PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Rim Dynamics
  • Affiliation: Rim Dynamics | Caragachi Commonwealth
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: RD-XD7 Adaptive Shield Augment
  • Modularity: None
  • Production: Limited
  • Material: Corondum, copper, gold, agrinium coating
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Shield Attachment: The RD-XD7 can be physically attached to a shield generator by connecting its wiring to that of the generator before being secured in place by exterior clamps. Alternately, the Augment can be attached to an outlet connected to both the shield generator and the generator powering it.
  • Anti-Leech Features: The RD-XD7 effectively counters shield leech weapons by altering the behavior of an existing deflector shield at the atomic level. To this end, the Augment instructs the shield to ionize its own atoms, utilizing electrons to increase the potential energy inside the shield while reducing by its rigidity. Furthermore, the Augment modifies the shield to give way in sections where kinetic force has been applied before quickly restoring itself. As a result, energy leech weapons can only deprive energy from sections of a shield they make direct physical contact with, usually affecting no more than a square meter of shielding.
STRENGTHS
  • Anti-Leech: The RD-XD7 counters energy leech weapons by automatically disabling regions of a shield immediately within and surrounding a kinetic impact, reducing by up to 95% the amount of energy a leech weapon can take from a shield.
  • Easy Fit: The RD-XD7 can be attached to nearly any capital ship, space station, large vehicle, or fortification without needing modification or an additional power source.
  • On/Off Switch: Since the RD-XD7 can be manually enabled or disabled with little delay, it is possible for captains to enable their shield coat the moment it is attacked by energy leech weapons and then disable it to launch a kinetic counterattack immediately afterwards.
WEAKNESSES
  • Multi-Shot: If more than one shield leech weapon is fired at the exact same spot and both projectiles impact a shield within a second of each other, the second projectile will bypass the augmented shield, hitting the hull or unaugmented shield beneath.
  • Two-Way Barrier: While active, the RD-XD7 makes a shield behave like a particle shield, regardless of what type of shield is being augmented. Consequently, a ship will be unable to fire its kinetic weapons (if any are equipped) without hitting its own shields.
DESCRIPTION
For Alge Imperial, an anti-energy leech barrier has been a long time coming.
​
From Dac to Caragach, half a dozen Alge-produced capital ships have been crippled or destroyed by Thunderbolt missiles, with two of them being large Star Destroyers. These disasters represent by far the most costly losses of AISI warships in battle, and for years the corporation has attempted to develop an effective countermeasure not only to Thunderbolts but to all weapons of their kind.

Though it would take tens of millions of credits and countless failed prototypes, eventually a breakthrough was made. Rather than trying to develop an entirely new form of defense, AISI’s engineers instead decided to modify existing deflector shields using an augment device to alter shield behavior on an atomic level.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Cutting-Edge: The S.E.T. is the Caragachi Commonwealth’s most advanced warship, featuring technology that can turn the tide of a battle in instant.
  • Supercarrier: Like all Sykes-class fleet carriers, the Sykes Testbed has cavernous hangars can support a very large starfighter complement.
  • Grand Flagship+: Boasting superior comms even compared to its more standard brothers, the S.E.T. can coordinate vast fleets in the thick of battle.
  • Super Shields+: The S.E.T. is second only to Caragach’s experimental battleships in toughness. Further enhanced from those of the standard Sykes, the S.E.T.’s shields can only be seriously threatened by superheavy weapons or bombardment from thousands of missiles at once.
WEAKNESSES
  • Bantha in Space: Sykes-class fleet carriers are large, sluggish and slow to turn, making them easy targets for starfighters and larger warships alike if caught unescorted.
  • Decapitation: The relatively narrow “neck” of the Sykes-class is a weak spot that can be exploited to split the carrier in two with concentrated fire.
  • Thin Skin: Though heavily shielded, Sykes-class fleet carriers are lightly armored for their size.
DESCRIPTION

The Sykes-class fleet carrier is Alge Imperial’s second ever venture into Star Destroyer-sized warships.
​
Like the slightly larger Cato-class, the Sykes is a resilient large carrier design intended to form the center of fleets or battlegroups. Unlike the Catos, the Sykes is a pure fleet carrier, sacrificing heavy firepower for enlarged hangars. Despite their strong shielding, Sykes-class fleet carriers are not intended to charge headlong into enemy fleets, instead relying on its powerful air wings to eliminate enemy capital ships at extreme range.

