Theyused the Y-wing as a basis for the frame, but everything inside uses United Earthand early United Federation of Planets technology, including polarized hullplating, phased cannons and spatial torpedoes. The Artemis isn't equipped witha warp drive requiring a ship to carry to a combat zone. Armed with a singlephased cannon in the nose, with a pair of plasma cannons in the turret. Whilephotonic torpedoes were available, they took up more space than spatialtorpedoes, so the later was chosen, as they were cheaper and more could befitted in the hull. The engine nacelles are fitted with powerful impulseengines. The pilot or the gunner can operate the spatial torpedoes, but onlythe pilot can control the phase cannon.Artemis are used assystem patrol and defense craft, working in wings of 2 to 4, or as squadrons ofup to 12, working in wings of 4, and when carried by other ships, act as forcemultipliers in combat, excellent for flanking maneuvers and surrounding largertargets and distraction for larger starships to strike with heavier weapons. Artemis Class AttackCraft (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: Heavy FighterSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 4000 ft, 230 (23) atmosphereDefense: 2 (10 base -8 size)Flat-Footed Defense: 2 (10 base - 8 size)Autopilot Defense: Hardness: 15 (20 with polarized hull plating)Hit Dice: 11d20 (220 hp)Initiative Modifier: Pilot's Class Bonus: Pilot's Dex Modifier: Gunner's Attack Bonus: Length: 75.6 ftWeight: 110,700 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 2Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 300 lbsGrapple Modifier: +8Base PDC: 49Restriction: Mil (+3)Attack: Phased cannon -5 ranged (12d10, 20, fire/energy, 5000 ft, single);Or spatial torpedo-5 ranged (18d8, 20, fire/energy, -, single) (optional fire-linked increasesdamage to 27d8) Gunner2 fire linked plasmaweapons -1 ranged 7d10, 20, fire, 3000 ft;Or spatial torpedo-5 ranged (18d8, 20, fire/energy, -, single) (optional fire-linked increasesdamage to 27d8)Attack of Opportunity:  Standard PL(6)Design Spec: Twin Engine, heavy loadEngines: thrusters, Ion engineArmour: ditaniumDefense Systems: polarized hull platingSensors: Class III, Targeting SystemCommunications:Radio TransceiverWeapons: Phased Cannon, 2 fire-linked plasma weapons (turret), 2 spatialtorpedo launchers (5 torpedoes each)Grappling Systems: None Phased CannonPhased cannons arethe precursor to phaser weapons, a phased energy beam weapon that had variableenergy output.

The damage can be to the maximum radius,or to a single target, in which case to a single target the weapon gains ignorehardness/damage +1/die over 3.

Italso has the advantage of making the ship more difficult to lock onto with mostgrappling systems. Activating Polarized Hull Plating takes a standard action,granting +5 to the ships hardness, and as long as the system has power (50%chance of this power not being interrupted) and active before the ship reaches0 hit points, increases the ship's destruction threshold by 50%, and the shiponly loses 1 hit point every 2 rounds. Most ships will have a separate powersupply just for this system. Unfortunately a ship can not run this systemindefinitely, and can only remain running for a maximum of 30 minutes beforerequiring at least 10 minutes of being inactive. PDC: 5 + one halfbase PDC of starship. Artemis Mk2The Mk2 saw anupgrade in power systems that allowed it to mount a pair of forward pulsedphased cannons and a single pulsed phase cannon in a turret. It still carriesspatial torpedoes, but saw an increase in the magazine, and an improved loadingmechanism to allow faster firing of torpedoes. It still lacks shields and warpdrive.Make followingchanges to Artemis to make Artemis Mk2:Replace Phased Cannon with 2 fire-linked pulse phased cannons (18d10);Replace 2fire-linked plasma weapons turret with pulsed phaser cannon turret (12d10)Increase spatialtorpedo magazines to 6 torpedoes each;Spatial torpedolaunchers rate of fire now semi;Reduce speed to 3500ft;PDC: +1 Pulsed Phased CannonThese weapons areimproved versions of the phased cannon in that it has improved rate of fire,range and accuracy, however they have the same damage ratings.

The frame still follows that of the Y-wing, with an angularand blocky body with a larger front which contains the primary weapons andcockpit, following the blocky design of shuttles of the time. Two struts jutout from the rear sides which contain the impulse engines, with the round warpnacelle on the ends. With the addition of a warp drive, wings of Skadi canpatrol surrounding systems, or strike away from home bases or starships, or canescape a combat zone under their own power if their carrier is destroyed. Thephased cannons are replaced with phasers, it only carries two photon torpedoesdue to their size in a belly launcher, but the addition of shields is seen as abalanced offset for the reduced number of missile weapons.In combat the Skadiwork in wings of 2 to 4, or squadrons of 3 flights, working together to flankand harass targets for larger starships to strike with heavier weapons.  Skadi Class AttackCraft (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: Heavy FighterSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 4000 ft, 230 (23) atmosphereDefense: 2 (10 base -8 size)Flat-Footed Defense: 2 (10 base - 8 size)Autopilot Defense: Hardness: 20Hit Dice: 13d20 (260 hp) shields 325 hpInitiative Modifier: Pilot's Class Bonus: Pilot's Dex Modifier: Gunner's Attack Bonus: Length: 79.4 ftWeight: 115,400 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 2Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 300 lbsGrapple Modifier: +8Base PDC: 50Restriction: Mil (+3)Attack: 2 Fire-Linked Type 2 phasers -5 ranged (13d10, 20, fire/energy, 5000 ft, semi);Or photon torpedo -5ranged (12d20, 20, fire/energy, -, single) GunnerType 2 phaser turret-5 ranged (9d10, 20, fire/energy, 5000 ft, semi);Or photon torpedo -5ranged (12d20, 20, fire/energy, -, single)Attack of Opportunity:  Standard PL(6)Design Spec: Twin Engine, heavy loadEngines: thrusters, Ion engine Warp drive (max warp 6.5, cruise 6, 50 lightyear range)Armour: heavy ditaniumDefense Systems: shieldsSensors: Class III, Targeting SystemCommunications:Radio Transceiver, subspace transceiverWeapons: 2 fire-linked phaser type 2, phaser type 2 turret, photon torpedo launcher (2 torpedoes)Grappling Systems: None  Phaser Type 2Phasers are the mainoffensive weapons of the Federation, using nadian based phased energy that firebeams, capable of variable energy output.

These weapons usually draw theiranti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoesrequire special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matterafter a fight.  At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increasedamage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area..The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weaponsare very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary useexcept in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, dealsdamage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals halfdamage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50%chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damageto the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.
