Technical and Historical Data

The Astrarza class has been in use by the Space Revolutionary Army since before the 7th Space War.  Although most of these were destroyed, the SRA has continued building them throughout the colonies, and has a large fleet of them.

There are two launch pads located on either side of the Astrarza's Hull, and units are lifted to launch position on a high speed elevator from a special pre-launch airlock.

[1] Destroying the Main Bridge will deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting.  The ship can still operate, controled from engineering, but is -3 on Initiative and -3 to strike.

[2] Depleting the MDC of the Main Hull will put the ship out of commission.  The airlocks, and Hangar Doors will still operate on Manual.  Emergency lighting will activate, throught out the ship, in the event of main power failure.

[3] Depleting the MDC of the Main Engines will disable the ships ability to move.  It can still alter it's orientation with thrusters, but will not be able to control it's course.  It will become a ballistic object travelling in a straight line on it's last course
