then guides the ordinance towards its intended target. 

The surprise factor of this weaponry had devastating effect during their initial engagements 

as the weapons launch often goes undetected by enemy ships due to the low energy 

40 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

equirements and speed of the torpedo. Point Defense systems scramble to counter the new 

threat and often they prove ineffective or fail to intercept the torpedoes entirely.

MARS: Reinforced Fore 


In the months after the initial invasion of the Storm Zone, the Dindrenzi military has shifted its 

focus from driving into enemy held territories to a consolidation of its newly acquired and 

vulnerable territories. With the fleets of the Kurak Alliance fully engaging their military 

complexes, battle lines have been drawn and the nature of engagements have transformed 

from short decisive battles to lengthy encounters. 

Dindrenzi ship designers aware of the inherent weakness of their ships design and reliance on 

railgun technology have had to design ships to complement tradition ship types in these 

coming battles. The Sickle Class Frigate has therefore become an increasingly common sight 

in the storm zone with many arriving to relieve and reinforce battle hardened fleets. 

Whereas the Hammer exemplifies the Dindrenzi’s favored weapon, employing a singularly 

powerful railgun capable of firing at incredible ranges for a ship of its size and class, the 

firepower on the Sickle appears under gunned and unwieldy. Despite retaining much of the 

same super structure and layout as the Hammer, its forward section has been extensively 

armoured and the removal of its primary weapon has allowed the introduction of ablative 

armor plating, additional redundant systems and room for short ranged assault craft and 

boarding launch tubes. It retains its light rear armaments and has expertly placed broadsides 

concealed within the ships gunracks allowing for optimal engagement at extremely close 

ranges. 

In combat, the Sickle is a second wave attack ship, it joins the battle as the bulk of the 

Dindrenzi vessels pass enemy capital ships. With its reinforced fore, and its already 

exceptional CR, the Sickle is not an ideal target to pick off in the early turns of the game. It 

42 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

has the single highest CR on any Frigate in the game and with 2 PD a full squadron would be 

difficult to remove at RB 4 with anything but the most determined attacks. 

It has extra AP than the Hammer as it is intended to board enemy ships. Its Gunracks are 

extremely powerful and have been modified and configured to be at optimum efficiency at 

RB 1 instead of 2. This is the only place where the Sickle has any firepower but with its high 

defensive abilities for a ship in this class it stands a great shot at arriving there with enough 

firepower left to threaten medium or even large capital ships in high enough numbers.

MARS: Vectored Engines 


The Stilleto Corvette is a fast nimble combatant with the speed to dive past an enemy 

headlong and then run it down with its speed and firepower. Designed first and foremost as 

a scouting ship or an early warning vessel, the Stilleto was used by the Dindrenzi navy to 

intercept unarmed vessels carrying pirates, illegal goods or to police its boarders during 

peace time. 

As the preparation for the war began, fewer Stilleto’s were constructed and they were 

initially deemed inappropriate and too far outdated to be used on the frontlines. The 

deployment of enemy corvettes and light vessels that are capable of outrunning and 

evading Dindrenzi patrols however has forced a large number of these ships retrofit and 

deployed to fill in holes in the Dindrenzi Battle strategy. 

The Dindrenzi have always maintained excellent engine technology that rivals the swift and 

elegant design of the Aquans. The Stiletto has powerful engines and a sleek design that is 

capable of maintaining incredible speeds. The weapon on the Stilleto class corvette has 

been affectionately nicknamed the Needler, in part for the shape of its munitions and the 

clean punctures it leaves on enemy ships from impacts. 

Stilleto’s speed enables them to overcome a major weakness of Dindrenzi ship design, their 

limited firing arcs that are dangerously easy to avoid in a close quarters battle. The Stilleto 

combines its incredible speeds with a level of maneuverability that is nearly impossible to 

match from other ship designs. Sub engines located along the length of the ships main gun 

are capable of enabling hyper sharp turns and counter thrust to control its approach to a 

44 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

attlefield. The Stilleto can make minute adjustments to its attack run as it closes with the 

enemy where other ships are forced to travel with their momentum. When an opening 

presents itself, it dives on the target and drives it down with its forward weapon impaling the 

target ship with round after round from its high powered railgun.

