TERRAN EQUIPMENT
  Note:  Starcraft D6 does not make use of Scale to decide damage and to-hit modifiers.  Weapons do the damage listed to any unit, regardless of size, unless otherwise noted.  Where Scale is mentioned, it is only provided to give an indication of the relative size of particular vehicles or ships.

WEAPONS
The weapons below are indicative of the types used by Terrans.
Terms:
Damage:  This is the standard damage that the weapon can do.  Simply roll the number of dice indicated and add any other modifiers.  Note:  the damage system does not follow WEG's D6L standard system, which is success-based.  Here, roll the dice and sum their value normally to establish the damage done.

Quick Damage:  To make damage calculations easier, GM's and players may choose to use the Quick Damage amounts.  Quick Damage has the character roll 4 Damage Dice and add the average of any remaining, unrolled dice.

Range:  The range in meters of a weapon.  Difficulties increase with greater distance (see Actions and Combat).

Difficulty:  The difficulty number the user must equal or surpass in order to hit.

Concealability:  A measure of how difficult it is to conceal the weapon under clothes.  GM's may modify this depending on the kind of clothes worn (increased difficulty if only an evening gown is worn, bonuses is an overcoat is worn).

Complexity:  Some weaponry is particularly complicated to repair.  Add any complexity modifier to the base difficulty when such attempts are made.



MELEE WEAPONS
Typical Knife
Damage:  STR +2 (not +2D, just +2)
Range:  2/4/8 (thrown)
Scale: Character
Skill: Melee Weapons:  Knife, Thrown Weapons:  Knife
Difficulty: Easy
Concealability:  Very Easy
Note:  A typical knife can be thrown, but increase the difficulty by 5.

Combat Knife
Damage:  STR +1D+1
Scale: Character
Skill: Melee Weapons:  Knife (cannot be thrown)
Difficulty: Easy
Concealability:  Moderate (length tends to by 1-2 feet.

Sword
BDV: STR+2D
Scale:  Character
Skill:  Melee Weapons:  Sword
Difficulty:  Easy (2)
Concealability:  Difficult.
Note:  Most  colonies have laws against carrying around swords in public.  However, swords are often used in the Badlands where ammunition for more advanced weaponry are scarce.

Club/Baseball Bat
BDV: STR +1D
Scale:  Character
Skill:  Melee Weapons:  Club
Difficulty:  Very Easy
Concealability:  Moderate
Notes:  Clubs are any blunt object made to hit something else hard.  GM's should alter the damage rating depending on the quality of the club.  For example, a broom stick might only do STR + 2 damage while a crowbar might do STR +2D.  Also note that if the object is not very strong, it will likely break when used as a weapon.
 

FIREARMS
As I said before, the guns listed here are very basic.  See the Ammunition list below for specialized ammo.  For  much more detailed lists of firearms, check out Joe's Gun Catalog or Aaron LaBow's weapons list in PDF or Word 2000 formats.  You can use the ranges given below for the weapons that Joe lists (or the ranges listed by Aaron).

ARMOR
There are a wide variety of available armors in the Starcraft world, and characters who will be facing battle are well advised to make use of them.

Terms
Strength:  Represents the wearer's Strength while in the powered armor.
Jumping Bonus:  to be added to all Jump attemps while the powersuit is worn.
Dexterity:  This is the wearer's effective Dexterity while in the powersuit.  Some high-quality powersuits will augment the wearer's abilities.  If this value is higher than the wearer's normal skill levels, those skills are increased to equal this value.
Armor Value:  Protective points, as normal armor.
Hit Points:  Structural integrity of the suit.  When powered armor is reduced to 1/4 points or less, each time it takes damage 1 die worth of those points (1D6) pass to the wearer.  Furthermore, the suit will suffer penalties just as a wounded person would.  So at 3/4 points, it reduces all the wearer's rolls by 1D.  At 1/2 and less, they are reduced 2D, etc.  When the HP's reach 0, the suit will cease to function and the wearer must roll a 1D6.  On a one, the suit will explode in 5d6 seconds causing 5D6x3 points of damage to anyone within 2 meters of it.
Complexity:  This is added to the base difficulty to repair the powersuit.
Optics:  A list of optical options available to the pilot.  See Cybernetics for a more complete description.
Communications:  A list of communications gear loaded into the unit.  See Cybernetics for more information.
Vocal:  An vocal hardware and software built into the machine.
Notes:  Additional information about the suit.

Concealability:  Difficult.
Other:  PPA's generally are self-contained systems, protecting users from gasses and other airborne contaminants.  Air supplies generally last 8 hours.
Game Notes:  Powered armor is finely tuned to each individual user (requires 1D6 hours to customize a suit to a particular user).  Attuned suits result in no penalties to Dexterity or Instincts for users.  If a user dons a suit without adjusting it to his own specifications, he will suffer -2D to Dexterity based rolls.

