Voidsteel Greatplate.
The Juggernaut’s armor is powered by starlight condensers, granting resistance to fire and force damage. However, if the armor takes more than 30 fire or lightning damage in one turn, it temporarily overheats, reducing AC to 16 until the start of its next turn.
Unstoppable Advance.
The Juggernaut cannot be knocked prone or pushed against its will while wearing armor. Difficult terrain costs it no extra movement.
Boarding Fury (1/Turn).
After hitting with a melee weapon attack, the Juggernaut can make an additional attack with its off-hand weapon or gauntlet, dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage.
Multiattack. The Juggernaut makes two attacks with its Rotary Ether-Cannon or Voidhammer.
Rotary Ether-Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 60/240 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d10 + 3) force or fire damage.
-
Suppressing Fire (Recharge 5–6): The Juggernaut unleashes a cone of etheric bullets in a 30-ft. cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Voidhammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) thunder damage.
Astral Grenade (2/day). The Juggernaut throws a crackling orb of condensed voidlight to a point within 60 feet. Each creature in a 10-foot radius must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) radiant damage and be blinded until the end of their next turn.
Description
Lore
When the cannons roar across the Astral Sea and two spelljammers lock in close combat, the first to cross the void are the Astral Juggernauts — towering warriors wrapped in plates of voidsteel and long, tattered greatcoats that whip like banners in the etheric wind.
They are the Corsairs’ stormtroopers and bulwarks, living siege engines who wield the thunderous rotary ether-cannons that can shred hulls and tear through abominations of the void. Where other Corsairs strike fast and vanish, Juggernauts linger — holding decks, drawing fire, and anchoring assaults through sheer force of will.
Their armor is ancient, forged from the melted wreckage of astral dreadnoughts, powered by condensed starlight cores. Many wear charms and runes carved into their pauldrons: fragments of prayers to old sea gods and dead titans.
Among Corsairs, an Astral Juggernaut’s roar is both rallying cry and omen — a promise that the deck will run red with firelight and blood.