The Backsword is a relatively recent refit of the Claymore Carrier after feedback from field 

officers. The main rail cannon is stripped out of the ship (and usually then redeployed into a 

Victory class hull), together with the forward torpedo launchers. This allows a substantial 

upgrade of the flight deck space on the ship (with the central rail cannon accelerator tube 

converted into a rapid deployment launch facility), and a slight reduction in weapons 

officers (though security staff are retained to deter possible boarding actions). The gunrack is 

upgraded to provide better close-support fire and torpedo tubes refitted throughout the 

ships forward structure, giving a broader (though less substantial) all-range offensive 

capacity. The refit also results in a substantial upgrade of the Backsword's maneuvering 

capacity, which was a consistent weak point of the Claymore from combat experience.

Early models of the standard cruiser now used by the Dindrenzi Navy did not possess the 

characteristic gunracks seen in their modern naval arsenal due to a lack of necessary 

components. While the older model cruisers possessed Torpedo launch tubes that could fire 

in the entire 90 degree fore arc, they were plagued with targeting errors leading to poor 

accuracy at extended range. The most notable design element of Dindrenzi warships, the 

massive fixed fore rail weaponry, was still developmentally in its infancy and was highly 

susceptible to damage and overloads. Any hit to the vessel had the potential for 

catastrophic results.

The Dindrenzi Federation have a reputation for crafting solid vessels and weapons of war. 

The Sigil Class Battleship has been deployed the newly conquered sectors and regions of 

space as a demonstration of the dominance earned by the fleets of the Zenian League. 

With the subjugation of local fleets, the Sigil was designed to hold regions of space and exert 

influence over captured territories. After the initial engagment, resistance to the Federations 

advance would weaken with it expected than only a few picket ships or remenants of 

squadrons would be all to remain the harass the Leagues forces after securing a system or 

sector. Wary of a surprise attack that could endanger the Federations assets, considerations 

were made to ensure that the Sigil would be as well protected as it is dangerious. The Sigil 

has a few peculiarities that make it a standout design as it breaks some of the Dindrenzi's 

typical pinciples with its systems layout. One is its simple design requires extremely few limited 

crew, well below average for a ship of its size. This was intended so that fewer personel 

would be wasted engaging in rear action defense. Also the Dindrenzi's favoured primary 

weapon has been considerably downsized in its application to the Sigil with more room 

being spent on additonal armor, redundant systems and emergency repair systems left the 

room typically reserved for the fore railgun all but used. A smaller trunicated version is 

mounted in an 'underslung' fashion to the ships hull, however it is much smaller roughly 

equivelent to a Cruiser sized weapon However as a fortunate offset of being mounted to a 

ship of its size, the installed weapon has plentiful cooling systems and a battleship grade 

power system has increased the installed units rate of fire by nearly double. As with several of 

the newer designs of Dindrenzi vessel, the Sigil has been equipped with a limited flight bay 

capable of deploying interceptor wings or other flight support as needed. The Sigil was 

mounted with broadside weaponry as the new layout could afford to apply more turrets and 

49 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

secondary weapons across the hull. The engine housing contains many aft facing weapons 

giving the Sigil and intimidating complement of firepower. This flexibility has come at the cost 

of the ships Torpedo weaponry and mine laying capabilities. 

To date the design has proven its worth and despite the relative infancy of the conflict, not a 

single Sigil Class Battleship has sustained enough damage to have it removed from active 

duty though with opposition to the advance stiffening it is only a matter of time before 

several will be called to the front line. 

(My idea for the Sigil was that it would be a boxy, thicker vessel layered with broadsides 

similar to the Gladius. It was designed that way because paltry pirates or opportunists that 

might have had a shot at inflicted damage or even destroying a battleship would be faced 

with a near impossible task trying to assault the well defended Sigil that when complete with 

escort would be an impregnable sign of the Dindrenzi militaries superiority. I liked the idea of 

a weapon that was far better suited for dealing with lighter vessels than Capital Ships, I 

came up with the idea that the Sigil mounts the same foreward firepower of the Victory as 

well. It quite impressively has nearly the same defensive statistics as the Retribution 

Dreadnaught. The Sigil is however very well armed and so its not a budget battleship, fully 

equpied it deserves to be one of the more expensive ships in the game I would reason.