Notably, the Sykes-class fleet carrier is the result of the Caragachi Commonwealth’s first official contract with AISI. The high endurance and resilience of the Sykes-class is a clear reflection of Caragach’s ambition to assert its influence abroad in a lasting manner. Additionally, the vast hangars that are standard to the Sykes-class give Caragachi admirals more flexibility than they would have with a battleship of equal size. For instance, the content of the Sykes’ starfighter complement can be arranged to best suit a specific mission or battle and swapped out between engagements, giving an admiral the freedom to perform radically different missions from a single ship.

STRENGTHS
  • Troop Transport: A single Recourse-class transport can comfortably fit twenty human-sized soldiers and all their equipment.
  • Nimble: Recourse-class transports are remarkably agile for their size.
WEAKNESSES
  • Not a Starfighter: As their name suggests, Recourse-class transports are troop transports, not fighters or bombers. Recourses quickly crumple under cannon fire while their own modest armament is only useful against infantry and light vehicles.
  • Ion Vulnerable: Most ion cannons can bring down a Recourse-class transport’s shields in two or three shots.
DESCRIPTION​

Ever since the first galactic civilizations waged war, there has been a need for ships that can efficiently and effectively transport troops from orbit to a planet’s surface. The Recourse-class is one of the newest ships to fill this niche, designed by Alge Imperial Shipyards Engineering to provide governments in the galactic rim with a cheap but effective means of deploying troops onto hostile worlds.

Lightly armed for its size, the Recourse-class is strictly a troop transport rather than a gunship that can stay on the battlefield to disrupt hostile forces. Nonetheless, its laser cannons can provide decent suppressive fire, allowing the dropship to deploy soldiers close to the battlefield.

STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Equipment Transport: Garza-class transports are able to transport and rapidly deploy four light vehicles, two medium vehicles, a heavy vehicle, or up to 50 tons of cargo using their arm-mounted tractor beams.
  • Durable: Well-armored and decently shielded, Garza-class transports are invulnerable to small-arms fire while being able to tank several anti-vehicle missiles before being destroyed.
  • Gunship: All Garzas have a bottom-mounted heavy laser cannon capable of rotating 360 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees horizontally, allowing them to lay down suppressive fire at any angle. Furthermore, the heavy laser cannon is a fairly strong weapon against ground targets that can threaten both infantry and light vehicles.
WEAKNESSES
  • Not a Starfighter: Lightly armed for their size, Garzas are further disadvantaged by the placement of their sole cannon on the bottom of their hull, rendering them defenseless against attacks from above or the sides.
  • Ion Vulnerable: Ion cannon fire can quickly bring down a Garza’s shielding and disrupt its tractor beams, causing it to prematurely drop its cargo.
DESCRIPTION
​
Following its successful design of the Recourse-class troop transport, Alge Imperial Shipyards sought to create a complementary transport capable of deploying armored vehicles and cargo rather than infantry. Though initial designs struggled to produce a ship that was both compact and able to carry large vehicles, a solution was devised by an experienced engineer named Joanne Garza. Rather than attempting to hollow out a large enclosed interior, the ship would have two large “arms” carrying tractor beams used to clamp onto vehicles or cargo.

This new design proved successful, and thanks to the AISI tradition of lending the names of innovators to their products, the ship would become known as the Garza-class. Rugged, reasonably fast, and equipped with a heavy laser cannon turret to lay down suppressive fire, the Garza excels at rapidly deploying armored vehicles close to the front lines and resupplying exhausted or encircled divisions.

