Ship's Crew - the crew consists of Constructs, a variant of Marut that is bound to the ship and not a contract. Within the crew there are the following:
- An Artificial Intelligence (AI) System that can assume the body of one of the standard Marut Sailors.
- A first mate, a bosun, a quartermaster, an engineer, and a medic.
- Twenty-five sailors.
Ship’s Layout:
Deck 1: Captain's Cabin
1 - Private Terminal (besides receiving the news, you can also invite guests by it)
2 - Aquarium
3 - Armor Locker
- Deck 1 is the Captain's Cabin. It contains an aquarium, armor locker, private terminal, display case for model ships and artifacts, and a bathroom. On the desk are pictures of Bash the Berserk and Gretch il Lupo Oscuro’s Family. At the bedside is a picture of the couple at a Christkindlmarkt.
- Trophies and Wondrous Items:
- Two space cats named Goose and Maverick (“Mavi” for short).
- After saving the Twilight Druid Circle in the kingdom of Amn, Master Verthan’s chessboard was taken as a trophy by Gretch il Lupo Oscuro who took over as Grand Druid, she placed it in the Captain’s Cabin on the desk/table by the bed.
Deck 2: Combat Information Center
1 - Bridge
2 - Galaxy Map (also terminal can be found here)
3 - War Room (the most important place in this room is a terminal to look through war resources and multiplayer game progress)
4 - Conference Room
- Deck 2 is the Combat Information Center, or CIC. It contains the USS Armenship's bridge, the galaxy map, and a conference room. The armory has been moved down to the shuttle bay on deck 5, as per Alliance regulations, and the laboratory has been converted into the new conference room, to make space for the War Room. Jokerand EDI work on the bridge and Specialist Samantha Traynor, the comm specialist, works from the galaxy map.
- A new addition to the CIC layout is the War Room, where War Assets and the Galactic Readiness can be examined. It also contains a Quantum Entanglement Communications room, used by the Captain to contact various individuals to help with the war effort.
Deck 3: Crew Deck
1 – Sir Richard’s Quarters (includes Alter, Armor Rack, Weapons Rack, and Mimic Chest trained to kill intruders and not crew members when opened)
2 - The Main Battery
3 - Server Room/AI Core
4 - Life Support/Medical Bay
5 – Kitchen and Common Area
6 - Observation Deck A (Lounge – Library, Couches, and Massage Chairs)
7 – Observation Deck B (Game Room - Open Bar, Virtual Reality Gaming Chairs, Pool Table, Dart Boards, Card Table)
8 - Crew Sleeping Quarters
- Deck 3 is the Crew Deck. It contains the medical bay, crew sleeping quarters, kitchen, common area, observation decks, AI core, life support, bathrooms, an office and the main battery. The office contains the Broker Terminal, which gives you information about the characters that the party can encounter during the fight, and the Intel Terminal.
- The medical officer, spends their time in the sick bay. The medical bay also has two terminals: one that can be used to administer healing services (i.e. Remove Curse, Remove Disease, Heal, and Revive), and a second that stores the bodies, souls, and equipment of the defeated Party Members and Ship’s Automaton Crew for automatic respawning.
Deck 4: Engineering
1 - Engineering
2 - Stairs on the Subboard
3 - Starboard Guestrooms/Brig
4 - Port Side Cargo Hold
- Deck 4 is the Engineering deck. It contains the USS Armenship's drive core; the starboard cabin is meant for guests and visiting high-ranking officials along for the journey. Since frigates often have a greater need to house prisoners rather than guests, each bed aboard such a vessel also has a set of manacles (see chapter 5 in the Player's Handbook) attached to its frame.
Deck 5: Shuttle Bay
1 - Armory (you find here a weapon modification bench, armor locker and terminal for shopping)
- Deck 5 is the Shuttle Bay. It contains the USS Armenship's armory, cargo hold, and two Kodiak shuttles. Equipment from various retailers can also be purchased here via the procurement terminal at a slight premium over retail prices. A weapon modification bench and armor locker are also available here which party members can use to modify and forge weapons and armor. A small gym and sparring ring is also found here.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Armament:
- Javelin Disruptor Torpedoes (2 Turn Reload Per Launched Torpedo, 6 Tubes)
Initially, the USS ARMENSHIP is armed with two Javelin disruptor torpedo launchers mounted on the joints between its engine mounts and primary hull. The Javelin is an experimental close-assault weapon consisting of paired disruptor torpedo tubes bolted or magnetically "slung" onto the ship's exterior armored hull. The torpedoes are fired on converging trajectories, detonating in a precisely timed sequence that allows the dark energy emitted by their warheads to resonate, magnifying the resulting space-time warp effects and literally shredding the target apart. +5 to hit, 1 mile long and 50 ft wide cone of hitting a target, Must make a DC 18 dexterity saving throw, on failing takes 5d20+5 necrotic damage in a 10 ft radius, on passing takes half damage.