The Dindrenzi Federation believes itself to be fair and just - and for those who do not agree 

there are the penal planets where inmates are given time to adjust their beliefs. For minor 

criminals there is always the hope of rejoining the wider Federation, and the Penal legions 

are their chance to do just that. Pressed into service in substandard ships, these forces can 

be used to bolster forces in desperate circumstances. For the prisoners onboard, there 

remains the opportunity to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Federation and return to 

normal society by glory in battle. 

In order to ensure loyalty, the ships used by the penal legions have had their FSDs removed, 

thus needing to be jumped into (and out of!) theatre by another similarly sized vessel. In 

addition, they will be old hulls, not benefitting from the modern data-net support of the 

Dindrenzi military nor even necessarily well maintained. Finally, they have an interlock system 

allowing the ships reactors to be detonated remotely should any of the "volunteers" loyalty 

waver mid-battle. 

The Deliverance class is a prime example of a Penal legion ship - based on an older (usually 

battle-damaged and repaired) Challenger-Class hull (described in the Crummy ships 

thread!), it has had torpedo, FSD and advanced communications equipment removed, 

which reduces the required crew compliment and PD effectiveness, the space being used 

to house more "inmates" seeking freedom. Given simple kinetic weapons with limited 

ammunition, this force relies on numbers and sheer ferocity to achieve results. Of course, if 

the force do manage to successfully board an enemy ship, there is no guarantee that they 

51 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

will return to the welcome of Dindrenzi space - given a working FSD drive, they may choose 

exile elsewhere!

The Challenger design was one of the earliest designs in new Dindrenzi Naval design, which 

came as a complete surprise to Terran forces - the extremely rugged hull built around a 

massive rail cannon with tremendous power, specifically aimed at destroying Terran capital 

ships. The Conqueror bears many similarities with the Challenger, though as the Challenger 

design was completely new it tended to be non-optimal, leading to odd design quirks that 

could prove fatal if the ship was seriously damaged. Fortunately this was not a common 

occurrence (due to the ship's rugged construction) until new Terran designs began to 

emerge. Where the ship belies its age are in the traditional port & starboard broadside 

armaments, which lacked heavy hitting power at range; the broad fore-arc torpedoes that 

produced so many long-range targeting issues in early Dindrenzi naval design and the 

complete absence of aft armament or mines, leading to a serious blind arc. These issues 

were all addressed in the Conqueror, plus optimization of design produced increased 

survivability and resilience, and also allowed for installation of mine laying systems to prevent 

tail-gating by smaller ships.

The Cudgel class is the direct forerunner of the Hammer class, utilizing exactly the same hull, 

only having the single signature rail cannon for offense. Being an early utilization of the rail 

cannon in such a small hull, the Cudgel's systems were tuned for optimum-range encounters, 

without the long distance engagement capabilities of the present Hammer-class gun. As 

gunracks had not been implemented as standard designs at the time, and the hull was 

judged too small to mount meaningful broadside capabilities, the designers concentrated 

on a well-developed PD system to aid survivability. Although an older ship, Cudgel's can still 

be seen serving with current warships, this bearing testament to their rugged design and 

durability.

The Excalbur class cruiser is an experiment in rail weaponry, only now entering the prototype 

phase. Dindrenzi engineers have been constantly pushing to expand the available firepower 

of their warships, and have labored hard to create the potent Trinity class Rail cannon, 

mounting three accelerators fixed into a single chassis. Capable of delivering devastating 

firepower upon other cruisers with individual fire, or linking systems together for pinpoint 

delivery of their ultra-density payload to bring down the hardest of targets, The Excalibur 

class has been deployed in limited numbers throughout the Storm Zone. The advanced 

targeting and control systems that allow such devastating firing are incredibly intricate and 

are impossible to co-ordinate in more than a pair of vessels. Some commanders are 

reluctant to surrender more proven vessels, such as the Gladius, since both ships can bring 

devastating firepower to bear on targets, but the Gladius offers it in a more resilient 

package. The immense power drain from the Trinity cannon requires enormous capacitors to 

charge, and if these systems suffer damage while fully charged, can catastrophically 

discharge into the ship itself. This has been rated as a high priority to correct if the cannon 

proves successful in field tests. Even with such drawbacks, the ship has proven to be capable 

of inflicting truly staggering damage in a very short period of time, earning a terrifying, and 

fearsome reputation amongst any who have faced it in combat.

