A CALL TO ARMS

Errata
This document contains all official updates to A Call to Arms: Star Fleet and will be repeated in all reprints of the rulebook. Revised 19/04/2012.

Page 8
Drone: Drones can only use a limited number of control frequencies when tracking their targets. No more than three ships may attack any single target with Drones in a turn. Plasma-D Torpedo: If a ship has not used a loaded Plasma-D torpedo in a turn and is attacked by enemy drones, it may choose to forego any firing of the Plasma-D in that turn and instead gain the Anti-Drone trait with a score equal to the number of Plasma-D torpedoes it is dedicating to this duty. When finished, the Plasma-D torpedo will require reloading. If the ship runs out of ammunition while using the Anti-Drone trait, it may continue to use the Plasma-D torpedo during the battle but will need reloading first.

Page 14
The Immobile and Slow traits should be in italics as they can never be lost for any reason. Remove the Lumbering trait and delete all references to it from the rest of the rulebook.

Page 15
Seeking: Seeking weapons must travel across space to their target but will doggedly pursue it until they impact and explode with deadly effect. A weapon with this trait will automatically hit a target within 18, without rolling any Attack Dice. At greater ranges, it will require Attack Dicerolls as normal. Apply modifiers (such as long range) to the Attack Dice as normal. With the damage spread around the entire target ship, no rolls are made to see if the weapon penetrates Shields.

Romulans cannot use Plasma Carronades sorry guys, but your plasma launchers just arent built that way!

345 points

* The C8 may choose to fire up to six of these Attack Dice into each of the Port and Starboard arcs.

KF5R Destroyer

105 points

Based on the excellent Klingon F5 frigate design, at least a dozen of these Klingon-built hulls were converted to Romulan technology with cloaking devices and plasma torpedoes. As with all frigates, these ships performed supplementary missions such as convoy escorts, patrols, screens and raids. Ships of the Class: Centaurii, Rapier, Scimitar, Shillelah, Retiariis, Triumver, Nemesis, Galley, Tribune. Turn: 3 Damage: 14/5 Craft: 1 Shuttle Weapon Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-2 Plasma Torpedo-F Plasma Torpedo-F Range 18 18 12 16 16 Shields: 16 Marines: 4 Traits: Agile, Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 1, Transporter 2 Arc F, P F, S A, P, S F, P F, S AD 1 1 3 2 2 Special Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking

* So long as it has a Shields score above 0, a KF5R Destroyer suffering an attack from within its Fore arc will have the number of hits it sustains halved, rounding up, with the exception of any hits that penetrate the shields. These are treated as normal.

SparrowHawk Light Cruiser

170 points (SPA)

The most common of the Hawks, the light cruiser known as SparrowHawk has served on all Romulan fronts and theatres, in every fleet. Designed for efficient production (the hulls of the SparrowHawk and the larger FireHawk were more than 80% identical), SparrowHawks have been built in vast numbers. Ships of the Class: Adversary, Avenger, Defiance, Fearless, Formidable, Furious, Havoc, Harrower, Loyal Warrior, Triumph, WhiteHawk. Turn: 4 Damage: 30/10 Craft: 3 Shuttles Weapon Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Plasma Torpedo-F Plasma Torpedo-F Plasma Torpedo-S Range 18 18 18 18 6 6 6 6 16 16 16 Shields: 24 Marines: 5 Traits: Agile, Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3 Arc F, P, S F, P F, S A, P, S PH SH A, P A, S F, P F, S FH AD 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 4 Special Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking

FireHawk Heavy Cruiser

225 points (FH)

The FireHawk was built in considerable numbers. It was, in effect, a SparrowHawk with a fourth engine, a second type-S plasma torpedo and an enlarged hull packed with extra systems. The excellent spaceframe formed the basis of a bewildering array of even larger (and more heavily loaded) ships such as the NovaHawk, RoyalHawk, RegalHawk, ThunderHawk, KillerHawk and SuperHawk, among others. Ships of the Class: Praetor Maximus, Praetor Karzan, Starhawk, Allegiance, Coalition, Praetor Rolandus. Turn: 4 Damage: 32/11 Craft: 4 Shuttles Shields: 28 Marines: 6 Traits: Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3

KRC Command Cruiser

These were some of the best warp-powered starships that the Romulans deployed prior to the General War, converted from the Klingon D7C. Each ship mounts two Plasma-F torpedoes, two type-S torpedoes and two launch racks for type-D plasma torpedoes. Ships of the Class: Subjugator, Conqueror, Victor.

