D6 Universe

Have you ever wanted to make your own starships in Star Wars but never felt you could do it and come up with a reasonable price and reasonable stats for it?  Well this is for you.  This PDF has a system for creating starships, both fighters and capital ships, for use in the Star Wars roleplaying game.  Now you can tell how much you can put into a certain ship based on its size.  Now you can tell how many weapons can be on the ship.  Now you’ll know how much a ship like that will cost…and it all fits within the Star Wars universe.

So enter the shipyards, open the PDF, and start making ships!

A lesser known droid manufactured by Arakyd Industries is the Diamondback orbital jamming droid. Used almost exclusively by Imperial Ubiqtorate, the small shieldless Diamondbacks are usually ejected into orbit around planets where it is crucial that their intra- and interplanetary radio and hyperwave communications are to be disrupted, pending arrival of a proper Imperial military incursion force. Usually enough droids are deployed around a planet at synchronous orbit to ensure full disruption coverage of the world. No calls for external aid nor communications to coordinate surface forces to repel an incursion can be made.

The Diamondback is primarily a dome with built-in photoreceptors and other EM sensors. The jamming antenna is mounted at the end of a pylon which extends downwards from the bottom of the dome. Also fixed upon gimbals on the pylon is a small but effective anti-starfighter quad laser cannon, whose power is fed from a generator placed within the pylon. Finally, smaller comm rectennae allows for the droid to communicate with other Diamondbacks or a command ship.

GM Notes: The Diamondbacks uses the blaster skill to shoot at incoming ships when their cover are blown. To attempt to cut through the jamming, roll your PC’s communications skill against the droid’s communication skill as the difficulty number. The jamming only works in line of sight. If only one droid is jamming the planet, a person on the far side will still be able to communicate.

The Clone Wars were a trying time for Anakin Skywalker, as he faced ceaseless warfare on scattered worlds while struggling to keep his marriage a secret, and chafing under the restrictions of the Jedi order. He found escape in his childhood love of flight, and in the simple joy of tinkering with machinery. The end result of these two passions was a heavily modified starfighter exclusive to the Chosen One.

Four thousand years before the horrors of the Sith Wars and over eight millennia before the mighty behemoths of the Imperial Navy plyed the spacelanes, one class of ship was the absolute last word in naval warfare supremacy: the Thunderlord-class Dreadnought.

Over two miles long and bristling with weaponry that would force even modern warships into evasive maneuvers, the Thunderlord-class was one of the architectural marvels of its age and the pride of the Galactic Republic Navy. Loosely based upon the design of the even larger Cal-class battleships from two millennia earlier, the Thunderlord relied on heavy armor and overwhelming firepower to survive in combat. Ancient naval reports make it clear that it achieved these goals with surpassing excellence. During their service life with the Republic Navy, a time fraught with internecine warfare and brushfire conflicts, not a single Thunderlord was lost in combat.

The Shieldwall-class defense satellite is the first major product to come out of the promising new start-up company Orbital Automated Industries. Based in the Tion Hegemony, Orbital Automated Industries is one of the few companies from that region of the galaxy not in some way linked to Santhe-Seinar, one of its subsidiaries, or House Santhe itself. The Shieldwall defense satellite is an impressive debut product, being durable, heavily armed, and capable of extended independent operation.

This platform has been made with one purpose in mind. Sit at an area, masked from observers both visually and sensors. It waits and ‘listens’. When it detects a ship within it’s blast radius, it charges the ION pulse wave and waits until the ship is as close as possible before detonating.

 The Assan Citizen Soldier Fighter, an inexpensive atmospheric fighter that is best suited for use in “packs”.  So if you want something different than your usual, expensive fighters, or cheap throwaway fighters, this is the one for you!

 It’s intended to be used for defense against pirates and other scourge of space, as its considered too light for suitable use aboard carriers.  It does, however, come in convenient boxes when you order it, so a planetary militia could stock up on a whole bunch to defend itself and have spares should the need arise.
