Return to Starship Codex

Fortress ships are the fighting pride of the earth space navy. Like the bygone era battleships seen in wars at sea. The fortress ship excludes most carried craft, and mobility in exchange for heavy and powerful defenses, and awe inspiring firepower. Originally the fortress ship was designed as the counterpart to the fleet carrier designed so that they would compliment each other by covering for each others short comings. Indeed the two ships are most often seen in fleets together or paired together in a task force.

Unlike many other types of warships at the disposal of earths space navy the fortress ship is never sent out alone, and has sadly in resent years started to fall out of favor due to the overspecialization and total lack of flexibility.

• • Capitalships require the Pilot Starship Skill to be operated.

• • Many capitalship have vehicle mounted weapons, these vehicle weapons require the Vehicle Weapon Proficiency feat.

• • A capitalship can forgo all standard attacks (not including automated weapons witch function normally) to provide heavy covering fire. In a radius around the capitalship equal in size to its own fighting space, this area is counted as rough terrain to enemy vehicles costing double movement to move. This area also grants a +2 bonus to defense to all friendly vehicles. (Vehicle Trait)
