Weapons Systems: Though an EMPEROR-Class ship is more than able to defend herself, her primary function, and therefore weap, is her EXTENSIVE sensory suite; Therefore, any sensor not necessary to ship’s functions (simple maneuvering) are listed here, rather than in Features.

1. DS-1 Pinpoint Barrier Defense System: A smaller defensive system which uses four movable force field disks, conformal to the ship’s surface, to repel light missile attacks, or energy beam fire. It serves as a back up to the DS-2 system. This system is substantially inferior to those used in the IKAZUCHI-Class refits. MDC: 5ØØ. Attacks/Actions per Melee: Per operators attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 to 6 per melee). Range: 2ØØ feet. Payload: Unlimited. 2. DS-8 Variable Barrier Defense System: An advanced force field system which covers the entire ship with what appears to be a single yellow-greenish force field; However this is an illusion. The “single” barrier field is actually 6, fixed-aspect pinpoint barriers, to which power can be increased or decreased as necessary. This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. Excess energy is shunted from the field to large onboard capacitators, which is eventually discharged through the defensive laser batteries; In theory, this will occur in combat only, though occasional discharges happen even during Charlie periods (in port for repairs and maintenance). The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and the energy MUST be discharged BEFORE the stored energy overloads the field causing the equivalent of a nuclear missile-explosion ONBOARD and well inside the hull. Most of this damage will be to equipment surrounding the shield generators itself, so the vessel should survive; She will suffer severe damage to its internal electronics and power systems, and the systems affected will be inoperable until repairs are made. MDC: 1,5ØØ per panell (6). Coverage Characteristics: A full 36غ coverage area around the ship. Attacks/Actions per Melee: Per operators attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 to 6 per melee). Range: 2ØØ feet. Payload: Unlimited. 3. DS-2 Full-Force Barrier System: An advanced force field system which covers the entire ship with a single yellow-greenish force field. This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. Excess energy is shunted from the field to large onboard capacitators, which is eventually discharged through the defensive laser batteries; In theory, this will occur in combat only, though occasional discharges happen even during Charlie periods (in port for repairs and maintenance). The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and the energy MUST be discharged BEFORE the stored energy overloads the field causing the equivalent of a nuclear missile-explosion ONBOARD and well inside the hull. Most of this damage will be to equipment surrounding the shield generators itself, so the vessel should survive; She will suffer severe damage to its internal electronics and power systems, and the systems affected will be inoperable until repairs are made. MDC: 1Ø,ØØØ. Attacks/Actions per Melee: Per operators attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 to 6 per melee). Range: 2ØØ feet. 4. Defensive Laser Batteries (15): A battery of defensive lasers dot the hull of these vessels. Mostly for anti-missile and meteorite defense. MD: 5D6 per blast. Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee). Range: 5ØØ feet. Payload: Unlimited. 5. Defensive Missile Batteries (1Ø): A Mini- or Short-Range Missile Launchers, mounted 5 per broadside to discourage fighters and break up meteorites and comets. MD and Range: Varies by missile type. Missile Type: Any Mini-Missile or SRM, though SRM is preferred as it is easier to launch. Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee). Payload: 2,ØØØ SRMs or Mini-Missiles or combination thereof; There is no increase in capacity. 6. Heavy Missile Batteries (Ø8): Medium- and Long-Range Missile Launchers, mounted at the bow. MD and Range: Varies by missile type. Missile Type: Any MRM OR LRM. Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee). Payload: 2ØØ MRMs and 2Ø LRM’s. 7. Tri-Part Beam Cannons (1Ø): A triple-Particle Beam weapon based, in part, on the Gnerl’s nose PBC. The three PBC’s now fire together, on a carrier-beam laser which increases their range and cohesion MUCH FURTHER than standard as well as increases accuracy; The carrier-beam laser is itself fairly harmless except to civilian-grade optics. However, the beams, when they reach their maximum range, implode (like a collapsing star), creating an explosion. The explosion is fairly harmless. MD: 6D6 per triple blast. Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee). Range: 5ØØ feet; Range can actually be adjusted by reducing or increasing power to the carrier laser. Payload: Unlimited. 8. Hardened Circuits: The electronics on board are unaffected by EMPs or scramblers. Purpose: Defense. Effect: EMPs, even military grade ones, have no effect. Ators are known to have such weapons. Range: On board. Coverage Characteristics: All on-board electronics. 9. Magnetic Shields: A magnetic shield beyond the Full-Force Barrier Field disperses ion and particle beams and befuddles missile electronics. Purpose: Defense. Type: Shield. Effect: All particle beams do ½ damage; Missiles have a 3Ø% chance of being confused and missing; Ion beams are also diminished: Roll normal effect +1Ø%; If restricted, ship is sluggish, not DIS. Range: 35Ø feet beyond the craft. Effective Against: Particle and ion beam and missiles only; Lasers are unaffected, as are other weapons. Coverage Characteristics: A full 36غ coverage area around the craft. 1Ø. Decoy Pods: The Steneirian style decoy pods still in use on the Steiner Fighter has been installed on the EMPEROR-Class under a working agreement with the Steiner Republic. The decoys themselves are specially modified Mini-Missiles that produce burning globs of magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems, as well as creating a lot of smoke to obscure the fighter. NOTE: Though the modified mini-missiles combine smoke flares, AMC/FDs, and LDP’s, they aren’t powerful enough for use with Destroids/Guardians/Etc. Reduce effects by 2Ø% against smart missiles (add +2Ø% to rolls for smart missiles.) Purpose: Defense. Effect: Ø1-5Ø: Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed. 51-75: Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target). 76-ØØ: No effect, missile is still on target. Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half. Also, a cloud of smoke approximately 25³ feet. Duration: 1D4 melee rounds. Rate of Fire: Once per melee. Payload: 6 chaff/flares. 11. Westinghouse SAQ-31Ø(V) Active Sensor Jamming: A circuit-hardening program that provides internal ECM protection. NOTE: The system has an effective protective sphere of 2Øس; Beyond that, the system is spotty and insufficiently effective, though intermittent jamming effect continues. Friendly units are equipped with overrides, so the jamming doesn’t effect them. Purpose: Sensor and radio jamming. System Type: Radar jammer. Effect: Causes a loss 75% loss of information to enemy radar in a 2ØØ miles sphere; Reduce enemy read sensory equipment by 4Ø%. Range: 2Øس miles. Effective Against: Any sensors and radio EXCEPT laser comms. Coverage Characteristics: A full 36غ within the 2Øس mile sphere.

Range: Per Selected Sensor. Minimum Target Characteristic: Per Selected Sensor. Coverage Characteristics: Per Selected Sensor. 13. Anarrisa Systems Threat Identification and Engagement System (TIES) Version 5.1a: A sub-system in the IBM-85ØØ Combat Computer System is TIES V; It assists the sensor operators and Mission Commander in identifying targets and selected the proper forces needed for the most effective threat neutralization. The computer then identifies the 3ØØ most threatening targets for the Combat Computer, and assist it in tracking these targets. This system is cable of storing data on the top 9,ØØØ Identified Targets. It tells the Combat Computer what the target is and what sort of forces should be used on it. Contains all currently known designs, all known major variants, and design characteristics parameters for unknown designs; The system has an 8Ø% unknown design type ID success rate (this reflects chances of identifying an unknown design by type, such as bomber vs. attacker). It also has a 9Ø% ID rate for known designs, and 85% id rate for major variants. Even when the specific variant can not be identified, the basic design USUALLY still can be, and when all else fails it can still at least determine what type of craft the target is. When even this fails, it can read out size, power use, and identifiable weapons systems for the sensor operators. The system also can interface directly with the sensor operators via text readout and synthesized voice system; One such sub-sub-assembly exists for each sensor operator and the Mission Commander; Additionally, they can select data to be shown on their individual displays. Purpose: Target Identification and Threat Assessment. System Type: Threat Identification and Engagement System (TIES) Effect: Knows every major type of threat in the universe, including machines, psionics, magic, and natural occurrences with a effective understanding of 98%. Range: Per Selected Sensor. Minimum Target Characteristic: Not Applicable. Coverage Characteristics: Per Selected Sensor. 14.
