suffers a penalty equal to X to all Ballistics
Skills Tests and Detection Tests for its next

only once, doubling the hits for each
degree of success.
Blast
On a result of 1-2 on the Critical Hit Table,
two adjacent components are affected
instead of one.
Compact (X)

normal. Critical Hits to the component deal
an additional X damage to Hull Integrity.
Corrupting
Critical Hits with this weapon also prevent
the raising of the Gellar Field without a
successful Emergency Repairs Test.

Crippling (X)
Instead of rolling for a Critical Hit, continue
to deal X damage directly to the targets
Hull Integrity at the start of every round if
it is not removed by a successful
Emergency Repairs Test.
Ethereal (X)

negated by Void Shields deals an additional
X points of damage to the Crew.

declare this at the start of the turn. It adds
half its normal Strength to the Turret
Rating of its firer and cannot make a
standard attack.

to the Hull Integrity. For every full X points
of damage, randomly select one
Component to become Unpowered.

Fire! Critical Hits.
Ion (X)

targets Armour may be reduced by X
points. Track the facing closest to the
attacker. An Emergency Repairs Test will
remove this penalty, but the ship will
require extensive repairs afterwards. If

apply only the highest value of X. The
effect stacks between turns unless
repaired.

against it. It deals additional damage equal
to the targets Hull Integrity / 10.

Loota (X)
On a Critical Hit, roll a d10. On X and
higher the affected component is ripped