FastHawk Heavy Cruiser

235 points (FFH)

As did other empires, the Romulans built a fast raider version of their heavy cruiser. More powerful engines drove the ship but the weapons load had to be reduced due to stress. Ships of the Class: Paulus. Turn: 4 Damage: 32/11 Craft: 4 Shuttles Weapon Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Plasma Torpedo-S Plasma Torpedo-S Range 18 18 18 18 6 6 6 6 16 16 Shields: 28 Marines: 6 Traits: Cloak, Fast, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3 Arc F, P, S F, P F, S A, P, S PH SH A, P A, S FH FH AD 2 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 4 4 Special Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Multihit D6, Reload, Seeking

Fr igate

120 points (FF)

A small ship for escort and picketing duties, the Kzintis prefer to send teams of one cruiser and one frigate on larger missions, rather than sending cruiser or frigate squadrons. Ships of the Class: Kzinti frigates have numbers, not names. Turn: 3 Damage: 18/6 Craft: 1 Shuttle Weapon Disruptor Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Drones Range 15 18 18 6 6 36 Shields: 12 Marines: 3 Traits: Agile, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 1, Transporter 3 Arc F F T PH SH T AD 1 1 1 1 1 4 Special Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking

Medium Cruiser
Appearing just as the General War began, the medium cruiser, like the Klingon D5, was designed for mass production, to greatly enlarge the fleets. Costing 60% as much as a battlecruiser, it had 75% of the firepower and was more efficiently designed. The addition of anti-drones (a system previously ignored by the Kzintis) reflected acceptance that the Klingons were using ever increasing numbers of drones in their fleet. These provided a second layer of defence along with the traditional phaser-3s. Ships of the Class: Ripper, Slasher, Snaggletooth, Frenzy, Shadowcat, Death Claw, Night Howler, Blooded Fang, Night Fang, Night Stalker, Black Fang, Silver Fang, Predator, Carnivore. Turn: 4 Damage: 22/8 Craft: 2 Shuttles Weapon Disruptors Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-3 Drones Range 24 18 18 6 36 Arc F PH SH T T Shields: 24 Marines: 6 Traits: Agile, Anti-Drone 2, Labs 4, Tractor Beam 3, Transporter 3 AD 3 1 1 2 4 Special Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking

New Heavy Cruiser

By Y175, the Kzintis faced the same problem as all of the other fleets a lack of true heavy cruisers. The pre-war battlecruisers had suffered steady losses and the production rate of these heavier ships could not keep pace. Ultimately, the Kzintis turned to adding a large section to the back (or top) of their medium cruiser, adding a fourth engine and thousands of tons of additional weapons and equipment. Produced more quickly than the battlecruiser class (which remained in production), the new heavy cruiser kept the fleet up to strength as the General War dragged on. Ships of the Class: Thunderstrike, Swordbreaker, Shadowcutter, Grimholder, Firedancer. Turn: 4 Damage: 33/10 Craft: 2 Shuttles Weapon Disruptors Phaser-1 Phaser-1 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Phaser-3 Drones Range 24 18 18 6 6 6 36 Shields: 24 Marines: 9 Traits: Anti-Drone 2, Labs 6, Tractor Beam 3, Transporter 4 Arc F PH SH A, P A, S T T AD 4 2 2 2 2 2 4 Special Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking

Add Command +1 trait. Add an Attack Dice to both the Phaser-1.