Civilian Powered Armor
Type:  Powered Armor
Scale:  Character.
Strength:  4D
Jumping Bonus:  +1D
Dexterity:  Operator's Dexterity
Armor Value:  15 / 11 / 7 / 3
(When the AV is reduced to 3/4, the suit will begin to malfunction.  The wearer will suffer -1D to all actions until it reaches 1/2 AV.  At that point, the penalty increases to -2D.  Finally, at 1/4 AV to 1 point, the wearer will suffer -3D.  When the AV reaches 0, what is left of the armor will freeze up.)

(When the AV is reduced to 3/4, the suit will begin to malfunction.  The wearer will suffer -1D to all actions until it reaches 1/2 AV.  At that point, the penalty increases to -2D.  Finally, at 1/4 AV to 1 point, the wearer will suffer -3D.  When the AV reaches 0, what is left of the armor will freeze up.)
Complexity:  0 (SCV's are very reliable and well-designed, so they are easy to fix).
Optics:  Light Amp, Computer Link, Microscopic Lens
Communications:  Comm Link, Broadband Receiver
Vocal:  Standard speaker.
Weapons:  None.  The unit's Fusion Cutter may be used for Melee Combat, doing 5D damage.  Even if the Cutter does not penetrate armor, it will reduce the Armor Value by 1 point each round the armor is exposed to the cutter.
Cost:  approximately $50,000 for standard suit.  Options may be added for an additional cost.
Description:  Part armored suit and part one-manned vehicle, SCV's are the standard repair and construction unit for the Terran colonies.  While the SCV's have fully articulated arms and legs, they usually move via hoverjets built into the back (flight ceiling is about 15 feet).  Nearly every tool a technician may need is built into the SCV.  SCV's are also fitted for mining operations, and extract and deliver minerals and gassess to manufacturing plants.

CMC-300/400 Powered Combat Suit (PCS)

Weapons:  None built in.  Most marines carry 8mm C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle.
Complexity: 10
Optics:  None.  Most units have external "headlights".
Communications:  Secure Commlink, Broadband Receiver.
Vocal:  Can be equipped with a loud speaker and translators as necessary.
Cost:  Not available to the general public.  $75,000-$100,000 on the black market.
Notes:  The PCS is the standard-issue powered armor for Terran Marine forces.  Most grunts have few modifications to their suits--since so few survive their battles, authorities see little point in investing in suits that will soon only hold corpses.  Still, some enterprising soldiers have managed to tweak their PCS's systems and add some personal touches.

CMC-600 Firebat Suit (Firebat)
Type:  Armored Assault Trooper
Scale:  Character
Strength:  6D
Jumping Bonus:  +1D
Dexterity:  Operator's Dexterity

Cost:  Not available to the general public.  $75,000-$100,000 on the black market.
Notes:  The CMC is the standard-issue powered armor for Terran Firebat Heavy Infantry.  The Firebats make few modifcations to the complex suits, if only because it might blow up if they do.  However, they often decorate it with slogans, personal identifiers, and raunchy pictures.

Hostile Environmental Suit (Ghost Suit)
Type:  Espionage/Intelligence Environmental Suit
Scale:  Character
Strength:  Operator's Strength.
Jumping Bonus:  +0D
Dexterity:  Operator's Dexterity
Armor Value:  15 / 11 / 7 / 3.  May be increased for each Infantry Armor upgrade.

Vocal:  Can be equipped with a loud speaker and translators as necessary.
Cost:  Not available to the general public.  $75,000-$100,000 on the black market.
Potential Upgrades:

  • Personal Cloaking Device:  Terrans may fit their HES's with micro- cloaking devices with the Personal Cloaking Upgrade.  Only psionically gifted people may use these cloaking devices, which actually channel the psionic energies of the user to render them invisble to all be special detectors.
    • Power Drain:  The Cloaking Device may only remain active for about 5 minutes out of every hour.  It requires 10 minutes to recharge 1 minute of cloaking power.
  • Nuclear Guidance Lasers:  HES suits may be specially fit (through an Upgrade) to include targeting lasers.  The spatial data from the lasers is broadcast back to a nearby nuclear silo and will guide a limited nuclear warhead to the target site.  Of course, this often kills the targeting Ghost...
  • Moebius Reactor Upgrade:  the micro-reactor that powers the suit may be enhanced to provide more efficient power output for the Ghost.
    • Effect: Doubles the recharge time for energy spent on Cloaking or Lockdown rounds.
Notes:  The HES is worn by the Terran Ghost units and are specially designed to make optimum use of the Ghost's psionic abilities.  While non-Psionics may wear the suits, they will garner few of the benefits.

