SECTOR ZERO
UNITED LEAGUE OF WORLDS SHIPS
(SZR1.1) HEAVY CRUISER (CA):
The United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser was the workhorse of the fleet. Capable of performing a variety of roles, the United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser was known for its versatility. Armed with Four Photon Torpedoes and a full compliment of Phasers, the United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser was a capable combatant. The vessel possessed a surplus of Power and Batteries to accommodate its many Power Absorbers. Near the End of Sector Zero’s Timeline, the United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser was outfitted with Two Prototype Tractor-Repulsor Beams, the most recent evolution of Tractor Beam Technology. These Prototypes were not quite stable, but the United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser was encouraged to use them whenever possible in order to gather invaluable data that could be later analyzed by United League Scientists.
DESIGNER NOTES:
The United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser is critical to Sector Zero because it sets the stage for all future SSD’s in the galaxy. This SSD defines how the Power Absorbers are setup on a starship for defense and how their power requirements are handled by the other power systems. The United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser also sets the standard for Batteries in Sector Zero, which hold more power than the Average Alpha Sector Battery.
Overall, a Sector Zero Starship is going to be slightly Less Powerful than an Alpha Sector Starship. This is primarily due to possessing Phaser-2’s instead of Phaser-1’s. However, from a Defensive and Power Curve Perspective, Sector Zero Starships have the advantage due to their Andromedan-Like Infrastructure. Sector Zero Starships are not really designed to do battle with Alpha Sector Starships since they have Different Design Paradigms, but a friendly game involving the two galaxies could prove to be fun.
Sadly, I cannot divulge the Full Definition of Sector Zero just yet, as the Ongoing Fiction for Sector Zero will reveal the Truth little by little. The U.S.S. Exodus is a United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser.
PHOTON TORPEDOES: These function as described in the Basic Set.
DIRECTIONAL POWER ABSORBER PANELS (PA#X): These function as Power Absorbers except for the following:
⦁ Each Directional Power Absorber Panel must be Energized. It costs 1 Point of Power to raise One Directional Power Absorber to Standard Levels. It costs 2 Points of Power to raise One Directional Power Absorber to Reinforced Levels. Note that the United League of Worlds Heavy Cruiser has 6 Directional Power Absorbers.
PROTOTYPE TRACTOR-REPULSOR BEAMS (TRP): These function as Light Tractor-Repulsor Beams (including Cost) except for the following:
⦁ For each firing, roll 1 Die. On a roll of 6, the Prototype fails to fire. All energy used to power the Prototype Tractor-Repulsor Beam is lost.
⦁ Use the Prototype Repulsor-Beam Chart to resolve Damage.
UNITED LEAGE OF WORLDS BATTERIES: These function as described in the Basic Set except that each Battery holds 3 Points of Power.
PHASER-2: These function as described in the Basic Set.