While the Excalibur cruiser was done as a proof of concept craft, the powerful Trinity rail 

cannon was proving hard to improve. The limits of current power generation and 

transmission were causing a great deal of difficulty in phasing out the overlarge capacitors 

that allowed the firing of such a weapon system. After months without improvement, 

Dindrenzi High Command threatened to pull the plug on Trinity Research. In desperation, the 

research team turned to upscaling the weapon, mounting it on the chassis of a battle 

cruiser, a class of vessel that had long since been supplanted by the powerful Conquerer 

battleship. Layering the hull in additional armour, the research team ensured that the 

capacitors would be adequately protected. In an attempt to free up addition power, the 

gun racks were scaled back significantly, brought to the level of the aging Claymore carrier. 

When the power requirements were still too high, the research team turned to captured 

enemy technology. Fitting superconductors taken from captured Xelocian vessels, the teams 

were finally able to balance the power transmission issues. The first Zweihander was 

deployed to a reserve fleet, and was regarded as a toy, until it faced the Terran 

dreadnought, the Atlas. Closing to optimum range, the vessel fired a volley that scored 

devastating damage on the much larger warship, even through the powerful shielding. The 

Atlas withdrew from the field, not willing to risk further damage. Since this incident, High 

Command has renewed interest in the Trinity cannon project.

Venom’s formed part of the Retholza battleline in the Storm Zone for several years before the 

introduction of the mark two. Though hailed by the Retholzian warleaders as a new design, it 

has been designated as a mark two Venom class by most other parties. The hull form 

remains the same, with minor exterior changes made to accommodate the replacement of 

the hydroxide cannon batteries with torpedo silos. Military analysts, particularly Directorate, 

have shown a keen interest in this development and are speculating why it has taken the 

Retholza so long to develop a long range torpedo vessel to tactically exploit their cloaking 

technology. Though not likely to shift the balance of power, this updated design is likely to 

frustrate admirals and may force a shift in tactical deployments. 

Design notes: With Retholza ships coming with cloaks and stealth systems as standard, why 

didn’t their destroyer make use of torpedoes? Torpedo starboard and port broadsides are a 

little odd, but hey….

Author: Rich 

The first combat sighting of the Chitin Class Assault Carrier occurred in the Chalkeria system. 

Emerging suddenly from fold space in orbit above a key military installation a squadron of 

Chitins managed to hold station whilst coming under heavy fire from surrounding gun 

platforms. Reltholza warriors were able to conduct orbital drop raids whilst under the 

protective umbrella of the squadron’s point defense. After sustaining catastrophic losses the 

local emergency response wings were forced to disengage, giving the Relthozan warships 

an opportunity to cloak and slip away before inbound reinforcements could enter weapons 

range. 

Blunt and brutal looking these Assault Carriers represent an escalation in the Storm Zone and 

surprisingly rapid innovation on the part of the Retholza in incorporating what were until 

recently cutting edge technologies. 

Design Notes: Intended to be close in and be fairly durable for its size class, and either deliver 

a wave of bombers or boarders, and then withdraw. The Chitin is intended as a ‘several 

years down the line’ ship where the technologies proven in the Bane R&D prototypes have 

been brought into front line units. The Chitin has a shunt move option like the Bane, but to a 

more modest degree. This allows it to rapidly close with the enemy before launching its 

wings, and to make a quick getaway if things get too rough. Likewise it incorporates the 

Apex’s bigger batteries design as a proven and ‘Reltholzaesque’ MAR. Having this MAR on a 

61 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

squadron of ships with a decent PD is presumably pretty good. Hopefully this gives the 

Retholza a carrier that is an interesting ship that lends itself to various strategies.

