 Basic Boarding Action Rules
General Rules
Unit Coherency - Starship crews enjoy a
looser unit coherency of 3.
Squads - Crew members, excluding
dedicated combat squads such as security
teams and mercenaries, are free to join and
leave squads as often as they wish during
the course of the game.
Doors Airlocks and doors can play a vital,
strategic role in this game. Locking or
Jamming a door can force your opponent to
cut through the door or find another way
around. The profile for airlocks and
standard airtight doors on a starship are:
Type Toughness Armor Wounds
Airlock 8 7 3
Door 6 4 1
Airlocks larger than 1 will have 3 wounds
per inch and doors larger than 1 will have 1
wound per inch.
When attacking a door from a range of 1
or less, attacks automatically hit.
General Skills
General Skills may be purchased by any
crewman unless otherwise stated.
Zero G Ops (2 Points) If the ship loses
gravity the unit may move as normal. Treat
Zero G as Rough Terrain for units without
the Zero G skill. Able, Veteran, and
Legendary Crew have this skill and it does
not count toward Skill Count.
Security Access (1 Points) Crewmen
with Security Access may lock and open
locked doors for no action points. Able,
Basic Boarding Action Version 1.3
Veteran, and Legendary Crew have this skill
and it does not count toward Skill Count
I know this ship (4 Points) - Grants the
crewman the Quick Move Skill (1 AP = 1)
only while on his ship. Not available to
Green crewman.
Ships Officers
Unless otherwise noted all ships officers
must be at least a veteran crewman.
Captain
These skills are only available to the master
of the ship, her captain. A captain must be
at least a veteran Crewman.
Like the Back of my Hand (3 Points)
Able to use ships passages, crawlways,
ducts, etc, to move through the ship. If
trapped in an area with no apparent escape
the crewmember with this skill can roll
1d10 and is moved with those in his squad
that many inches away. Only useable twice
per game.
Self-Destruct (4 Points) If half of the
crew is killed and loss looks inevitable the
captain may order the ship to self-destruct.
Roll 1d10 a roll equal to or under the
captains CO initiates a successful self-
destruct sequence. Appropriate flashing
red lights and alarms will go off. The
following Game turn the ships explodes
killing all aboard. Units may be saved if
they start the next turn in an escape pod (if
the ship is equipped with them)
The following modifiers apply to the Self
Destruct Die Roll:

Chief Engineer
Like the Back of my Hand (3 Points)
Able to use ships passages, crawlways,
ducts, etc., to move through the ship. If
trapped in a room with blocked exits the
crewmember with this skill can roll 1d10
and is moved with those in his squad that
many inches away. Only useable twice per
game.
Jam the Door! (2 Points) The engineer
jams the door and only the engineer can
open it! (I sure hope nothing happens to
the engineer) The door can, however, be
destroyed using the standard No Limits
rules.
Suck Vacuum! (4 Points) - The engineer
seals off part of the ship and exposes it to
vacuum! Any models in the sealed off area
without appropriate protection perish, or
even better are blown out the ship as the
air escapes out the open airlock (Roll vs ST
to not get sucked out of the ship). The area
of the ship affected must physically have an
airlock.
Ships Doctor
Some Captains will refuse to ship out unless
they have a qualified ships doctor on board.
They know that these guys and gals can
come in very handy. From curing some
exotic xeno disease to resuscitating the
mostly dead, these crew members are
worth their weight in Credit. Doctors must
be at least Veteran Crewmen.
Basic Boarding Action Version 1.3
Doctor Skill (4 Points) - When in base to
base contact with a model reduced to 0
wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical
bay subtract 1 from the roll. Every wound
received over the total wounds of the
Model serve as a + modifier. Example: A
unit with 1 wound is hit by a weapon
causing 2 points of damage. Since the unit
can only take 1 wound, the other point
counts as a +1 modifier for the doctor. (The
hit unit is pretty messed up) 6 AC per
attempt.

Stabilized. The treated model may get one,
and only one, more chance at being healed,

automatically result in a "He's dead Jim"
result.
He's dead Jim. The treated model succumbs
7-10 to physical trauma and is removed as a
casualty as normal.

Chief Scientist
Shooting at Shadows (10 Points) Is an
improved version of the I Blinded Them
with Science skill. Roll 1D10 divide the
result by 2. The defenders are granted that
many sensor shadow blips that the
defending player may use like the blips
representing actual units. Sensor Shadow
blips are revealed when an enemy unit is in
Line of site. This skill is to be used before
the game starts.

