One an interceptor inspired by a pic on pintrest, and the other seen in the Battlestar Galactica Reimaged seriesRattlesnakeThe Rattlesnake is a new interceptor released after the development of the Mk VII Viper. It's slightly smaller, engines are in a reverse triangle, with two engines flanking the hull, and the third below. It has two needlers mounted on the top of the hull just ahead of the cockpit. It lacks any provisions to carry missiles, but has ample fuel for its afterburner system. It has two narrow, forward swept wings that angle down.Type: UltralightSubtype: FighterSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 28.3 feetWeight: 35,000 lb.Crew: 1Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 700 lb.Tactical Speed: 5,500 ft.

If the system or one of the engines in damaged in combat (most likely due to a critical hit), the remaining engine provides a tactical speed bonus equal to one-half (round up) the bonus a single engine design would normally provide.Example: A starship equipped with this device and two induction engines would have a total tactical speed bonus of +1,500 ft. If one of the engines is damaged or destroyed the bonus drops to +500 ft. A starship equipped with this device and two gravitic redirectors would have a total tactical speed bonus of +2,500 ft. If one of the engines is damaged or destroyed the bonus drops to +1,000 ft.Minimum Ship Size: Gargantuan.Tactical Speed Bonus: See text.Purchase DC: 15.Improved ThrustComputer system and machinery changes to the engine core grant the starship more power, enabling it to propel the starship at an increased rate of speed. The starship gains a +500 ft. bonus to speed.NOTE: A starship may be equipped with multiple improved thrust gadgets, with each increase past the first granting an additional +250 ft. bonus to speed. (Tactical speed, in squares, is rounded down to the nearest 500 ft. increment.)Restrictions: Starship engines only.Purchase DC: +2.Ejector SeatThe cockpit is fitted with a seat that has rocket boasters, and designed to quickly blast away the canopy, or top hatch to eject the seat and pilot to safety in the event the craft is destroyed immediately. Upon the craft reaching 0 hit points, the ejection system will eject the pilot safely away. However if the craft would be destroyed (see table 7-5 for destruction threshold, d20 Future pg 113 for negative hit points for ship type) by the attack that bought the equipped craft to 0 and below, the ejection seat still ejects the pilot, but must make a Reflex save DC 18, failure the pilot suffers half damage from the ship's destruction (10d6), success means the pilot only suffers 1/4 the damage (5d6). The pilot must have a space suit or other means to survive the vacuum of space. If the ship is destroyed while in a planetary atmosphere, it is equipped with a parachute to safely land.The ejector seat is also equipped with a distress beacon which can be programmed for either general distress on all frequencies, or set to only friendly forces.RCSThe Reaction Control System, is a set of thrusters, placed about the ship, give it improved maneuverability and reaction time. Mk1 Grants +1 to Initiative, and +2 to Pilot checks to perform stunts PDC 14; Mk2 +2 Initiative, +2 to Pilot Checks PDC 15; Mk3 +2 Initiative, +3 to Pilot checks, PDC 16.Virgon Maintenance ShipThe Virgon maintenance ships are fleet and civilian service and repair craft. They have a large flattop deck at the front, with the built up section behind the deck that contains large cargo holds and hangers along with the bridge and crew crew quarters. Below the flattop hangs a secondary hull which has the main engineering and engines with the fuel reserves.Virgon Maintenance Ship (PL 6)Type: LightSubtype: HaulerSize: Colossal (–8 size)Length: 550 feetWeight: 72,000 tonsCrew: 8 (trained +4) plus 30-50 repair crewPassenger Capacity: 8Cargo Capacity: 10,300 tonsTactical Speed: 2,500 ft.

Repair crew can repair damaged ships on the move, and even rearm refuel shuttles and fighters. Refueling and rearming typically fighters takes only 5 rounds, and can repair up to 4 craft at a time if they all fit on the deck.Repair crew gain a +5 to Repair, Craft: Mechanical and Craft: Electrical checks related to starships and starship parts.</blockquote>
