A CALL TO ARMS Errata This document contains all official updates to A Call to Arms: Star Fleet and will be repeated in all reprints of the rulebook. Revised 19/04/2012. Page 8 Drone: Drones can only use a limited number of control frequencies when tracking their targets. No more than three ships may attack any single target with Drones in a turn. -D Torpedo: If a ship has not used a loaded -D torpedo in a turn and is attacked by enemy drones, it may choose to forego any firing of the -D in that turn and instead gain the Anti-Drone trait with a score equal to the number of -D torpedoes it is dedicating to this duty. When finished, the -D torpedo will require reloading. If the ship runs out of ammunition while using the Anti-Drone trait, it may continue to use the -D torpedo during the battle but will need reloading first. Page 14 The Immobile and Slow traits should be in italics as they can never be lost for any reason. Remove the Lumbering trait and delete all references to it from the rest of the rulebook. Page 15 Seeking: Seeking weapons must travel across space to their target but will doggedly pursue it until they impact and explode with deadly effect. A weapon with this trait will automatically hit a target within 18, without rolling any Attack Dice. At greater ranges, it will require Attack Dicerolls as normal. Apply modifiers (such as long range) to the Attack Dice as normal. With the damage spread around the entire target ship, no rolls are made to see if the weapon penetrates Shields.

F 5 Fr i g a t e 100 points A strange ship, the F5 Frigate is either the largest frigate in the galaxy or the smallest destroyer. Manoeuverable and quick, it is used for raids and counter-raids, along with a host of small ship missions such as convoy escort, patrol and reconnaissance. Ships of the Class: 15 Ardent, 38 Arduous, 4 Audacious, 51 Barracuda, 47 Blackguard, 45 Blackstar, 32 Courageous, 31 Hero of Zursk, 54 Stalker, 43 Undaunted, 26 Vandal, 16 Violation.

The D7 is a combat ship throughout; exploration and rescue are left to unarmed auxiliaries. Ships of the Class: 14 Anarchist, 34 Antagonist, 20 Avenger, 10 Challenger, 30 Decimator, 27 Defiler, 41 Klothos, 16 Nemesis, 32 Relentless, 40 Princess Sangfroid, 8 Thunderchild, 45 Warhammer.