 Basic Boarding Action Rules
Sensor Shadow Blip Tokens. A sensor
shadow token, or Blip, is an item used to
represent actual units or false readings
where a unit may be. The player using the
Shooting at Shadows or I Blinded Them
With Science skills may replace all of their
units on the game table with the Sensor
Shadow Token as well as place extra Sensor
Shadow Tokens on the table as determined
by the skill being used.
A Sensor Shadow token or Blip can be used
to represent an individual unit or an entire
squad.
The end result is that the opposing player
does not know if the Blip represents one
unit, an entire squad, or no units until the
opposing player has a unit in Line of Sight of
the Sensor Shadow Token.
When the opposing play has a unit within
LOS, the player using the Blips must reveal
what is actually there. If the Blip is an
actual unit or squad, remove the blip from
the game table and place the units on the
board.
Blip Movement - During the players game
turn blips may move as if they have an AC
of 5 following the standard No Limits
movement rules.
L33t Hacker (10 Points) An improved
version of the Hacker Skill. In addition to
remotely locking and unlocking doors, the
Chief Scientist creates all types of
distractions. Warning sirens going off,
flashing lights, sewage pipes exploding, etc.
Grants a negative modifier of 1 to all
attacking units. The Chief Scientist must
stay in base to base contact with a terminal
for this skill to be active. 5 AC
Basic Boarding Action Version 1.3
Scientist
I Blinded Them With Science (5 Points)
The attacking player may normally see the
defending players units. However with this
skill the scientist creates field that
scrambles the attacking players sensors.
Replace the defending players units with
generic markers that represent blips on a
motion detector. Once the defending units
are in line of sight, replace the blip with
the appropriate unit. This skill is to be used
before the game starts.
Sensor Shadow Blip Tokens A sensor
shadow token, or Blip, is an item used to
represent actual units or false readings
where a unit may be. The player using the
Shooting at Shadows or I Blinded Them
With Science skills may replace all of their
units on the game table with the Sensor
Shadow Token as well as place extra Sensor
Shadow Tokens on the table as determined
by the skill being used.
A Sensor Shadow token, or Blip can be used
to represent an individual unit or an entire
squad.
The end result is that the opposing player
does not know if the Blip represents One
unit, an entire squad, or no units until the
opposing player has a unit in Line of Sight of
the Sensor Shadow Token.
When the opposing play has a unit within
LOS, the player using the Blips must reveal
what is actually there. If the Blip is an
actual unit or squad, remove the blip from
the game table and place the units on the
board.
Blip Movement - During the players game
turn blips may move as if they have an AC

movement rules.
Hacker (5 Points) Can lock and unlock any
door on the ship remotely. Must be in
contact with a terminal. 3 AC
Chief Security Officer:
Charged with the security of the ship and
any defensive or offensive weapons the
ship may possess. A fat, slow merchant
vessel is often no match for an armed pirate
or raider, but sometimes a veteran Security
officer may have a trick or two up his
sleeve.
Bag O Tricks (10 Points) The security
officer does something sneaky such as
electrifying the hull of the ship or uses
tractor beams to orient the ship so the
airlocks dont meet. In effect delaying all
the invaders from boarding at once. During
turn one the attacker may only place one
squad in the starting area. On subsequent
turns the attacker must roll 5 or less on
1d10 for each squad to bring them onto the
ship.
Advanced Ships Locker (10 points)
Having a licensed security officer allows for
use of an Advanced Ships Locker containing
more powerful weapons. Note: The point
cost of each weapon used must still be
applied to the model using it.
Follow Me Boys! (10 Points) All units in
the same squad with the Security officer get
a bonus of 1 to all ranged and CC attacks
and roll on the Security Officers CO for
Morale Checks.
Basic Boarding Action Version 1.3
Ships Crew
Unless otherwise noted all ships crew may
be at green, Able or Veteran crewman.
Ships Medic
Some ships are not large enough, important
enough or rich enough to afford a full-
fledged ships doctor. Medics are trained to
handle most common injuries and are able
to stabilize severely injured crewmen and
place them into cold sleep until the ship can
reach a medical facility. A ships medic must
be at least an Able Body Crewman.
Medic Skill (2 Points) When in base to
base contact with a model reduced to 0
wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical
bay subtract 1 from the roll. Every wound
received over the total wounds of the
Model serve as a + modifier. Example: A
unit with 1 wound is hit twice by an
automatic weapon causing 2 points of
damage. Since the unit can only take 1
wound, the other point counts as a +1
modifier for the medic. (The hit unit is
pretty messed up) Costs 5 AC per
attempt.
Ships Medic Healing Table
Healed. The treated model regains a wound
1 and will begin its next activation prone but
may otherwise act as usual
Stabilized. The treated model may get one,
and only one, more chance at being healed,

Any crewman who might be, but not limited
to being a technician, security, purser,
Yeoman, cook, etc. may be selected from
the Green, Able, or Veteran categories.
Robots and Droids.
Many duties aboard ship are dangerous,
mundane, or just boring. Many times these
tasks are assigned to a robot. After the
initial expense, Bots, or Droids offer
significant savings in the long run. Their
drawback is that they are limited to their
programing and are often unable it
improvise and create innovative ways to
deal with unusual problems. Bots may be
assigned to a single department and may
choose an appropriate skill. In addition all
Droids and Bots have a built in Rudimentary
Security Protocol and will attempt to defend
the Ship, Crew and passengers. The ship may
have up to five robots per engineer.
Robots fall in 5 broad categories:
Engineering
Medical
Combat
Industrial
Domestic
Engineering Class
Bots that fall under the Engineering class
include but are not limited to: Astromech,
Maintenance, and Tool Bots. These robots
tend to have greater skill and ability in their
area of expertise. Droids with lesser skills
and programmed for simple tasks are
classified as Industrial.
Basic Boarding Action Version 1.3
Industrial Class
-1 Industrial Class bots may look similar to the
Engineering Class, but the difference usually
-1
lies in their programming. Built to tackle
+1 repetitive, dangerous or unskilled work
these bots include: Cargo Robots,
Construction Droids, Power Droids, Delivery
Bots, and the like.
Medical Class
These highly programmed robots server as
nurses, lab assistants, and surgeons.
However all except the most highly
advanced (and expensive) can operate
without a living doctor supervising.
Combat Class
The combat class includes everything from
guard robots to deadly military grade Battle
Droids. It is highly illegal for civilians to own
military grade robots, but distance,
changing laws, and time have somewhat
blurred the line on what a military grade
robot is.
Domestic Class
Domestic class robots are those that are
specifically programmed to interact and
server their living masters. These include
cleaning bots, chef droids, valet droids,
protocol droids, entertainment bots, nanny
bots, etc.

demands are not met! His demands are the
following:
1. A bowl of fruit with smiley faces
drawn on them in permanent ink.
2. A droid that sings opera and can
dance the hula.
3. A shuttle painted white with blue