  • Minimum Crew: 2 (1 driver, 1 gunner)
  • Optimal Crew: 3 (1 driver, 1 gunner, 1 radio operator)
  • Passenger Capacity: 0
  • Cargo Capacity: None
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • 4x front-mounted industrial headlights
STRENGTHS
  • Big Gun: Equipped with a highly accurate vertically stabilized 120mm mass driver cannon capable of loading many different types of ammunition, the A28 Taurus can reliably engage and destroy enemy armor at range.
  • Tanky: The A28 Taurus is covered in thick, sloped, multi-layered armor which is highly resistant to kinetic, energy, and thermal damage. Its frontal armor and turret armor is especially tough, able to withstand several average anti-tank munitions before breaking.
  • All-Terrain Vehicle: Equipped with a pair of rugged treads, the A28 Taurus can travel cross-country nearly as fast and reliably as it can on paved highways. Furthermore, a Taurus can ford water nearly as deep as the tank is tall without suffering any mechanical damage with the simple addition of a snorkel.
  • Low Profile: At 2.5 meters tall atop its turret and barely 1.5 meters tall on average, the Taurus is a fairly short tank that can take advantage of cover that larger, taller vehicles would not be able to use.
WEAKNESSES
  • Thin Flanks: Compared to its thick frontal armor, the A28's side armor and especially its rear are far less protected.
  • Stuck in the Mud: Very soft terrain such as fresh mud or loose sand can trap a Taurus' treads, immobilizing the tank.
  • Loud: Despite being able to maintain a low visual profile, there is nothing stealthy about the audio profile created by the rumbling of the Taurus' treads or the roaring of its engine.
DESCRIPTION​

For as long as there have been modern armies, there has been a need for tanks. From the early days of the Old Republic to over nine hundred years after the battle of Yavin, tanks or their walker equivalents have served in nearly every faction ever to exist. In this context, the A28 Taurus is simply the newest armored vehicle to enter the fray. Yet it is no less impressive than any of the vehicles that have come before it.

Possessing an excellent mix of firepower, armor, and speed, the Taurus is a well-crafted tank capable of forming the backbone and spearhead of any armored formation. Equipped with a powerful 120mm mass driver cannon, the A28 can easily snipe lighter vehicles while penetrating the hulls of most of its contemporaries at closer range. An additional complement of six guided missiles gives the Taurus additional flexibility to engage targets outside visual range or threaten vehicles too tough for its mass driver alone.

Given its army doctrine centered on maneuver warfare, the Caragachi Commonwealth was quick to procure orders of the Taurus to modernize and bolster their ground forces. With tens of thousands of tanks due for the assembly line, the A28 is set to be among the most numerous armored vehicles in the Caragachi Army.

  • Deployment Hatch: On top of the Scorpio near the front of its frame is a hatch which provides the primary entry and exit point for its crew. Though elevated far above ground level when a Scorpio is deployed, the hatch can be accessed by crew when the Scorpio is in an idle state, its legs bending down to plant its body firmly on the ground.
STRENGTHS
  • Siege Breaker: Equipped with a devastating Arstax beam projector, X45a Scorpios can singlehandedly level entire fortresses.
  • Indomitable: Scorpios can shrug off all but the toughest of ground-based firepower.
  • Rock Climber: A sharp “toe” on each leg allows for a Scorpio to dig into and climb sheer cliff faces while magnetic clamps on their “feet” enable the walkers to climb up metal walls.
  • Walking Terror: The sheer presence of a Scorpio on the battlefield can drive an enemy to panic.
WEAKNESSES
  • Behemoth: A hulking colossus, the X45a Scorpio is visible for tens of miles in any direction and an unmistakable target for any nearby tank, artillery unit, aircraft, or warships.
  • Blind Spots: In order to use its main weapon, the Axstar projector, a Scorpio must be directly facing its target. Consequently, any attackers on the Scorpio’s flanks can only be targeted with its far weaker laser cannons, and even they cannot fire on targets directly above, below, or behind the walker.
  • Weak Points: Though extremely resilient, the Scorpio is not invincible. Their armor is weakest on their leg joints and around their beam projector (when firing), both of which will cripple the walker if destroyed.
DESCRIPTION​

A towering behemoth of a walker, the X45a Scorpio is one of the few Caragachi war machines to bear the title of Terror. Protected by nigh-invulnerable armor plating and equipped with a formidable Axstar beam projector, a single Scorpio can lay waste to entire armies. Yet for all its immense capabilities, the design history of the Scorpio is wrought in controversy.

For decades, the official army doctrine of the Caragachi Commonwealth has been one of maneuver warfare centered on mobile main battle tanks. Recognizing its inability to defeat most factions in attrition warfare, the Caragachi Army has traditionally shunned heavy, slow, and fuel-intensive walkers. On paper, the Scorpio is the antithesis to everything the Army seeks out of its vehicles.