MARS: Hull Tearer Ammo (Port and Starboard), Stealth Systems 


The Husk class carrier is designed purely as a wing-delivery system. It shares a common hull 

design with the Hive, but production of the Husk deviates after fitment of the fore torpedo 

tubes. Whereas the Hive goes onto a full weapons fit with sophisticated targeting systems, 

the Husk has much simpler weapons tracking, the extra space being taken by further flight 

bays. This results in slightly poorer automated defense and close-range torpedo 

effectiveness, despite the same load out (longer ranges are not affected as the torpedoes 

own systems are fully in play by this time). With no boarding personnel, increased flight crew 

and bay operations compliment, the Husk is designed to lurk at the rear of an engagement, 

relying on its cloak and stealth systems to survive and torpedoes for long-range fire support. 

Whilst initially discounted by some, the Hive has a distinct advantage in the speed and cost 

of its production - a fully operational and wing-loaded Husk can deliver 150% of the wings at 

the front line for roughly the same cost in materiel as a bare Hive, and in two-thirds of the 

time.

RELTHOZA CRUISERS are deployed in SQUADRONS of 2 to 3 models 


MARS: Assault Blitz, Fast FSD, Stealth Systems 


The Funnelweb is a deadly new implementation of the Relthozas skill with FSD technology. At 

first its introduction was only noticed as an increased loss of civilian shipping in the dangerous 

but busy FSD points between The Wyndham Cluster and Muishkin's Rift. On investigation, 

however, very little evidence of military intervention was discovered - ships had just vanished 

- and it was initially thought there may be some increased foldspace distortion or other 

natural phenomenon accounting for the ships disappearances. Increased military ship 

contingents in more important convoys, however, led to the discovery of the Funnelweb 

class. 

The standard tactic of the Funnelweb (and it's primary design philosophy), is to wait in 

nearby interstellar space with minimal systems active, cloaked and stealthed to avoid 

detection. On detection of its targets FSD energy signatures, the Funnelweb jumps into 

boarding distance and assaults the enemy ship without warning. Being assaulted under 

these conditions leads to ineffective PD fire and so the crew can quickly become 

overwhelmed and the ship captured - even before any distress transmissions are broadcast. 

The Funnelweb typically rapidly retreats after disgorging it's assault troops, using it's stealth 

systems and cloaking device to aid it, and rear-mounted torpedoes to deter pursuit. It also 

has close-range port/starboard HELL batteries should it need to defend itself whilst in the fray, 

these being favored over the the usual hydroxide cannons as a convenient means of 

dumping ship system heat. 

This "shock and awe" surprise attack tactic is made possible due to the rapid recharge FSD 

64 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

units on the ships, allowing them to jump directly into theatre, immediately correcting FSD 

placement errors and being fully combat effective with no shunt-lag. Whilst their introduction 

was aimed at tapping primary shipping routes for valuable resources, reports have also been 

made about their use in military-only engagements to subjugate important vessels, or even 

smaller vessels to sap the overall strength of their enemy.

MARS: ECM Shroud, Reinforced Fore 


With the continued cooperation from the enigmatic Relthoza, the Directorate has begun an 

intensive program of resource and development. To maintain security this R&D program has 

been based on a small fleet that jumps from secret location to secret location. From this 

“Black Fleet” the Loki Class Cruiser was developed. 

Buy starting from a Tormentor’s hull the Black Fleet scions have managed to keep production 

costs to a minimum. The refit on each ship is quite an undertaking still as it requires removing 

the entire suite of torpedoes that are a Tormentor’s hallmark and replacing those with more 

conventional broadsides and turrets. They did manage to repurpose the Tormentor’s ECM 

suite and kept the Reactors and engines intact. 

The crowning achievement of the Black Fleet R&D group is the Loki’s ECM suite. When 

activated the vast arrays scattered throughout the ship renders an area of space distorted 

and tortured to ships sensors and target systems. This shroud renders all within “invisible to 

those systems. 

67 | P age Revised: 3/1/2013 12:56 PM

When the Shroud ECM is fully active the Loki Cruiser is unable to fire its weapons such is the 

power draw so it must rely on its shroud field for protection. From the Tormentor it does retain 

its cloaking field to give its captain the option between being hidden, or being obscured 

and able to fire. 

