Only captains with special clearance - or those who have earned Section 31's notice - can equip this nanopolymer shroud. When activated, even Starfleet's best tracking systems lose the vessel's signature. The ships are refitted with a dark, near-matte black hull with shifting refractive plates. Blue-white lines pulse faintly under the surface, like veins of data. Warp nacelles glow dimly crimson or deep indigo. The Section 31 emblem is etched subtly across the saucer or main hull when viewed under certain lighting. Engine Upgrade:  Improved Thrust, +500 ft. engines have increased power directed to them for improved speed. RCS Mk1 +1 Initiative and +2 Pilot checksDefensive System Modifications: Shields reduced by 10% (round down) as power redirected for other systems.Sensors Upgrade: Low profile scanning modifications. Enemy sensors suffer -5 to Spot and Search checks to detect equipped ship when it is actively using its scanners.Communications Upgrade: Encryption Protocols, increase the Computer Use DC enemy attempts to hack communications or ship systems by +5.Weapons Upgrade: Critical damage modified increased by 1 (x2 becomes x3). Modifications to weapons and targeting algorithms improve critical strikes.Other Systems: Ghost Protocol, Passive stealth upgrade increases stealth systems by +1 for fixed numbers, or by +5% for percentages (such as miss chances). If no active stealth system, enemy sensors suffer -2 to checks to detect. RCS sPDC: +8 Section 31 exclusive Ghost ProtocolDue to experimental technology, the ship is fitted with phase shifter device. Once per combat, when hull integrity drops below 35%, the ship phases out for 4 rounds becoming incorporeal (avoiding all incoming damage from physical and most energy types). However the ship also can't damage other ships unless uses missile, torpedoes or other weapons with physical ammunition that is separate from the ship. Can't be used again for 5 hours, although a Computer Use DC 30 and 5 +1d4 rounds and a Knowledge: Technology DC 25 checks made, can reduce the time down to 5d12 rounds, but this burns out the device and requires complete replacement. 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. 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. Federation Resolute Pattern HullStarfleet engineers designed this hull to embody the principles of unity and resilience. The Resolute Pattern integrates enhanced shield grid harmonics and structural field redundancy, representing the Federation's belief in cooperation and ability, increasing fleet coordination. Polished silver-white hull plating with blue shield emitters and faint holographic Federation insignia overlaying the hull. Subtle deflector-blue light veins trace structural seams. Defensive System Upgrade: Shield HP increased by 15%, Damage Control (and other systems hull repair systems) can be activated as a free action once per round instead of as a move actionSensors Upgrade: Fleet coordination upgrade, if 5 or more allied ships within 10 km of each other gain +1 to attack rolls, Search and Spot checks gain +1 with sensors, and if one ship is aware of something, they all are, meaning can't be surprised unless all are.Weapons Upgrade: Missile/torpedo type weapons and those with area effects have their area effect reduced by 25% (round down) to prevent damage to allied ships.Other Systems: Unified ResponsePDC: +3 Starfleet Only, requires at least 2 other ships with this template. Unified ResponseA series of computer AI upgrades with improved links to sensors and communications helps coordinate allied ships. Once per battle, when an ally ship within 4000 ft drops below 40% hull, the equipped ship gains +15% damage for 2 rounds against the target, if within range, that reduced the allied ship's hull below 40%.Andorian Icefire Resonance PlatingA hybrid hull technology developed in Andoria's deep forges, this plating channels cryo-energy through crystalline matrices, enhancing field control and weapon precision - cold, elegant, and lethal. Frost-blue metallic plating with bright white conduit lines and crystalline ridges. Emits subtle vapor trails under stress. Engine Modification: -500 ft, power from engines is directed to weaponsSensors Upgrade: +2 to Targeting systems, if non installed add Targeting SystemWeapons Upgrade: Energy weapons, not counting missile/torpedo, deal +2 die base damage.Other Systems: Frigid PrecisionPDC: +1 Frigid PrecisionThe modified weapons are better tuned to deal damage to shield systems. On a critical strike, besides bypassing shield systems, deals 25% of the damage of the energy weapon to the shields. Andorian Engineering RefitPrecision through aggression. Andorian shipwrights believe that a vessel's purpose is defined by its capacity for decisive action. Their refits focus on raw performance and tactical feedback control. Angular nacelles and fin stabilizers with sapphire-blue hull plates, illuminated by glacial white running lights. The hull gleams with refractive alloy panels reminiscent of Andoria's frozen plains.The Andorian design bureaus of Thalara and Kumari Station developed this refit to export their proven combat philosophies beyond Imperial fleets. Often favoured by captains who value speed and retaliation over endurance.