However, its supporters have offered a compelling argument. According to them, there are certain heavily fortified worlds and locations that standard tank companies cannot penetrate, yet require greater precision than can be provided by an orbital bombardment. The Scorpio, with its Axstar beam projector, provides the perfect solution: a vehicle more heavily armed than anything else in the Caragachi Army that can fire beams precise enough to target specific weak points while minimizing collateral damage.

Type B SuperSmoke Generator above.​
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Rim Dynamics
  • Affiliation: Rim Dynamics, its subsidiaries, & select customers
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: Rim Dynamics SuperSmoke Generator
  • Modularity: Yes - scalable
    • SuperSmoke Generator type A: Smallest model, intended for tanks, bombers, and heavy fighters.
    • SuperSmoke Generator type B: Medium generator designed for large vehicles and small capital ships.
    • SuperSmoke Generator type Ca: 10m x 6m x 2m generator designed for larger capital ships and stations.
    • SuperSmoke Generator type Cb: Largest model, a 100m x 80m x 15m generator designed for Star Dreadnoughts and extremely large space stations.
  • Production: Mass-Produced
  • Material: Durasteel frame and coolant tubes, aluminium vent and heated fuel container, iron-based smoke infusion
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Heated Fuel Container: A large, rectangular container at the center of the SuperSmoke Generator stores oil, gasoline, or low-grade ship fuel that is heated to a boil within the container. The heater is powered by an outside source such as a ship’s reactor or a tank’s engines.
  • Smoke Infuser: After the base fuel is added, a small pipe on the side of the container adds a set quantity of radar-absorbing iron ball paint to the mixture.
  • Pressurized Cooling Tubes: Two pressurized cooling tubes connect the fuel container to a ventilation system or the outside environment cool air to enter the container and condense the evaporated fuel and infusion mixture into a dark gray smoke.
  • Smoke Vent: Fog exits the SuperSmoke Generator through the smoke vent, a large tube with a hatch separating the generator’s interior from the outside.
STRENGTHS
  • Smokescreen: As its name suggests, the Rim Dynamics SuperSmoke Generator specializes in creating large clouds of smoke that obscure vehicles and warships from the view of most species, concealing weak spots and other vulnerabilities.
  • Scrambler: The iron ball paint infusion added to make SuperSmoke is able to disrupt targeting equipment and reduce the effectiveness of radar at pointing out specific details on a ship, making it difficult to land a clean shot on a vehicle concealed behind a smoke screen.
WEAKNESSES
  • Gone With the Wind: SuperSmoke can be dispersed and made ineffective by strong wind or sonic attacks.
  • Double-Blind: While it is difficult for most beings to see a ship concealed by SuperSmoke, it is also difficult for beings in the ship producing the smoke to see ships on the other side of the smoke screen. Furthermore, SuperSmoke also disrupts the targeting systems of the vehicle that is inside its smokescreen, forcing them to rely on manual fire or previous calculations to maintain accuracy.
DESCRIPTION
​
Though a popular and profitable product, the effectiveness of the AISI Mass Smoke Generator had begun to be questioned as early as a few weeks after it entered the market. A major shortfall of the original smoke generator was that it only disrupted visual target locks, making it nearly useless against any radar-equipped warships or bombers. Hoping to resolve this issue to produce a superior product for its military clients, Alge Imperial’s Board of Directors authorized work on an improved generator.

The project was eventually taken up by Rim Dynamics, AISI’s newly established parent company. Taking inspiration from the success of the earlier Laimar-class stealth carrier, iron ball paint was integrated into the new generator as an infusion to the existing smoke. The addition of iron ball paint enhanced the smoke by not only absorbing inbound radar pulses but also disrupting targeting systems due to the increased density and conductivity of the so-called SuperSmoke compared to its ordinary counterpart.

  • Ammunition Capacity: Average [20 seconds of continuous fire per cell]
  • Effective Range: Battlefield
  • Rate of Fire: Very Low [Semi-Auto, 20 second cooldown between shots]
  • Damage Output: Very High
  • Recoil: Low
SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Plasma Lance: The HAZ-26 Axstar is a beam weapon, firing a continuous beam of plasma that poses a threat not only for its target but also for everything in between it and the cannon.
  • Sniper: The beam produced by the Axstar can travel as far as 300 kilometers before diffusing.
  • Area of Effect: Due to the focused and sustained nature of the Axstar beam, it is capable of superheating a two meter radius around where the beam strikes a target, boiling flesh and melting steel in a matter of seconds.