- Thanix Cannon (Recharge 5-6)
The Thanix Magnetic-Hydrodynamic Weapon uses an electromagnetic field to shape and accelerate a stream of superheated molten metal to relativistic velocities, which then impacts its target and deals horrendous damage. It is strong enough to destroy a Warship in two shots. 3 mile long and 5ft wide line, +15 to hit, Must make a DC 20 (-2 per mile) dexterity saving throw and on failing take 25d20+25 radiant damage, on passing they take no damage. Points forwards and can only aim when the ship turns.
- Ramming Prow (No Cooldown)
Defenses:
- Kinetic Barriers
The USS ARMENSHIP is equipped with Multicore shielding utilizing Cyclonic Barrier Technology (CBT). The CBT violently slaps aside rather than halting incoming linear force. By rotationally firing their magic field projectors, the ship creates rapidly oscillating kinetic barriers instead of static ones. Shooting through the CBT is like trying to shoot at a target inside a spinning ball. If an emitter is damaged, the CBT corrects to become a traditional shield array, a safety feature that makes it most effective during opening volleys.
- Heavy Ship Armor
The USS ARMENSHIP is plated with ablative heavy ship armor can be retrofitted to the hull of the ship, improving her survivability in combat. The armor can resist even the tremendous heat and kinetic energy of starship weapons. The armor is nearly unsurpassed in strength because its central material, carbon nanotube sheets woven with diamond Chemical Vapor Deposition, are crushed by magic fields into super-dense layers able to withstand extreme temperatures. That process also compensates for diamond's brittleness.
- GARDIAN Lasers
The USS ARMENSHIP is also armed with an array of anti-missile and anti-fighter craft GARDIAN (General ARea Defensive Integration Anti-spacecraft Network) point defense lasers.
Propulsion & Power:
- Antiproton Thrusters
The USS ARMENSHIP's main propulsion is provided by four large antiproton thrusters, with both aft and forward exhausts. Antiprotons are injected into a reaction chamber filled with magic. The resulting matter-antimatter annihilation provides unmatched motive power. The exhaust of antiproton drives is measured in millions of degrees Celsius; any vessel caught behind them will melt like wax in a blowtorch.
- Fusion Plant
Power for the USS ARMENSHIP's drive core and electrical systems is provided by a nuclear fusion plant. The generated lightning magic provides the energy required to perform the Gate spell to transport Party Members and other forces to and from the Ship's Shuttle Bay. There is also a smaller secondary reactor to provide auxiliary power in case the main reactor is shut down.
- Elfgardian Drive Core
Integral to the USS ARMENSHIP's stealth systems, the oversized Elfgardian drive core generates mass concentrations that the USS ARMENSHIP "falls into", allowing it to move without the use of heat-emitting thrusters and gaining the status of Improved Invisibility. It also generates the magic field around the ship that enables faster-than-light travel or planar shifting.
Sensors & Scanning
- Modular Probe Bay
The USS ARMENSHIP utilizes probes to recover valuable resources from planets and investigate anomalies detected on planets.
- Sensors
The USS ARMENSHIP uses a variety of passive and active scanners, such as visual, thermographic, and radio detectors, radar, and LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging/Truesight). LADAR has a narrower field of view than radar, but LADAR resolution allows images of detected objects to be assembled and essentially casts Truesight for 5 miles.
- Advanced Mineral Scanner
The Advanced Mineral Scanner delivers superior long-range topographical scanning resolution and rendering speed.
By deploying an orbital multistatic grid of 100 radar-emitting micro-satellites, the scanner quickly delivers a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at 15 meters per pixel (mpp) resolution, vastly outclassing the USS ARMENSHIP's previous scanner peak performance of 27 mpp. Such imaging quality provides superior defense intelligence, and at a speed warranted by the dangers of combat.
At slower scanning and rendering speed, the scanner can resolve down to an astonishing 0.001 millimeter per pixel—ideal for geological and biological prospecting, archaeological research, and long-term security surveillance. By employing such a massive multistatic grid of nearly-untraceable micro-emitters, the resilient scanner is virtually invulnerable to electronic or magical countermeasures. The spherical geometry of the scanner grid also allows superior cross-sectioning of targets.
Lair and Lair Actions
USS ARMENSHIP
The ship that the Marut are bound to is the Lair and are part of the Ships AI System. The ship has two Lair actions.
Set Phasers To Stun: The target and every creature within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
All hands on deck: When the ship has been boarded, the AI and Security Forces can call an All Hands! command to unify the minds of all the Constructs manning the ship. The crew will teleport to the breach and attack the invaders.
