Battle Zone Technology: Yevethan Capital Ships

STARFIGHTERS

• Yevethan D-type Starfighter: The D-type Starfighter has better acceleration and maneuverability than most human designed starfighters (an A-Wing is at this level of engineering) since Yevethans can physically tolerate more g-force and have an edge in inertial dampening technology. It is 12 meters long, has a crew of 1 and looks like an F-15. It has no hyperdrive capability, has a maneuverability rating of 25/25, and can travel at 1,300 km/h in atmosphere. The weapons complement consists of 3 fire-linked, front aimed laser cannon (damage is 300). Hull and shield strength are 200 and 100, respectively. Cost is 130 points. You must be a Yevethan military officer to purchase one of these ships

CLASS A CAPITAL SHIP SCALE

• Yevethan Armadia-class Thrustship: Code-named "T-type" and nicknamed "Fat Man," this is the main combat cruiser of the Yevethan space force. It is a 240 meter diameter spheroid with chemical thrust pulse-lift engine cones protruding from one end. Yevethan freighters look quite similar, making it tough to prioritize targets. It requires a crew of 6,859 (including 49 gunners), and can carry 1,600 passengers. It has a hyperdrive rating of 2, a maneuverability rating of 45, and can travel (noisily) at 950 km/h in atmosphere. The weapons complement consists of 8 turret mounted turbolaser batteries (damage is 250 each) mounted on an internal shift-track, 3 proton torpedo launchers (damage is 450 each), a centrally mounted gravity bomb launcher with 4 bombs per load (damage is 350 per bomb), and 4 ten-tube missile batteries. The gravity bombs are too slow to be effective against fighters (and easy pickings for counter-fire), but their side-steering maneuvering thrusters give them a nice shot at slower vessels and, being matter weapons, they are unaffected by energy shields. These ships carry 40 Yevethan D-type fighters. Hull and shield strengths are 300 and 250, respectively. Cost is 350 points. You must be a Yevethan military officer to purchase one of these ships.