WEAKNESSES
  • Traced to the Source: The plasma beam fired from the Axstar Beam Projector is large, bright, and extends all the way to the barrel of the projector. Consequently, there is little opportunity for stealthy use of the beam projector, as it reveals the attacker’s position as soon as it fires.
  • Slow Charge: The Axstar has a twenty-second cooldown between power cell charges, limiting its use to two full beams per minute.
DESCRIPTION

The HAZ-26 Beam Projector, better known as the Axstar, is a very large, starship or vehicle mounted long-range plasma beam cannon developed by Rim Dynamics. As its name suggests, the HAZ-26 Beam Projector fires a single, continuous beam of energy rather than the short bursts of fire from conventional laser cannons or turbolasers. Derived from the common laser-borer design, the Axstar is by comparison significantly upscaled in size, range, and destructive power.

Due to the continuous nature of its beam, the Axstar is able to achieve a maximum range far beyond that of similarly sized turbolasers. Consequently, the beam projector makes a great weapon for sniper warships. Furthermore, the fact that the Axstar’s beam is continuous across its entire range enables a single beam to pierce multiple targets at once, especially lighter craft such as starfighters which are almost universally vaporized upon contact. Yet the HAZ-26 is also effective on planetary surfaces, whether facing up as an anti-orbital weapon or aimed downrange to scythe through enemy artillery, heavy armor, and fortifications.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Rim Dynamics
  • Affiliation: Rim Dynamics, its subsidiaries, & select customers
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: Rim Dynamics GM-101 “Gamemaster” Anti-Tank Guided Missile
  • Modularity: None
  • Production: Mass-Produced
  • Material: Agrinium frame, aluminium wiring, electronic components, tibanna-based power cell
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Top-Attack: Rather than hitting enemy armor head-on, the GM-101 takes a path that terminates directly above the target, at which point it abruptly dives down, impacting the target vehicle from directly above.
  • Tandem Charge: After the Gamemaster hits its target, it splits into two unequal parts: a weak charge at the tip and a strong charge behind the tip. The weak charge is designed to set off reactive armor while the strong charge hits the target shortly after the weak charge is spent, dealing the majority of the missile’s armor penetration.
  • Dual Tracking Sequence: The GM-101 uses two separate technologies to find a target: thermal imaging to secure an initial target lock and visual screening using its front-mounted camera sensor to make the precise maneuvers needed for a top attack.
STRENGTHS
  • Headshot: The GM-101 is best known for its top-attack capabilities: it almost always hits its target from directly above, allowing it to bypass most vertical obstacles such as walls or terrain as well as thick frontal armor.
  • Tandem Charge: Technically two projectiles inside a single missile, the Gamemaster is able to use its tandem charges to effectively penetrate multi-layered armor.
  • Fire and Forget: After a Gamemaster missile is fired, it uses its dual trackers to automatically track its target, allowing the launcher to redeploy or fire other missiles.
WEAKNESSES
  • Watch Your Head: Thanks to its unorthodox angle of attack, the GM-101 is unable to hit a target if either its launcher or the target themselves has vertical cover that is 5 meters or less above them.
  • Small Radius: The Gamemaster is strictly an armor-piercing missile with a fairly small blast radius. Consequently, multiple Gamemasters will be needed to seriously damage lightly armored but large vehicles.
DESCRIPTION

Heavily armored vehicles have long been a menace to infantry and lighter vehicles alike, able to shrug off most hits with impunity while annihilating their foes with powerful cannons. The GM-101 Gamemaster is designed to level the playing field by providing even light infantry with a fairly reliable means of threatening enemy armor.

Recognizing the failure of even many existing anti-tank weapons to penetrate the frontal armor of heavy vehicles, Rim Dynamics decided it would be best to bypass the issue entirely. Its engineers understood that the top of an armored vehicle was usually one of its most neglected points defensively and so decided to craft a missile designed specifically to strike from above.

The result would end up being refined into the Gamemaster missile, a top-attack weapon with excellent armor penetration. With a range of around 10 kilometers, the GM-101 can match or surpass the range of most tank cannons, allowing its operators to open fire from relative safety. The Gamemaster can be equipped both in single-shot infantry-portable launchers and multi-shot rocket launchers on military vehicles or gunships, allowing it to be widely deployed across large formations.
