Guestbook

• SCV Assembly Line:  Command Centers have an in-house, robotic factory capable of producing the SCV’s vital to any mining or military operation.
• Mineral Refinery:  as the first structure built in any base, Command Centers need to be able to produce the materials for subsequent buildings.  Each Center uses small smelting and manufacturing facilities to break down raw materials and manufacture usuable parts.
• Ops Center:  the Centers also serve as the primary operations core for any base.  Each has extended communication and computer facilities, debriefing rooms, and offices for command personnel.
• Staff Quarters:  most Centers are outfitted to house at least the core staff needed to run the base.

ComSat Station:  ComSats improve the communications and sensor facilities for a Center.
Hit Points:  350
Communications Facilities:  may have long-range space communications. Also, add +3D to any Communications or Security: Encryption attemps.
Sensors: (ranges given for in an atmosphere.  Multply by 10 for Space distance).

Passive: 20km / 0D

Scan:  5 km / 1D

Search: 2km / 2D

Focus: 1 km / 3D. 

Cloak Disruption:  ComSats have sensitive sensors that may be employed to pierce any cloak within a scanned area.  These sensors must be activated purposely (i.e., the controlling character must announce he is doing so) and can only be used once every 5 minutes.

Nuclear Silo:  while full-scale nuclear weapons are no longer used, smaller, tactical nukes may be built by some Confederate forces.
Hit Points:  400.
Nuke Factory:  each Silo has a robot factory capable of producing one nuclear warhead and rocket at a time.  The missile will fill up the silo when built and another cannot be built until the first one is launched.
Nuclear Damage:  30D damage to all targets within 200 m of the primary target.  Reduce damage by 2D for each addtional 10 m frm zone of impact.  The area will remain radioactive for a long time afterwards, doing 6D radiation damage to any uprotected individual in the hot zone.
Quick Damage:  6D+84
Guidance:  To prevent hackers from over-riding a nuke’s course programming, Terrans have stripped nuclear warheads of any independent guidance computers.  While nukes may be launched to strike any fixed position on a planet or within low orbit.  However, they require a Ghost to “paint” the target site with guidance lasers.  In general, the Ghost must be within line of sight of the nuke.  During the missile flight, the Ghost will receive the missile’s telemetry and make minor corrections to best guide the weapon “home”.  A nuke fired without a guidance scout on the ground will almost certainly miss its mark and will likely be overridden by enemy systems---and perhaps directed back on its makers.

• Storage:  Supply Depots serve mainly as the storage centers for growing bases.  They house the food, standard arms, fuel, and other necessities for a Terran Base.
• Stores:  Supply Depots are often outfitted by private companies that sub-contract to bring supplies to a base.  They often have private stores where miners and soldiers can spend hard-earned chips on luxaries like candy, soap and pornography.  Some of the more developed Depots will have black-market goods, illicit entertainment facilities, and serve as havens for the local underground.

Vespene Refinery
Role:  Vespene Extraction and Processing Station

Barracks
Role:  Trooper Training and Housing Facility
Hit Points:  500
Air Speed: 13 m/ round; @ 8 km / hour.
Facilities:

• Troop Training Center:  all new recruits are brought in and trained in the Barracks.
• Troop Bunkrooms:  each soldier is bunked with his troop mates in long rooms that have little but bunkbeds and washrooms.

Academy
Role: Elite Trooper Training and Research Facility
Hit Points:  400

Air Speed: 0 (cannot be moved).
Facilities:

• Elite Training Center:  every Academy has facilities where top troopers may be trained with advanced weaponry and techniques.  Academies are necessary for any base with Firebats, Medics or Ghosts.

• Effect:  Double all ranges for the C-14 Impaler for troopers served by this base.
• Cost:  2 RP
• StimPacks:  Academy bio-techs may also formulate dangerous stimulant-cocktails that can be given to Marines and Firebats.  These drugs increase the killing-capacity of the infantry, but cause some tissue damage.  Long-term side effects include addiction, organ damage, and psychosis (@ 1 % of multiple users).
• Effects:  For 3 rounds, add +3D to any attack attempts.  Also add: +1D to Strength; +2D Jumping; +1D Dodge; +2D Running; +2D to Willpower
• Side Effects:  Each time the StimPack is used, the trooper suffers 10 damage (cannot be reduced).  Furthermore, the trooper must make an Easy Willpower roll.  Failure results in addiction.  A Critical Failure (Complication) means that the trooper has developed a psychosis making him dangerous to others and himself.  He must be treated for 1D6 weeks to rid himself of the psychosis.