Pauling Armored Suit (PAS)
Type:  Medical Emergency Powered Armor
Scale:  Character
Strength:  4D+1
Jumping Bonus:  +1D
Dexterity:  Operator's Dexterity
Armor Value:  20 / 15 / 10 / 5.
(When the AV is reduced to 3/4, the suit will begin to malfunction.  The wearer will suffer -1D to all actions until it reaches 1/2 AV.  At that point, the penalty increases to -2D.  Finally, at 1/4AV to 1 point, the wearer will suffer -3D.  When the AV reaches 0, what is left of the armor will freeze up.)
Weapons:  None.  PAS's do have an arm mounted flash grenade launcher which may be used to illuminate dark areas (1/4 mile square) that will potentially blind anyone looking into the flash (Resistance roll to avoid).  This launcher may be Upgraded to become a more potent weapon (see below).
Complexity: 10
Optics:  None.  Most units have external "headlights".
Communications:  Secure Commlink, Broadband Receiver.
Vocal:  Can be equipped with a loud speaker and translators as necessary.
Cost:  Not available to the general public.  $75,000-$100,000 on the black market.
Potential Upgrades:

  • PAS Armor may be Upgraded with an adequate investment of Resources.  Each upgrade will raise the base armor value by 10.
  • Restoration/Inoculation:  Medics may be provided with powerful nano-technological medicines that will negate the effects of alien viruses.
  • Optical Flares:  the built in flash grenades may be upgraded to cause severe, permanent damage to anyone looking into the flash.  Potential victims within 10 meters of the flare must make a Difficult Resistance check or suffer permanent blindness (Difficult to repair the retinal damage).
Notes:  The PAS is worn by the Terran Medics Corp into battle.  The suits have all the tools and medicines a field medic might need.  They may be upgraded with an investment of resources to provide inoculations against Zerg parasitization.


COMPUTERS
Computer technology is highly advanced in the world of Starcraft.  The interface systems of most common computers render it so that even the beginning user can easily access the system.  There are a wide variety of handheld, desktop, and super computers that the characters may encounter.  Some cyborgs may be modified to directly interface with computers.

Plastic Explosives
Mines

Spider Mines
Class:  Anti-personnel "Smart" Mine
Scale:  Character
Size:  Roughly .5 meter square when stored.  1.5 meters tall when extended on legs.

Cloaking Device:  An upgraded Wraith may be fitted with a cloaking device that will hide it from all but the most specialized sensors.  The Cloaking Device will render any detection of the cloaked vessel Extremely Difficult (30).  However, the Wraith may only cloak for about 5 minutes at a time (and must recharge 3 minutes for every 1 minute spent cloaked.  Finally, if the cloaked Wraith is detected by an enemy sensor, it may be "painted" so that all enemy units--not just the detector--will spot the vessel and may fire on it.  Wraiths refit with a new Apollo Reactor may stay cloaked longer and recharge their energy faster.  The Reactor permits the Wraith to remain cloaked for 10 minutes at a time (recharging 2 minutes for every 1 minute spent cloaked).
Description:  The Wraith Space Superiority Fighter forms the cutting edge of the Terran navy's sword.  Terran tactics have been moving from the hulking capital ship slugfest towards more agile and versatile starship assaults.  With its cloaking device and weaponry fit for ground and air combat, the Wraith provides exactly what modern tacticians needs in defending the Terran homeworlds.

  • Search: 40 / 2D
  • Focus: 2 / 3D
Weapons:  .None.  However, many of the Science Vessel's systems may be modified to serve offensive and defensive purposes.
  • Defensive Matrix (standard).
    • Originally designed to protect science vessels from solar radiation and other space-bound dangers, the ships' shield generators have been modified to focus a burst of protective energy around a small area, effectively extending Starship-class shields to a smaller scale unit.
    • Shields:  Provides equivalent of 60 points of Armor to the selected target for 5 rounds (@ 30 seconds).
    • Cooldown:  The Defensive Matrix must cool down for 30 seconds (@ 5 rounds) before being used again.
  • EMP Shockwave (Upgrade).
    • The Science Vessel may use its sensors to generate a brief burst of electro-magnetic energy that will disable the shields and electronics of any nearby units (will have no effect on Terran or Protoss personal powersuit, however).  The emitting vessel will be unaffected, but any friendly units within the EMP's range will suffer its ill effects.
    • Skill:  Sensors:  Science Vessel
    • Range:  100 meters from vessel.
    • Cooldown:  The EMP must recharge for 1 minute (10 rounds) between uses.
      • Titan Reactor Upgrade:  permits the EMP to cut its recharge time down to 30 seconds.
  • Irradiate (Upgrade).
    • The Science Vessel may focus its sensors on a single unit and expose it to dangerous levels of radiation.
    • Skill:  Sensors:  Science Vessel
    • Range: 20 / 50 / 100
    • Damage:  6D (reduce Armor protection by 1/2) for 2D6 rounds.  The target will glow and give off radioactivity, damaging any unit within 3 meters (5D radiation damage each round of exposure, reduce Armor protection by 1/2).
    • Cooldown:  The Science Vessel may only use Irradiate once per 30 second (5 rounds).
      • Titan Reactor Upgrade:  permits the Vessel to use Irradiate once per 15 second (3 rounds).
Description:  Science Vessels once moved away from the Terran core worlds, to explore new planets, chart deep space, and discover new stellar phenomena.  But with the incursions of the Zerg and Protoss, these exploratory vessels have been recalled to help defend Terran worlds.  They must now twist the tools they used for science and discovery into weapons fit for the new, bloody battlefield.