+10% weapon damage+10% critical chance+15% impulse speed Battle Reflex Field - slightly reduces cooldown on active abilities by 5%. Engine Upgrade: Improved Thrust +500 ft, engines tuned for improved speeds.Weapons Upgrade: Improved Critical (select 2 weapon systems that have critical chance increased by 1, such as 20 becomes 19-20), 2 weapon systems gain +2 die to base damage.Other Systems: Battle Reflex FieldPDC: +2 Battle Reflex FieldThis system diverts power to improved cooling systems and includes improved energy transfer systems for improved efficiency. Any systems that have a cooldown has it reduced by 10% (example 1 minute/10 rounds reduced by 1 round to 9). If the cooldown has a variable, either reduce the number in front of the die by 1, or lower the die type (d6 becomes d4) to a minimum of d4.Stalwart Freighter Package (cargo refit)Originally used in the creation of the Maelstrom Hauler, this modular retrofit was made open source during the Neutral Trade Accords. The Stalwart Freighter Package adds compartment shielding and cargo optimization matrices. Thicker hull plates, extended cargo pods and additional structural bracing, maximizes hauling capacity and cargo protection, and survivability for trade convoys and material recovery. Hit Dice: Increase HD by 10% (round down to nearest 5)Engine Modification: Warp speed reduced by 15%Weapons Upgrade: non missile/torpedo weapons reduced by -3 die base damage.Other Systems: Cargo capacity increased by 50%, Secure ManifestPDC: +1 Secure ManifestReinforced cargo hold helps keep cargo safe, even with the destruction of the ship. 50% of the cargo area is still intact even with the destruction of the ship. Only an attack that deals 50% of the ship's original HP in a single attack that would bring the ship to a minimum of -30% of it's original HP below 0 would destroy this section at the time the ship is destroyed.Prospector Framework (miner)Specialized for extraction and processing operations on planetary bodies and asteroid fields, this modification turns the ship into a miner. High-visibility orange and graphite plating, mining arm extensions, dual emitter drills, and venting thermal coils line the hull. Engine Upgrade: Warp speed reduced by 15% due to added weight and power directed to mining systems.Weapons Upgrade: Non missile/torpedo/physical ammunition dependent weapons have base damage reduced by -3 die. Add Mining Laser, remove 1 weapon (or defensive system)Other Systems: Increased cargo capacity by 30%, Stability FieldPDC: +1 Mining LaserThis laser is designed to slowly and precisely cut into asteroids to break them up or expose materials of interest to the mining ship. As a full round action, a ship with a mining laser, after making a Knowledge: Earth and Life Sciences check DC 16 and an attack roll to strike a Defense 15, +1 per 5 points over the DC succeeded by, able to cut through up to 10 feet of most asteroids (rock, common metals such as nickle, iron, etc), 20 feet through ice comets. Through asteroids made of denser metals, cuts through 5 feet per full round. The laser has a range increment of 2000 ft, out to a maximum of 10,000 ft. If the ship is moving faster than 1000 ft, suffers -1 to attack rolls per 500 ft over 1000 ft the ship is moving that round. If used a weapon, the mining laser deals 6d20 energy damage, ignoring 20 points of hardness, but suffers -4 to attack rolls, as it can only fire in a 60 degree arc in front of the ship with a rate of fire of single, but downwards up to 80 degrees (almost straight down from the base of the split in the front of the ship). Stability FieldWhile ship is stationary while mining, directs the warp field to increase the ship's resilience, which takes a 1 full round and Computer Use DC 15 to activate, which gives the ship +10 hardness to the hull, and shields have resistance to all energy types 30, except to acid, non-specific and force types. However takes 2 rounds for the warp drive to active once the system is disabled.</blockquote>