It should be noted that in tests with the Shroud Field activated that Fighter craft were able to 

still target the Loki Cruiser visually.

The Subjugation Class is a refinement of the Overseer class that focuses on delivering wings 

to the front line whilst still retaining full combat effectiveness once that mission is achieved. 

Exchanging the extensive torpedo fitments of the Overseer with further flight capacity and 

port/starboard maneuvering drive outlets enables the Subjugation to bring it's substantial 

fixed armament to bear effectively in the heart of a battle (with only a slight loss of overall 

drive performance). With only a slightly diminished compliment of security/offensive crew 

"units", it remains flexible in all situations. The Subjugation conversion is even possible in 

forward field repair bays, making it an extremely cost-efficient prospect for any combat 

director.

Broadsides, Turret or Torpedo attacks. This does include the model generating the ECM 

Shroud. When a Ship with a ECM Shroud is Activated, declare whether the Shroud is 

turned on or off BEFORE it is moved. Then place a Shroud Token next to the Ship at the 

end of its movement. The Ship gains the benefits AND drawbacks of the ECM Shroud 

until it removes the token at the end of a subsequent Activation. While the shroud 

activated this model may not make any Broadsides, Turret or Torpedo attacks or 

launch Boarding Assaults. Models within the Shroud are able to fire out at HALF AD. 

The ECM Shroud does block line of sight.

The Xelocian Bantri class Carrier is a prime example of Xelocian nomadic ways. The Bantri is 

primarily used as an HQ for the many scavenging and salvage operations the Xelocians do 

on a regular basis. 

The focus of the design was originally to be highly defensible against the smaller strike craft, 

corvettes and frigates used by raiders that would harass these harvesting missions away from 

the Imperial fleet. It was latter realized that the modular design and built in command and 

control would allow it to work as a carrier as well.

The Carradenri is the primary flagship of the Xelocian Imperium, and widely regarded as one 

of the most powerful warship that has been seen. Able to unleash blistering waves of 

firepower at any range, and wrapped in multiple layers of shields make it nearly invulnerable 

to incoming fire. While the Carradenri is still with the majority of the Imperium fleets behind

The Goum 

The Goum Phenomena is an area bordering Sorylian space along Fathom's reach. The 

Sorylians have studied the phenomenon for centuries but rarely attempt to send ships into it, 

after several disastrous attempts in the 3200s. At first the phenomenon appears to be nothing 

more than an especially dense cluster of stars. Closer inspection reveals a number of bizarre 

properties. Attempts to chart the star systems within the Phenomena via passive observation 

from without reveal a seemingly endless number of stars. Over a hundred billion unique 

stellar bodies have been recognized, despite the fact that the size of the Phenomenon 

could not possibly contain so many stars so closely without them collapsing together. Then to 

the distance measurements of the stars place them very far away, much longer distances 

than the size of the Phenomenon. It's as if you looked into a 10' square room and saw millions 

of people scattered across continents within it. What's more some of the charted stars 

exactly match characteristics of known stars throughout the galaxy. 

Attempts to explore the rift have resulted in disaster, in part because crossing the threshold 

that marks the edge of the Phenomenon exerts tremedous stresses upon any ship. The first 

exploration probes were literally ripped apart as they passed into the phenomenon. 

Eventually Sorylian physicists found ways to lessen the mysterious stresses, allowing for probes 

and ships to pass into the Phenomenon. Probes sent back limited telemetry, and that 

seemed delayed by years in it's passage back through the threshold. A few ships of living 

explorers have penetrated the Phenomenon. It is from them we get the only data on what 

we call the Goum. In 3277, transmissions were received of the Solar Sojourner that showed 

what can only be assumed to be a ship. The vessel was of utterly alien design of spinning 

rings and seemingly disconnected parts. It moved by contracting in on itself until gone and 

then expanding outward in a new location. The Sojourner attempted communication and 

the transmission abruptly ended. Over the centuries the Goum vessels have been spotted 

within the Phenomenon 3 other times. They may in fact have all been the same vessel, for 

although it has at times appeared somewhat differently the nature of the ship hardly 

precludes this.