C 8 D r e a d n o u g h t 345 points The C8 was used as a flagship and led the most dangerous planetary and starbase assault missions. They never patrol alone and are the flagships of each border fleet. Ships of the Class: 1 Victory, 2 Admiral Kang, 3 Atrocity, 4 Carnivorous, 5 Admiral Kruge, 6 Terror. Turn: 6 Shields: 30 Damage: 64/22 Marines: 12 Craft: 5 Shuttles Traits: Anti-Drone 1, Command +1, Labs 6, Quick Launch, Tractor Beam 3, Transporter 8 Phaser-1 18 F 10 * Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-2 12 A, P 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise Phaser-2 12 A, S 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise Phaser-3 6 A 4 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Disruptors 24 F, P, S 2 Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Disruptors 24 F 4 Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Drones 36 T 4 Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking * The C8 may choose to fire up to six of these Attack Dice into each of the Port and Starboard arcs. K F 5 R D e s t r oye r 105 points Based on the excellent Klingon F5 frigate design, at least a dozen of these Klingon-built hulls were converted to Romulan technology with cloaking devices and plasma torpedoes. As with all frigates, these ships performed supplementary missions such as convoy escorts, patrols, screens and raids. Ships of the Class: Centaurii, Rapier, Scimitar, Shillelah, Retiariis, Triumver, Nemesis, Galley, Tribune. Turn: 3 Shields: 16 Damage: 14/5 Marines: 4 Craft: 1 Shuttle Traits: Agile, Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 1, Transporter 2 Phaser-1 18 F, P 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, S 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-2 12 A, P, S 3 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise 16 F, P 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, S 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, * So long as it has a Shields score above 0, a KF5R Destroyer suffering an attack from within its Fore arc will have the number of hits it sustains halved, rounding up, with the exception of any hits that penetrate the shields. These are treated as normal.
S p a r r o w H a w k L i g h t C r u i s e r 170 points (SPA) The most common of the Hawks, the light cruiser known as SparrowHawk has served on all Romulan fronts and theatres, in every fleet. Designed for efficient production (the hulls of the SparrowHawk and the larger FireHawk were more than 80% identical), SparrowHawks have been built in vast numbers. Ships of the Class: Adversary, Avenger, Defiance, Fearless, Formidable, Furious, Havoc, Harrower, Loyal Warrior, Triumph, WhiteHawk. Turn: 4 Shields: 24 Damage: 30/10 Marines: 5 Craft: 3 Shuttles Traits: Agile, Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3 Phaser-1 18 F, P, S 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, P 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, S 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 A, P, S 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 PH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 SH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, P 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, S 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise 16 F, P 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, S 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 FH 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Fi r e H a w k H e a v y C r u i s e r 225 points (FH) The FireHawk was built in considerable numbers. It was, in effect, a SparrowHawk with a fourth engine, a second type-s plasma torpedo and an enlarged hull packed with extra systems. The excellent spaceframe formed the basis of a bewildering array of even larger (and more heavily loaded) ships such as the NovaHawk, RoyalHawk, RegalHawk, ThunderHawk, KillerHawk and SuperHawk, among others. Ships of the Class: Praetor Maximus, Praetor Karzan, Starhawk, Allegiance, Coalition, Praetor Rolandus. Turn: 4 Shields: 28 Damage: 32/11 Marines: 6 Craft: 4 Shuttles Traits: Cloak, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3 Phaser-1 18 F, P, S 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, P 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, S 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 A, P, S 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, P 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, S 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 PH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 SH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise 16 F, P 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, S 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 FH 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 FH 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed,
K R C C o m m a n d C r u i s e r 230 points These were some of the best warp-powered starships that the Romulans deployed prior to the General War, converted from the Klingon D7C. Each ship mounts two -F torpedoes, two type-s torpedoes and two launch racks for type-d plasma torpedoes. Ships of the Class: Subjugator, Conqueror, Victor. Turn: 4 Shields: 18 Damage: 22/8 Marines: 8 Craft: 4 Shuttles Traits: Agile, Cloak, Command +1, Labs 4, Tractor Beam 5, Transporter 7 Phaser-1 18 F, P, S 3 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 PH 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 SH 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-2 12 A, P 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise Phaser-2 12 A, S 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 4, Precise 16 F, P 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, S 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, P 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 F, S 2 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Torpedo-D 16 SH 1 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Torpedo-D 16 PH 1 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, * So long as it has a Shields score above 0, a KRC Command Cruiser suffering an attack from within its Fore arc will have the number of hits it sustains halved, rounding up, with the exception of any hits that penetrate the shields. These are treated as normal.
Fa s t H a w k H e a v y C r u i s e r 235 points (FFH) As did other empires, the Romulans built a fast raider version of their heavy cruiser. More powerful engines drove the ship but the weapons load had to be reduced due to stress. Ships of the Class: Paulus. Turn: 4 Shields: 28 Damage: 32/11 Marines: 6 Craft: 4 Shuttles Traits: Cloak, Fast, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 2, Transporter 3 Phaser-1 18 F, P, S 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, P 3 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 F, S 3 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 A, P, S 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 PH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 SH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, P 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, S 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise 16 FH 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, 16 FH 4 Devastating +1, Energy Bleed, Fr i g a t e 120 points (FF) A small ship for escort and picketing duties, the Kzintis prefer to send teams of one cruiser and one frigate on larger missions, rather than sending cruiser or frigate squadrons. Ships of the Class: Kzinti frigates have numbers, not names. Turn: 3 Shields: 12 Damage: 18/6 Marines: 3 Craft: 1 Shuttle Traits: Agile, Labs 2, Tractor Beam 1, Transporter 3 Disruptor 15 F 1 Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Phaser-1 18 F 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 T 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 PH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 SH 1 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Drones 36 T 4 Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking
M e d i u m C r u i s e r 160 points (CM) Appearing just as the General War began, the medium cruiser, like the Klingon D5, was designed for mass production, to greatly enlarge the fleets. Costing 60% as much as a battlecruiser, it had 75% of the firepower and was more efficiently designed. The addition of anti-drones (a system previously ignored by the Kzintis) reflected acceptance that the Klingons were using ever increasing numbers of drones in their fleet. These provided a second layer of defence along with the traditional phaser-3s. Ships of the Class: Ripper, Slasher, Snaggletooth, Frenzy, Shadowcat, Death Claw, Night Howler, Blooded Fang, Night Fang, Night Stalker, Black Fang, Silver Fang, Predator, Carnivore. Turn: 4 Shields: 24 Damage: 22/8 Marines: 6 Craft: 2 Shuttles Traits: Agile, Anti-Drone 2, Labs 4, Tractor Beam 3, Transporter 3 Disruptors 24 F 3 Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Phaser-1 18 PH 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 SH 1 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 T 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Drones 36 T 4 Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking N ew H e a v y C r u i s e r 170 points (NCA) By Y175, the Kzintis faced the same problem as all of the other fleets a lack of true heavy cruisers. The pre-war battlecruisers had suffered steady losses and the production rate of these heavier ships could not keep pace. Ultimately, the Kzintis turned to adding a large section to the back (or top) of their medium cruiser, adding a fourth engine and thousands of tons of additional weapons and equipment. Produced more quickly than the battlecruiser class (which remained in production), the new heavy cruiser kept the fleet up to strength as the General War dragged on. Ships of the Class: Thunderstrike, Swordbreaker, Shadowcutter, Grimholder, Firedancer. Turn: 4 Shields: 24 Damage: 33/10 Marines: 9 Craft: 2 Shuttles Traits: Anti-Drone 2, Labs 6, Tractor Beam 3, Transporter 4 Disruptors 24 F 4 Accurate +1, Multihit 2 Phaser-1 18 PH 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 18 SH 2 Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, P 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 A, S 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Phaser-3 6 T 2 Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Drones 36 T 4 Devastating +1, Multihit D6, Seeking Command Cruiser Variant (Deathdealer) +25 points Add Command +1 trait. Add an Attack Dice to both the Phaser-1.
